Project Overview

The Clean Rural Shared Electric Mobility Project (The CRuSE Project) is an electric vehicle carshare project, led by Forth, which seeks to deploy five (5) electric vehicles and five (5) electric vehicle charging stations throughout Hood River for use by community members, City employees, and visitors. The vendor for these charging stations, OpConnect, will deliver the charging stations to the appropriate location(s) in advance of their anticipated installation.

This project is funded by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Vehicle Technologies Office and Forth, the prime recipient of the Federal Award, is now pursuing a competitive procurement process to secure a contractor to carry-out the services described in this request for proposals.
