• GTI managed two Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ)
funded programs (late 90’s; early 2000’s) totaling over $5 million
– City of Chicago Dept. of Environment - Prime
– CNG, Propane, and E-85 Station deployments in City and surrounding municipalities
• GTI Locally Designed Stations: City of Chicago (5), Village of Oak Park,
Village of Homewood, Village of Lake Zurich, Brookfield Zoo, USF Holland (2),
Connie’s Pizza, University of Illinois at Chicago, Groot Industries (2), Forest
Preserve District of DuPage County (2), DuPage County DOT, Village of
Hodgkins, City of Evanston
• GTI’s infrastructure experience involves technical design, program
management, contracting, financial management, creating and sending
out RFP’s to major suppliers, evaluating the bids, selecting the vendors,
& oversight of equipment manufacturing, testing and installation.

Michigan to Montana (M2M) Corridor
o US DOE selected M2M Project to receive
$5M (with $5M in participant cost share) in
January 2017
o M2M alternative fuel corridor will cover I-94
from Billings, MT to Port Huron, MI.
o 60 trucks and 15 alternative fueling stations
committed
o Project started June 2017
77
o Key international trade route connecting the Great Lakes and
the Intermountain regions, covering 1,500 miles, with over 18
billion annual vehicle miles traveled
o Significant number of alternative fuel stations already exist
along I-94 corridor (i.e. 690 Level 2 EVSE, 87 DC Fast
Chargers, 36 CNG stations, 72 propane stations)
o Over a dozen national park sites and 200 truck stops
o 5 military bases
o 24 major counties
o 816 unique fleets with over 22,965 vehicles
o The population of people in the counties that are crossed by
the I-94 Corridor is over 16.8 million.
Significance of I-94 Corridor

Project Goals
o Create a competent and experienced team to guide the
creation of an alternative fuel corridor to;
Deploy selected stations and vehicles
Provide education/training to establish a sustainable alternative fuel
and advanced vehicle market
Significantly grow the availability and use of alternative fuels and
advanced vehicles in markets critical for long-term success of these
technologies
Create a15% increase in petroleum displacement within each Clean
City Coalition’s geographic area
Develop and deploy a template that can be used around the country to
help other corridors to be expanded
A competent team and well designed plan ensures the M2M
Corridor will expand beyond the end of the project term.

Michigan to Montana (M2M) Corridor
The Project Deployment Plan;
o Provides leadership through community-based
partnerships with Clean Cities Coalitions, State DOTs,
SEOs, station providers, fleets, and utilities
o Leverages and expands on existing Smart Mobility
programs in this region
o Deploys fueling stations (electric vehicle (EV) DC Fast
Chargers, CNG, and propane stations) and CNG long-
haul trucks
o Identifies and fill gaps in alternative fuel station locations
o Provides outreach, education, and training to critical
stakeholders

Outreach and Marketing
o Dedicated website to highlight lessons learned, identify key
stakeholders, document best practices and leverage existing US
DOE information
o Case studies for specific industries and community partnerships
o Marketing communications strategy to build awareness and visibility
for promoting alternative fuel use in the seven-state region
o The outreach and marketing strategy serves as a comprehensive,
coordinated, overarching approach that;
Defines key messages,
Identifies stories and spokespeople,
Build awareness, and
Integrates overall communications between the various partners participating,
including the participating Clean Cities coalitions, as well as committed project
supporters

Smart Mobility and Policies
o Leverage project team’s experience in developing operating policies
and procedures that target deployment of PEVs, AFVs, and
infrastructure
o Engage Clean Cities Coalitions’ stakeholder bases as well as
community-based stakeholders and their networks, including car
sharing programs operating within the project geography (e.g.
ZipCar, Lyft, Uber, Maven, E-Rive, Hour Car, and others).
o Create increased connectivity between fueling stations on the
corridor working with several university and local fleet Smart Mobility
programs
o Implement a website (Fresh Energy) to support connectivity of EV
users and charging station owners to their utilities as well as training
dealerships and code officials.
