July 30th update: The survey is still open, will be closed Mid-August.

The City of Lynn is partnering with the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center (MassCEC) to explore on-street electric vehicle charging solutions for residents without access to off-street parking. This initiative supports the city’s commitment to clean transportation and a greener future.

The City of Lynn has been selected to receive project implementation services as part of the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center’s (MassCEC) On-Street Charging Solutions Program. This program will promote wide-scale EV adoption across the Commonwealth by increasing access to curbside EV charging infrastructure in Massachusetts communities, with an emphasis on Environmental Justice Communities (EJC). The Program is funded through federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) investment and will run from November 2024 to December 2026.

Access to charging is a significant barrier to EV adoption for renters and residents without a dedicated garage, driveway, and/or parking space. On-Street Charging, such as pole-mounted, streetlight, or curbside charging stations, has become increasingly appealing for municipalities looking to ensure all residents have sufficient charging options. Through the On-Street Charging Solutions Program, Commonwealth Electrical Technologies (CET) and their Vendor, Leidos Engineering, will help municipalities pilot innovative On-Street Charging deployments.

As part of the community engagement effort, any support from organizations, businesses, community members and residents will be key to ensure all levels of the community are heard and their concerns are addressed.
