Public-private collaboration to plan projects, leverage funding, and construct modernized corridors with alternative fuel infrastructure will create jobs, increase domestic fuel supply diversity, reduce emissions, improve public health, and support more robust MHD fleet operations. Project Summary The WCC AFICC seeks stakeholder input on investment needs for plug-in electric (EV), hydrogen (Fb), propane (LPG), compressed natural gas and liquefied natural gas (CNG and LNG) fueling infrastructure for MHD vehicles and equipment operating on the West Coast of the United States (U.S.). The WCC AFICC commissioned CALSTART's Medium and Heavy-Duty Alternative Fuel Infrastructure Strategic Development Plan to help identify infrastructure gaps, evaluate project implementation readiness, and highlight near-term investments needed to support MHD alternative fuel vehicle and equipment deployment. The AFICC planning process was informed by fleets, equipment users, fuel providers and other WCC Partners who participated in the AFICC's 2016-2019 alternative fuel infrastructure needs assessment for MHD fleet operations in California, Oregon, and Washington. Download the plan and related materials at https://westcoastcollaborative.org/workgroup/wkgrp-fuels.htm Key Washington Findings 1) Proposed Stations - This plan includes 23 proposed Washington stations of various size, throughput, and level of construction for targeted MHD alternative fuel technologies. 2) Development Cost - CALSTART estimates a total capital expense (CAPEX) of approximately $58.400.000 to fund the development of the plan's 23 proposed alternative fuel stations, assuming they all were newly constructed with average throughput and size levels, and capable of accommodating Class 5+ on-highway vehicles >16,001 lbs (see tables on page two). 3) Cost-Share Needs - 77% of all proposals received by the WCC AFICC would be viable for development with external funding assistance up to 80% of project CAPEX. Next Steps The plan can be referenced by stakeholders to support participation in eligible funding opportunities. The WCC AFICC believes that the proposals listed in the plan cover a small percentage of the demand for MHD alternative fuel infrastructure on the West Coast, and it welcomes feedback on additional infrastructure needs not reflected in the plan document. The WCC intends to create an AFICC submission form to solicit additional MHD-accessible EV, H2, LPG, CNG and/or LNG infrastructure project proposals (e.g., Class 5+ on-highway vehicles >16,001 lbs, locomotives, marine vessels, and other heavy-duty nonroad equipment) from WCC Partners seeking funding assistance and partnerships to support implementation elsewhere in the WCC states and territories, including: Alaska, Arizona, California, Hawaii, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, Tribal Lands, and the U.S. Pacific Island Territories: American Samoa, Guam, and Northern Mariana Islands.
