Commerce Announces Request for Applications for the Electrification of Transportation Systems (ETS) Grant

Commerce is now accepting applications for a competitive grant with $10.67 million available through the Electrification of Transportation Systems (ETS) program.

The ETS program is designed to promote the continued transformation of the electric transportation market in Washington state. The program provides grants to Washington local governments and retail electric utilities for infrastructure to charge electric vehicles. An emphasis for this program is placed on addressing the needs of highly-impacted communities and vulnerable populations, particularly those disproportionately affected by climate change and pollution from transportation systems.

Applicants must be a Washington state local government, a retail electric utility serving Washington state, or any organization partnering with qualified entities. All modes of transportation qualify, and Commerce is prioritizing innovative solutions to known barriers to deploying and using charging infrastructure.

Visit the ETS webpage to find all application materials and further information on minimum qualifications and program priorities.

The ETS program is funded through Washington state’s Clean Energy Fund (CEF). The CEF funds projects that provide a public benefit to the citizens of Washington through deployment of clean energy technologies that save energy and reduce energy costs, reduce harmful air emissions, or otherwise increase energy independence for the state.
