The Charging and Fueling Infrastructure Discretionary Grant Program (CFI Program) is a competitive grant program established by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL). The program provides $2.5 billion in two funding categories:
The goal of the CFI Program is to strategically deploy electric vehicle charging infrastructure and other alternative fueling infrastructure projects in publicly accessible locations in urban and rural communities, particularly in underserved and disadvantaged communities.
Visit the FHWA CFI Program webpage for more information, including a list of eligible applicants. Additional information can be found on the Department of Transportation’s CFI Grant Program webpage.
The CFI Program released its first Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) in March 2023, making up to $700 million available. It is expected that the next NOFO will be released this spring. KYTC encourages interested parties to visit the Federal Highway Administration’s webpage for the program and to sign up for updates at Grants.gov.
