SUMMARY STATEMENT:
Department of Transportation has released a Charging and Fueling Infrastructure (CFI) Grant program, funded through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, with the purpose of supporting
deployment of public alternative fueling infrastructure such as electric vehicle (EV) charging. The CFI grant allows local jurisdictions to seek funding for planning or construction
activities that “accelerate adoption of zero emissions vehicles.” The minimum grant request is $500,000 and must be matched with at least 20% local funding. In partnership with Treasure
Valley Transit (TVT), staff have developed a proposed scope of work for the grant request that totals $695,000 and is targeted to EV planning activities, including; City-wide EV Siting
Plan, EV demand forecasting, development of standards for construction of EV charging infrastructure, an update to the 2009 Downtown Parking & Needs Assessment, feasibility plans for
the transition of Transit and City vehicle fleets to electric, and proof of concept testing by installing Level 2 EV charging stations at the McCall Library and 1st Street Parking Lot,
purchase of one EV transit bus, and purchase of one AWD utility truck for Parks Dept. use and city-wide testing.
Local grant match funding ($120,000) has been requested via the FY24 Local Option Tax application process and, if funded, will be used to install public EV charging stations at the McCall
Library and 1st St. Parking lot. Additionally, TVT has pledged matching funds applicable to the purchase of the EV transit bus.
