Alternative Fuel Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs)

The Department of Transportation’s public-private partnership office must develop and maintain a program to support the deployment of alternative fuel vehicle charging and fueling infrastructure that is supported by private financing. The department must define corridors in which bidders may propose to install electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure or hydrogen fueling stations and may update these corridors over time. Alternatively, a bidder may propose a corridor in which the bidder proposes to install EV infrastructure or hydrogen fueling stations if the department has adopted rules and guidelines for such proposals. Bidders must demonstrate that the proposed project will be valuable to drivers and will address a gap in the state’s low carbon transportation infrastructure.
