Program background
The Community Access Enterprise (CAE), in partnership with the Colorado Energy Office (CEO), is soliciting applications for grant funding to support community-led mobility programs that meet unique community needs and include one or more electric 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 first Implementation phase grant funding round are now open until October 8, 2024 at 5:00 PM MT. CAE and CEO anticipate annual funding rounds for both CAMP phase grants going forward.

Program Overview (Implementation Phase)
CAMP Implementation Phase grants provide funding to cover the costs of developing and operating community-focused e-mobility programs, including electric community carshare, electric community shuttle/vanpool, community e-bike share, and others. More information about eligible costs for CAMP Implementation Phase funding is available in the application materials linked in the How to Apply section below.
CAMP projects are required to include an e-mobility component; neither EV charging infrastructure-only projects nor installation or improvements to streets, bike lanes, sidewalks, or other hard infrastructure are eligible for CAMP funding. If you are only looking to install community public charging infrastructure, we recommend applying for funding through Charge Ahead Colorado.
Program Eligibility (Implementation Phase)
The following entities are eligible to apply for CAMP grant funding:
- Local, county, and Tribal governments
- Community-based organizations (CBOs)
- Nonprofit organizations
- Schools, school districts, and universities
CAE and CEO allow and encourage partnerships with other entities. Implementation Phase projects should reflect the needs of the community.
How to apply
Please submit applications via email to edward.piersa@state.co.us no later than 5:00 PM MT on October 8, 2024.
