Clean Cities / 13 Funding Opportunity Announcement
DEFOA0000951: Alternative Fuel Vehicle Deployment Initiatives We
are pleased to announce a new DOE Funding Opportunity, which was
posted on July 16th on the Grants.gov and EERE Exchange. Wednesday,
the Energy Department announced up to $4.5 million to expand the
use of alternative fuel vehicles through the Clean Cities program
including plug-in electric, natural gas, propane and flexible fuel
vehicles. Concept papers are due August 1 st Full applications are
due October 1 st Awards: 7-15 deployment projects in three major
areas: on-the-road demonstrations, safety- related training, and
emergency preparedness.
Slide 14
Clean Cities / 14 Funding Opportunity Announcement
DEFOA0000951: Alternative Fuel Vehicle Deployment Initiatives
Demonstration Projects: The first area of funding focuses on
increasing the number of drivers that can experience alternative
fuel vehicles first-hand. Projects in this area will help potential
buyers drive these vehicles for extended periods of time and gather
data about their experiences. By increasing access to these
vehicles through car-sharing, rental car, and commercial fleet
leasing programs, more drivers will understand their benefits and
be more likely to purchase them. First Responder Training: Projects
under the second area of funding will develop and/or deliver
training on alternative fuel vehicles to emergency first
responders, public safety officials, and automotive technicians.
This area may fund in-person workshops and online training courses
to educate these vital personnel on safely handling and responding
to incidents involving alternative fuel vehicles. Emergency
Preparedness: The third area of funding will support efforts to
incorporate alternative fuels into city, state, and regional
emergency management plans. Because natural disasters often
interrupt gasoline and diesel fuel supplies, alternative fuel
vehicles and infrastructure can be valuable resources for disaster
relief and emergency response teams.
