Reliability and Accessibility Accelerator (RAA) Program
The Reliability and Accessibility Accelerator (RAA) Program will advance Illinois’ goal of one million electric vehicles (EV) on the road by 2030 and will provide the necessary infrastructure to support rising EV sales. In January 2024, the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) was awarded $7.1 million in RAA funds from Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to repair or replace 76 EV chargers that were non-operational as of October 12, 2023. IDOT sent letters and emails to site owners in August/September 2024 to inform them that their sites could be eligible for federal funds to repair or replace EV chargers. A complete list of locations where chargers will be repaired or replaced can be accessed by clicking here.
IDOT hosted a participation briefing kick-off webinar on August 27th, 2024. The audio from that webinar can be found here, and the presentation slides from that same webinar can be found here.
IDOT will be releasing a Notice of Funding Opportunity for the 76 sites that were identified in IDOT’s RAA application in the near future.
