With the designation of alternative fuel corridors, FHWA is establishing a national network of alternative fueling and charging infrastructure along national highway system corridors. FHWA intends to support the expansion of this national network through a process that:
provides the opportunity for formal corridor designations on an annual basis;
ensures that corridor designations are selected based on criteria that promote the "build out" of a national network;
develops national signage and branding to help catalyze applicant and public interest;
encourages multi-State and regional cooperation and collaboration; and,
brings together a consortium of stakeholders including state agencies, utilities, alternative fuel providers, and car manufacturers to promote and advance alternative fuel corridor designations in conjunction with the Department of Energy.
Rounds 1-5 of FHWA's Alternative Fuel Corridor Designations, have included:
125 nominations received from state and local officials,
Includes portions/segments of 134 Interstates, along with 125 US highways/state roads,
