Boulder County is taking steps to help local food trucks switch to electric power by adding money to a state grant.
The goal is to encourage food truck owners to replace their gas or diesel trucks with cleaner electric models. This move supports environmental efforts to reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions in the area.
The county is contributing extra funds to boost the state’s Electric Vehicle (EV) grant program. This program offers financial help to food truck operators who want to buy or lease electric trucks.
By combining county money with the state grant, food truck owners can get better support to cover the costs of switching to electric vehicles.
Electric food trucks produce less noise and pollution, making them better for communities and the environment.
Boulder County officials hope that more food trucks will choose electric options as a result of this added funding. This effort is part of the county’s broader plan to fight climate change and promote cleaner transportation.
The grant program not only helps food trucks but also benefits customers and neighborhoods by improving air quality.
Boulder County encourages food truck businesses to apply for this funding and join the growing movement toward electric vehicles.
