This morning, the US Department of Transportation announced that Maryland would be receiving $21.7 million in two separate grants.
The first is an $18.6 million grant for the state, in partnership with neighboring states, to expand its zero-emission electric vehicle charging and alternative fueling infrastructure.
The money will go toward alternative fueling stations on the I-81 and I-78 corridors.
$3.1 million will go toward reducing train-vehicle collisions and blocked railroad crossings in the state.
The bulk of the grant is going toward MDOT’s Rosedale Grade Crossing Improvements and Consolidation project.
About $150,000 will go toward the Maryland Transit Administration’s Kensington MARC Station Feasibility Study.
