The Joint Office celebrates the opening of Utah’s first National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Program-funded electric vehicle (EV) charging station.
A new Joint Office case study demonstrates how transit fleets like New York City’s MTA are committed to retiring fossil-fuel-powered buses for electric buses. Learn how the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) is helping MTA transition all 5,800 of its buses to zero emissions by 2040.
The Joint Office is charged with making it easy for anyone to ride and drive electric. See how we’ve worked with government agencies, communities, the private sector, and EV drivers to build out convenient, reliable infrastructure to support zero-emission transportation.

In March 2024, the Joint Office released the National Zero-Emission Freight Corridor Strategy, setting an actionable vision and comprehensive approach to accelerating the deployment of a world-class, zero-emission freight network in the U.S. Developed by the Joint Office and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), in collaboration with the Department of Transportation (DOT), and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the strategy aims to help align, unlock, and unleash cross-sector investments in zero-emission medium- and heavy-duty vehicle (ZE-MHDV) infrastructure and bolster electric grid and hydrogen planning needed to achieve a zero-emission freight network by 2040.
-
A walkthrough of the strategy from its original architects.
-
Data that informed the strategy development.
-
Industry commitments and key milestones toward corridor buildout.
-
Input on the strategy to shape future phases.
This webinar focused on the landscape of rural utilities in transportation electrification, best practices and strategies for building EV charging infrastructure, and how to plan for future transportation needs.
Upcoming Events
Joint Office leadership will be attending the 2024 U.S. Department of Transportation’s Transportation and Climate Symposium, in Washington, D.C. on July 11-12.
