Dear Deputy Administrator Pollack:
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce appreciates the opportunity to file comments in response to the request for information (RFI) issued by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) pertaining to electric vehicle charging programs funded by the recently enacted Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA).
The Chamber has long led the business community efforts to ensure progress toward a cleaner, stronger, and more resilient transportation system, and the historic investments provided by IIJA will do just that. Effective implementation of programs such as the Electric Vehicle Charging Program (EVCP) and Charging and Fueling Infrastructure Program (CFIP) are critical to realizing this vision.
