Slide 13

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.
