Other ZEV related grant opportunities

The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) also created direct-to-user grants not managed by federal or state agencies. The aspects of these grants include a competitive program to deploy publicly accessible hydrogen, propane, natural gas and other zero emission fueling infrastructure. 

WYDOT will update this page with any grant opportunities available that are not specific to electric vehicle charging infrastructure. For EV charging infrastructure grants, visit our dedicated webpage.
