Long Beach, CA – Long Beach Airport (LGB) has received a $680,851 grant from the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) Zero Emissions Vehicle and Infrastructure Pilot Program. The funding will be used to acquire six electric vehicles and two solar tree vehicle chargers.
"Long Beach Airport continues to find unique ways to integrate zero-emission technology into its operations, underscoring both LGB’s and the City’s commitment to sustainability and resilience,” said Mayor Rex Richardson. “This generous funding from the FAA is not just an investment for the present—it's ensuring a greener tomorrow.”
The federal grant, combined with $72,803 in airport revenue, will enable LGB to replace fossil-fueled vehicles with electric ones and install new solar charging stations. This project was coordinated by Long Beach Airport in partnership with the City’s Fleet Services Bureau.
