Overview

Mission

Please see schedule o to advance the energy, economic, and environmental security of the united states by supporting local decisions to adopt practices that reduce the use of petroleum in the transportation sector.

What it reported doing in 2024

The objective of this project is to establish an electric vehicle (ev) corridor collaborative across eight states in the intermountain west region. This corridor will facilitate the seamless movement of evs and contribute to the growth of ev adoption. The project will reduce greenhouse gas emissions (ghgs) with renewable regional alternative fuels, increase the availability of charging infrastructure, improve mobility choices and accessibility for rural communities as well as technical training for those workforces, and facilitate strong partnerships among stakeholders for a more cohesive and integrated approach to clean transportation development. The project will involve organizations across the following states: Nevada, Colorado, Arizona, Utah, New Mexico, Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 86% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
