Renton will receive $4.9 million from the fed gov't to install public EV charging ports

The City of Renton will receive $4.9 million to install 244 public EV charging ports at 28 sites located at prominent destinations, in neighborhood curbsides, and in rural adjacent areas to expand access to charging infrastructure and equitably distribute benefits. The proposal aligns with President Biden’s Justice40 Initiative, ensuring at least 40% of benefits go to overburdened communities.

This is funded by the bipartisan infrastructure bill.
