This exciting initiative offers grassroots organizations, nonprofits, and community leaders the chance to apply for funding to support innovative electric mobility projects in underserved communities throughout the Greater Houston area.
The eMobility Microgrants are designed to accelerate the adoption of electric transportation solutions that reduce emissions, improve air quality, and enhance mobility equity for low-income, minority, and frontline communities. This funding can support a range of projects, including increasing access to electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure, promoting micromobility options like e-bikes, and educating communities about the benefits of clean transportation.
Why should you apply? If you're working to improve access to clean transportation, promote EV awareness, or create workforce development opportunities related to eMobility, this is a perfect opportunity to secure funding for your efforts. The grants provide not only financial support but also the chance to contribute to Houston's sustainability goals and help bridge the transportation equity gap in historically underserved neighborhoods.
