This Compensation Plan is designed to recognize the significant contributions made by community-based organizations and individual community members participating in the NEEP Community-Driven Transportation Plan for the Northeast. This project serves communities in Vermont, New Hampshire, and Connecticut to develop community-based plans and create a replicable framework for developing, supporting, and advancing community-based clean transportation plans over the project period of April 2024 to March 2026.
NEEP and its partners will identify transportation needs and barriers in the targeted communities and will support the development of an implementation plan that will address those obstacles, integrating clean transportation components such as electric vehicles (EVs), plug-in electric vehicles, and electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE).
The Compensation Plan, as proposed in the NEEP’s Community Benefits Plan submitted to the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) Vehicle Technologies Office (VTO), seeks to establish a transparent and inclusive framework for compensating participants engaged in planned community-driven project activities. The Plan describes eligible engagement activities, compensation structures, expectations, and additional considerations for the project period.
