WEST COAST COLLABORATIVE

A public-private partnership to reduce diesel emissions

West Coast Collaborative Alternative Fuel Infrastructure Corridor Coalition

(WCC AFICC)

Medium and Heavy-Duty Alternative Fuel Infrastructure Strategic Development Plan

Washington Fact Sheet - May 2020

Project Mission

In service of the WCC's mission to reduce diesel emissions along the West Coast of North America, the
mission of the AFICC project is to accelerate the modernization of transportation corridors by deploying
alternative fuel infrastructure for medium and heavy-duty (MHD) vehicles and equipment in synergy with
other investments. 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. AFICC Project Submission Form

CALSTART Recommendations

1)	State Plans - Take the learnings from the AFICC plan and develop targeted MHD alternative
fuel infrastructure investment plans per state.

2)	Alternative Fuel Policy - Further examine state-level policy barriers to alternative fuel
infrastructure deployment and develop policies that support accelerated MHD infrastructure
project implementation, such as developing a low carbon fuel program and focusing emission
reduction efforts at the ports of Seattle and Tacoma.

3)	Communication and Outreach - Share the AFICC plan findings throughout the WCC and
with partners elsewhere in the U.S.

4)	Public Funding Assistance - WCC partners are well positioned to both fundraise for MHD
alternative fuel infrastructure development and to petition for increased public funding support.

5)	Implementation - All parties interested in developing alternative fuel infrastructure are
encouraged to leverage the information gathered through the AFICC process for purposes of
implementing the projects listed within the plan.

6)	Workforce Development - Consider workforce development opportunities that will arise
from MHD alternative fuel infrastructure development on the West Coast.

7)	Environmental Justice - MHD infrastructure development in environmental justice
communities should be prioritized where there is synergy with alternative fuel demand.

8)	Sustained Partnership - The partnerships formed between WCC AFICC partners should be
sustained, and other geographic regions are encouraged to replicate the WCC AFICC through
similar regional partnerships across the U.S.
