Airport Zero Emissions Vehicle and Infrastructure Pilot Program

Airport Zero Emissions Vehicle and Infrastructure Pilot Program is sponsored by Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). This pilot program improves airport air quality and facilitates the use of zero-emissions technologies at airports. It allows airport sponsors to use Airport Improvement Program (AIP) funds to purchase zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) and to construct or modify infrastructure needed to use ZEVs.

While not directly for aircraft development, it supports the necessary infrastructure for zero-emission aviation.

Created in 2012, the program allows airport sponsors to use Airport Improvement Program (AIP) funds to purchase ZEVs and to construct or modify infrastructure needed to use ZEVs.

* ZEV and Infrastructure Pilot Program Brochure(PDF)**(updated March 2026)** * Summary of ZEV Airport Projects and Contacts ## Program Guidance and Application Information * Airport Zero Emissions Airport Vehicle and Infrastructure Pilot Program Technical Guidance (Version 2)(PDF) This guidance document provides details on vehicle eligibility, allowable vehicle use, eligible airports, grant funding limitations, and the application process.

Any public-use airport eligible to receive AIP grants in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS). While airports in EPA-designated nonattainment and maintenance areas are given favorable consideration the primary evaluation will be based on emissions reduction efficiencies. ### Annual Deadline for Project Proposals The annual deadline for pre-applications is _November 1_ each year.

Airports must submit pre-applications to their FAA Airports District Office (or FAA Regional Office for Regions without ADOs) by that date. Pre-applications are plain bond write-ups of no more than 3 pages with the following information: * A brief description of the proposed project, and anticipated benefits to the airport and air quality. * The airport's current status for all EPA criteria pollutants.

Status can be found in the EPA's Greenbook. * An estimate of emissions reductions for all criteria pollutants (average for each year, and cumulatively over useful life). * An estimate of the AIP funding request and local match.

* _Note:_ For the Airport ZEV Program, airports may submit the program worksheets in lieu of the emissions reduction estimates. The worksheet quickly calculates emissions reduction through simple data entry. * Program Application Worksheets (V2.
