Lincoln, Neb. — The Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT)
announces updates to its National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) plan. Updates include a
schedule for applications, information about the NEVI program and a map of the Alternative Fuel
Corridor (AFC).
Additional information will be made available as the program advances through procurement to
implementation and build out.
Schedule for Applications
With the passage of LB 1317, NDOT is taking the next step in rolling out its federally supported NEVI
program. The submittal period for applicants is tentatively expected to open in August, along with a
detailed RFP on NDOT’s website to help guide applicants through the submittal process.
About the NEVI Program
NDOT will have an amount of $30 million in federal funding made available over the course of five
years. Currently, the amount available to NDOT is approximately $17 million. NDOT plans to award
seven strategic locations along Nebraska’s Alternative Fuel Corridor (I-80) to comply with Federal
NEVI requirements. The AFC’s are required to be built out prior to investments being made on public
roads or in other publicly accessible locations. See the map below for details.
Also, states must comply with the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Standards and Requirements
(title 23 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 680).
