The Utah Inland Port Authority and Utah Department of Environmental Quality were selected as recipients in the EPA's Clean Ports Program. With nearly $112 million in funding, Utah is gearing up to transition Salt Lake City’s Intermodal Terminal towards zero-emission operations! 🚛🚂 This initiative will bring electric drayage trucks, locomotives, cargo equipment, charging infrastructure, and solar power to our port, reducing diesel pollution and supporting cleaner, healthier air for all. 🔗 Learn more at https://buff.ly/4hDRZwX. #epa #zeroemissions #cleanenergy #utah #workforce #utahinlandport #utahdeq #airquality #UtahCleanCities

The world needs more workplaces with EV chargers. That’s why The EMPOWER Project exists. And it’s why we’ve launched a campaign to celebrate forward-thinking employers in the U.S. who are providing chargers for their employees. Workplace charging is life changing for people who can’t have a charger at home, but want to save money (and the planet) by driving electric. Our goal is to crown an EV Charging Champion–an organization that’s gone above and beyond to offer EV chargers to their employees. Whether or not you win, EVERY organization who applies will be featured on our website, promoted in social media, and sent a certificate to commemorate their success. 🙌 Nominations are accepted through December 31, 2024. APPLY HERE 👉 https://lnkd.in/gvJgaNq4 👈 Please note: to qualify, the organization needs to have installed chargers on or after April 1, 2022. PLEASE SHARE THIS POST! 🙏 Thank you to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) for funding EMPOWER and for our nearly 50 partners for bringing this project to life…  Smart Electric Power Alliance Beam Global Orlando Utilities Commission (OUC - The Reliable One) Center for Sustainable Energy (CSE) EvoCharge OpConnect Shift2Electric ICF Kimley-Horn Cadeo / Resource Innovations Atlas General Contractors - AGC Atom Power, Inc.   EnviroSpark Energy Solutions Central Oklahoma Clean Cities Clean Cities-Georgia Clean Fuels Ohio Connecticut SW Clean Cities Dallas-Fort Worth Clean Cities Drive Clean Colorado Drive Clean Indiana Wisconsin Clean Cities East Bay Clean Cities Coalition East Tennessee Clean Fuels Coalition (ETCleanFuels) Empire Clean Cities FSEC® Florida Solar Energy Center Solar Energy Center Granite State Clean Cities GREATER WASHINGTON REGION CLEAN CITIES COALITION Illinois Alliance for Clean Transportation Long Beach Clean Cities Louisiana Clean Fuels Greater Portland Council of Governments Maryland Clean Cities Michigan Clean Cities Minnesota Clean Cities New Jersey Clean Cities Coalition (NJCCC) North Dakota Clean Cities San Diego Regional Clean Cities Coalition Tulsa Clean Cities Utah Clean Cities & Communities Vermont Clean Cities Coalition Clean Cities Virginia Clean Cities West Virginia Clean Cities Wisconsin Clean Cities Yellowstone-Teton Clean Cities
