What this is
The DOT Federal Highway Administration is offering competitive grants totaling $150 million (FY 2024–2026 combined funds) to support emissions reduction projects at port facilities, particularly through electrification of truck infrastructure and reduction of idling. Awards are available to a broad range of eligible entities with no fixed minimum or maximum per grant (though the range suggests up to $45 million is possible). This is a port-specific, infrastructure-focused program suited to entities with operational capacity at maritime gateways.
Who can apply
Eligibility is broad and specified in the "Additional Information on Eligibility" section (not detailed in this excerpt); applicants should be entities with operational relevance to port facilities and emissions-reduction capability. Solo founders and early-stage startups are unlikely to be primary targets; established port operators, equipment manufacturers, and transportation nonprofits are better positioned.
