The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) launched the Community Charging phase of the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program , continuing the Commonwealth's role as the national leader in the NEVI program. Through the Community Charging funding rounds, the Shapiro Administration will direct $100 million in federal funding to build public EV charging stations in Pennsylvania communities. "Community charging is the culmination of an extraordinary effort by the Shapiro Administration to deliver accessible EV infrastructure to PA travelers," said PennDOT Secretary Mike Carroll. "We're excited to bring EV chargers to neighborhoods around the Commonwealth." Community Charging funding will be made available by region, beginning with the southeastern region, which includes Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, and Philadelphia counties. Local transportation planning agencies will determine the specific locations/areas within the region that are prioritized for investment, but all publicly available locations within the region are eligible to apply. Approximately $34 million will be available for projects in these counties.Speakers Include:Rachel Griffin, Sustainability Director, Chester County Planning CommissionMike Carroll, Secretary of Transportation, Pennsylvania Department of TransportationJosh Maxwell, Chair, Chester County CommissionMarian D.
