The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has announced a $16 million initiative to help local communities take control of their clean energy future.
The Communities LEAP (Local Energy Action Program) pilot will be available to assist up to 36 low-income and energy-burdened communities. One main focal point is clean transportation investments. The DOE plans to work with community stakeholders to assess local transportation systems, identify transportation needs, and determine future goals.
Given the nationwide push for clean mobility options, we expect to see many places prioritizing expanded access to electric vehicle charging stations.
