New York State invests $21 million to bolster zero-emission transportation initiatives
The New York State government has announced the launch of the Clean Mobility Program, a competitive funding initiative that aims to invest over $21 million in zero-emission mobility and transportation solutions across the state 14.
This program is designed to support demonstration projects that expand access to shared zero-emission transportation options, such as e-bikes, e-scooters, electric ride-hailing, and small-scale on-demand electric transit 1. Eligible applicants include local governments, transit operators, community-based organizations, and employers with more than 1,000 employees 1.
To be eligible, proposed projects must be scalable, community-led, create long-term affordable solutions, and be capable of continuing after initial funding 1. The projects must also meet industry and state safety standards, including UL certification for e-bikes and e-scooters 1.
A completed planning document is required for each proposal, covering community engagement and feasibility assessments 1. Applicants must also provide at least a 20% non-NYSERDA cost share 1.
The deadline for proposal submissions is September 25, 2025, at 3:00 PM EST 1. The official release of the Clean Mobility Program is available on the New York State website 1.
The Clean Mobility Program is part of New York's recent EV funding initiatives and aims to improve transportation equity and reduce pollution, with a focus on historically marginalized and underserved communities in New York State 14.
However, the program does not specify the number of projects to be funded, nor does it provide information on potential follow-up funding for successful projects or penalties for late or incomplete proposals 1. For more information on this funding opportunity, please visit the NYSERDA's website 1.
