Business Wire
AECOM (NYSE: ACM), the world’s trusted infrastructure consulting
firm, announced today it has been selected by the Arizona
Department of Transportation (ADOT) Multimodal Planning Division to
develop a plan for the statewide deployment of electric vehicle
(EV) charging stations, which will demonstrate how ADOT can deploy
EV charging stations adjacent to state alternative fuel corridors
and interstates and will comply with Federal National Electric
Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) guidance. The development of an EV
infrastructure deployment plan will also educate the public, with
the goal of reducing range anxiety and encouraging vehicle
purchasers to consider EVs as a viable alternative to gasoline or
diesel-powered vehicles.
“With the creation of the Joint Office of Energy and
Transportation, there is an immense opportunity to transform how
mobility is addressed within our communities,” said Jennifer
Aument, chief executive of AECOM’s global Transportation business.
“As a leader in emerging electrification technologies, we’re
intimately familiar with NEVI guidance and have a deep bench of
capabilities to support our clients as they navigate the
transportation-energy nexus. We look forward to partnering with
ADOT to deliver a data-driven, strategic plan for the siting of EV
chargers and assisting the state in receiving significant benefits
from federal funding sources.”
In addition to delivering an EV infrastructure deployment plan,
AECOM’s scope is expected to include project management to support
goals and objectives; stakeholder engagement and outreach to help
the public understand opportunities and capture feedback; existing
and future conditions analysis, including charging demand and grid
capacity assessment; support and guidance for future EV charging
infrastructure deployment, including siting and charging location
cost analysis; and federal funding compliance, such as NEVI
guidance.
“Transportation electrification is key to improving
environmental and public health while bolstering transit mobility,
parity, and sustainability. Our team of experts, who reflect
nationwide best practices and local experience, are thrilled to
support Arizona’s deployment of a convenient, affordable, reliable,
and equitable EV network in this capacity,” said Travis Boone,
chief executive of AECOM’s U.S. West region. “In line with our
Sustainable Legacies strategy, we’re proud to work with clients
such as ADOT to help them achieve their electrification goals and
are excited to partner with the Multimodal Planning Division to
execute a successful and expediated EV infrastructure deployment
plan.”
AECOM is committed to delivering transformative environmental,
social, and governance objectives through its Sustainable Legacies
strategy, so that the work it does in partnership with its clients
leaves a positive impact for years to come.
