Less air pollution and smelly fumes on the new Jersey Turnpike.
The state just secured a major grant from the federal EPA for $250 million to build charging stations along I-95 for electric trucks.
The grant is part of the Clean Corridor program, which also supports projects in three other states that Maryland, Delaware, and Connecticut considered the most heavily used freight corridor.
It will all build an infrastructure that enables more medium and heavy duty electric trucks to travel here.
The project includes 20 freight truck charging sites and about 450 charging ports across the states.
Transportation is the leading source of greenhouse gas pollution in New Jersey and nationwide, with diesel powered vehicles considered a major source of the pollution that's most harmful to human health.
The state's been pushing incentives to switch to electric vehicles and trucks as a way to significantly cut down on those emissions.
This is how we make progress.
Starting at the most basic level, making sure that our children, our family, our communities have clean air to breathe, that we lift up businesses like Herman who are working hard on this transition with partners like PSEG, because taking the private sector, the governmental sector, the NGO sector all together to do this work, that is how it is done.
