Background/Analysis/Issues:

Montgomery County has requested that DVRPC amend the FFY2025 TIP for Pennsylvania by adding the Montgomery County Electric Vehicle Charging Program (MPMS #82029) into the TIP in the amount of $2,000,000 ($210,000 CRPU for the FFY26 PE Phase; $190,000 CRPU for the FFY26 FD Phase; and $1,600,000 CRPU for the FFY26 CON Phase).

Montgomery County intends to advance the design and construction of an estimated 72 electric vehicle charging stations at 14 different locations on county-owned properties including several park facilities, county service buildings, and 20 stations at trailhead parking lots. Each site will support at least four network-connected charging ports with capacity to extend service to county employees, county fleet vehicles, and the general public.

The Carbon Reduction Program is a federal-aid funding category that was established under the IIJA/BIL to provide for projects that will reduce transportation emissions. Examples of eligible projects include trails, bicycle facilities, improved access to transit, zero emission freight and cargo handling equipment, publicly available zero emission vehicle charging, intelligent transportation systems (ITS), and sidewalk facilities, among others.

Financial Constraint:

Financial constraint will be maintained by adjusting other existing TIP projects whose schedules or costs have changed. The attached fiscal constraint chart provided by PennDOT shows all of the adjustments taking place, in accordance with the TIP Memorandum of Understanding. All projects listed contribute to fiscal constraint.

Conformity Finding:

The TIP's current conformity finding will not be impacted by this amendment as this project is exempt from air quality analysis.

Cost and Source of Funds:

$2,000,000 CRPU
