DRIVE Across America Act of 2026

This bill would create the Cleaner TRAILS Initiative, under which the Forest Service and National Park Service would plan and install charging and fueling stations for zero-emission vehicles on their lands and on nearby partner land within 25 miles. The agencies would write and update a strategy, buy zero-emission vehicles for their fleets and shuttles, may charge user fees, and would report to Congress each year. It would authorize $100 million per year for each agency from 2027 through 2031. It would also reserve 10 percent of a federal charging grant program for projects near airports and travel and tourism sites, and remove the 2025 end date for a federal provision on certain low-emission vehicles in carpool (HOV) lanes.
