Washington, DC – Today, Congresswoman Shontel Brown (OH-11) and the U.S. Department of Transportation – Federal Highway Administration have announced that the Northeast Ohio Areawide Coordinating Agency (NOACA) will receive $15 million in federal funding to design and build 70 electric vehicle (EV) charging stations throughout NOACA’s five-county region in Northeast Ohio, including Cuyahoga County.

“This is another win for Northeast Ohio made possible by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law,” said Congresswoman Shontel Brown. “This funding is a $15 million dollar down payment on a cleaner future in Northeast Ohio. Building EV charging stations, in our neighborhoods, region, and nationwide, will help reduce emissions, and encourage further growth, innovation, and job creation in clean transportation and clean energy technologies. I will continue to work with our state and local officials to bring federal funding to Northeast Ohio.”

NOACA is the transportation and environmental planning agency that represents state, county, city, village, and township officials in Greater Cleveland. NOACA addresses the transportation, air quality, and water quality needs of Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake, Lorain and Medina counties.
