The Community Access Enterprise (CAE), in partnership with the Colorado Energy Office (CEO), requests grant applications for community-led mobility programs. To receive funding, proposed programs must meet unique community needs and include an electric mobility (e-mobility) component(s). Electric mobility refers to any type of transportation that relies partially or completely on electricity to power it.
The Community Accelerated Mobility Project (CAMP) offers two phases of grant funding:
- Technical Readiness Planning Phase
- Implementation Phase
A Technical Readiness Planning Phase grant is not required to apply for Implementation Phase funding. A Technical Readiness Planning Phase award also does not guarantee an Implementation Phase award.
Applications for the next Technical Readiness Planning Phase grant funding round are now open until January 10, 2025. Please see the “How to Apply” section below for additional information.
CAE and CEO anticipate annual funding rounds for both CAMP phase grants moving forward.
