Clean Transportation in Action
Meet New York’s clean transportation innovators.
Showcasing New York’s Climate Innovations on the Ground
Effective climate solutions serve everyone. New York’s Clean Transportation Prizes awarded $85 million to ten winning projects in 2022 to make a difference on the ground in underserved communities throughout the State. The Clean Transportation Prize winners upgrade transportation systems to reduce air pollution, enhance electrification, and grow mobility.
New York’s winning programs are diverse and far-reaching. Three grand prizes of $10 million each were awarded to projects that address air pollution reduction at scale in underserved communities. Three grand prizes of $8 million each were awarded to projects that demonstrate electrified solutions or replacement of medium- and heavy-duty electric vehicles. Finally, four grand prizes of $7 million each were awarded to projects that demonstrate electric mobility options that address underserved communities' needs.
