Background and Discussion:
The Airport Zero Emissions Vehicle (ZEV) and Infrastructure Pilot Program improves airport air quality and facilitates use of zero emissions technologies at airports. The program allows airport sponsors to use AIP funds to purchase ZEVs and to construct or modify infrastructure needed to use ZEVs.
AIP Grant 3-08-0029-063-2024 includes the purchase of an electric vehicle SUV and electric vehicle charging station.
At the August 8, 2024 ACPAA Board Meeting, Airport staff will recommend conditional approval of AIP Grant 3-08-0029-063-2024.
