Creating an EV EcosystemMid-Atlantic Electrification Partnership
This project will create a regional electric vehicle (EV) ecosystem in Virginia, the District of Columbia, Maryland and West Virginia. The ecosystem project will connect the Mid-Atlantic Region’s cities, employing multiple EV and infrastructure sub-projects, including multimodal hubs, such as airports, seaports and logistics centers. It will also address educational, planning and equity issues of populations near these hubs. Starting in 2020, the project will run through 2023.

Bridging the Gap between Clean Fuels and Public TransportationDC Circulator Bus System
The Electric Circulator Bus project is a pilot run by the District Department of Transportation (DDOT). Between 2015 and 2018 the Circulator fleet upgraded to all new buses including state-of-the-art 100% electric vehicles. In 2018 DDOT implemented major changes to better align limited resources while providing transit access to growing activity centers.
This is an ongoing project with additional buses approved for 2021.
