Summary

The Clean Mobility Program (PON 5739) by NYSERDA aims to support communities in New York State by funding innovative zero-emission transportation projects. This program focuses on reducing reliance on personal vehicles and improving access to affordable transportation options, particularly in underserved areas. Eligible entities can apply for funding to demonstrate or plan various clean mobility solutions, including micromobility options and on-demand transportation services.

Overview

This is Round 2 of PON 5739 and is only for Demonstration proposals. Description The New York State Clean Mobility Program (NYSERDA PON 5739) will help communities launch/expand innovative zero-emission transportation options that can help reduce reliance on personal vehicles. The Clean Mobility Program will fund projects that will help overcome persistent transportation challenges, especially in underserved communities, and improve access to affordable zero-emission transportation options. Under this PON, Planning and Demonstration Tracks will offer technical assistance and implementation funding to local governments, transit operators, community-based organizations/non-profits, and local employers or groups of employers with a total of at least 1,000 employees in New York State (collectively referred to as “Eligible Entities”). The program is designed to maximize flexibility for projects based on where Eligible Entities are in the planning or implementation process. Eligible Entities that have completed planning studies can apply for funding to support the demonstration of innovative solutions. Eligible Entities that are still in the planning phase can apply for funding that can be used to select from a pre-qualified pool of firms to support their planning process, or work with their own planning firms and staff. Examples of clean mobility projects include micromobility (e.g. personal or shared bikes, e-bikes and e-scooters), on-demand EV ride-hailing, microtransit, shared EV options (e.g. carpooling and carsharing), mobility hubs, and community charging.
