Here are the current incentives and initiatives in Missouri area related to zero-emission or low-emission vehicles for commercial fleet operators, as of 2024:

1. Climate and Air - City of St. Louis, MO: The City of St. Louis is actively transitioning its municipal fleet to electric vehicles (EVs) using the Volkswagen Trust Settlement funds. This includes acquiring Chevy Bolts and installing public EV charging stations at various locations including City Hall and St. Louis Lambert Airport. Additionally, the city has signed executive orders to prioritize the procurement of clean vehicles for its fleet and introduced ordinances to enhance EV charging infrastructure readiness in private and public settings.
2. Gateway Vehicle Inspection Program - Missouri: The Gateway Vehicle Inspection Program aims to improve air quality in the St. Louis region through emissions testing for vehicles registered in St. Louis City and surrounding counties. While this program is primarily for emissions compliance, it indirectly supports the adoption of cleaner vehicles by enforcing standards that older, higher-emission vehicles may not meet.
3. U.S. State Clean Vehicle Policies and Incentives - Center for Climate and Energy Solutions: Offers a broad overview of the types of policies and incentives adopted by states, including Missouri, to promote the use of low-emission and zero-emission vehicles. This encompasses a range of strategies from emissions standards to financial incentives for purchasing cleaner vehicles and building alternative fuel infrastructure.
4. February 2024 Open Funding Opportunities for Electric Vehicles and Charging Equipment - Washington State Department of Commerce: Details various federal funding opportunities available in 2024 that St. Louis commercial fleet operators might be eligible for, such as grants for the replacement of diesel transit buses with fuel cell-powered buses, electric yard trucks, and the installation of EV charging infrastructure.

These initiatives and funding opportunities represent significant steps towards reducing vehicle emissions and promoting the adoption of cleaner transportation technologies in the St. Louis region. Fleet operators interested in taking advantage of these opportunities should explore these resources further for detailed information on eligibility and application processes.
