Electric Vehicle Resources

    EV

    Electric vehicles (EVs) save money and reduce air pollution. Compared to gasoline-powered cars, EVs are more energy efficient and cost about 50 to 70% less to operate per mile. Because New York’s electricity includes clean sources, EVs reduce greenhouse gas emissions and pollutants that cause smog and acid rain. New York State is striving to be ready to accommodate 1 million plug-in electric vehicles by 2025 through Charge NY. For more information, visit the website of the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA).

    The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), enacted in November 2021, provides funding opportunities for transportation projects in the NYMTC planning area. Many of these funds are allocated through formula programs, while others are competitive, discretionary programs, including several new funding opportunities to support carbon reduction strategies, resiliency, freight, safety and more.
