Exciting news! MORPC has been awarded a $15 million federal grant to expand electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure across Central Ohio. The MORE EVS project will bring charging stations to 62 locations, focusing on underserved urban and rural communities. This initiative, made possible through a partnership with Smart Columbus, City of Columbus, AEP Ohio, HNTB, and other partners, is expected to reduce CO2 emissions by more than 4,000 tons, pushing us closer to our region’s sustainability goals.
