ISSUE BRIEF: Texas’ Clean Truck Opportunity
CHARGE commissioned a report finding that the state must not squander the opportunity to sieve clean trucking funding from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) and the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).
Texas still has time to take advantage of unprecedented federal investment to help speed the transition of its massive fleet of more than 600,000 medium and heavy-duty (MDHD) trucks to zero-emission technologies that will save lives, according to a newly released issue brief from Atlas Public Policy and commissioned by CHARGE. To date, Texas has awarded very little public funding for clean MDHD trucks, but the IIJA and IRA programs and tax credits have nearly $40 billion available for clean MDHD vehicle deployment in the state.
This is the first in a series of several state briefs that will be released over the coming months.
