The Biden-Harris Administration opened applications for the new Charging and Fuelling Infrastructure (CFI) Discretionary Grant Program to fund alternative-fuelling infrastructure, including Autogas, in communities across the country and along designated highways, interstates, and major roadways. This is a key step towards the President’s goals of reducing national greenhouse gas emissions by 50–52% by 2030, and will be implemented by the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). The new multi-billion-dollar CFI program, established by the Bipartisan Infrastructur ..read more
