Costa, California Delegation Calling on USDOT for $700 Million to Build Charging and Hydrogen Fueling Infrastructure Between California and Washington

WASHINGTON - Congressman Jim Costa and the California Democratic Delegation sent a letter to U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttgieg advocating for supporting a $700 million infrastructure project in California, which will alleviate air pollution and global warming emissions associated with medium- and heavy-duty vehicles.

In the letter, the members stressed that “cities and regions that will benefit from this project constitute the majority of the most polluted areas in the United States, based on the major categories of air pollution tracked by the American Lung Association.”

The members also wrote that “The West Coast Truck Charging and Fueling Corridor is an important tri-state initiative” aimed at “increasing transportation safety, decreasing emissions, and improving the local health of our constituents.”
