About the Joint Office

The Joint Office of Energy and Transportation (Joint Office) supports the deployment of efficient, convenient transportation infrastructure. The Joint Office was created through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and facilitates collaboration between the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). To learn more about how the Joint Office was formed, see the Memorandum of Understanding between DOE and DOT.

Joint Office Overview

See our accomplishments to learn how the Joint Office has supported new and emerging transportation options.

The Joint Office provides support and expertise to a multitude of stakeholders and programs that seek to deploy a network of:

  • Electric vehicle (EV) chargers
  • Alternative fueling infrastructure
  • Alternative fuel transit and school buses.

The Joint Office will support the buildout of electric vehicle chargers, alternative fuel infrastructure, and alternative fuel transit and school buses by aligning resources and expertise to achieve this strategic goal through unifying guidance, technical assistance, and analysis for the following programs:

  • National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Formula Program: This DOT program provides funding for states to build out EV charging infrastructure and establish an interconnected network to facilitate data collection and reliability.
  • Charging and Fueling Infrastructure Discretionary Grant Program: This program provides funding to strategically deploy public EV charging and hydrogen, propane, and natural gas refueling infrastructure.
  • Low or No Emission Vehicle Program for Transit: This DOT program provides $5.6 billion in support of low- and no-emission transit bus deployments.
  • Clean School Bus Program: Through this program, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is providing $5 billion in support of electric school bus deployments.
