Jensen Director, Office of Natural Environment Federal Highway Administration 202-366-2048 Gary.Jensen@dot.gov From: Patton, Sean (FHWA) Sent: Thursday, January 30, 2025 10:34 AM To: Biondi, Emily (FHWA) ; Jensen, Gary (FHWA) Cc: Bezio, Brian (FHWA) Subject: NEVI Qs from OST Good Morning Emily and Gary, OST-B reached out to me this morning asking for any talking points to respond to the perception that NEVI obligations have been "slow". I had a few anecdotal points from my previous interactions on the program but did not want to provide that to OST in a vacuum and wanted to make sure you were aware/agreed. Please see below and appreciate any feedback/additional points you can provide today before 1pm. Thanks!
