To support the journey to sustainability, grants and funds are available for parks and recreation agencies to build charging infrastructure, conservation and climate-resiliency projects, purchase clean-power vehicles and equipment, and community health projects.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-72b4598 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"72b4598\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5><strong>New Technology in Park and Recreation<\/strong><\/h5><p>New technology is going on the market monthly to\u00a0support clean power, some of which will directly benefit parks and recreations on their electrification journey, one being large battery energy storage systems.

There may not be access to electric service where needed. If you don\u2019t have the correct charge management software, there is a chance integration may not work. The biggest difficulty might be financing initial expenses. Despite these challenges, there are plenty of opportunities to overcome the hurdles.<\/p><p>Parks and recreation agencies have a unique opportunity as neighborhood and community parks are ideal locations for public electric vehicle charging stations. This means public parks can help close the existing \u201ccharging gap\u201d across the United States. Closing the gap comes at a cost, but with states and localities playing a major role in electrification, <a href=\"https:\/\/afdc.energy.gov\/laws\">incentives are available<\/a> with more to come- a result of the federal Inflation Reduction Act passed in 2022.<\/p><p>As for integration, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.assetworks.com\/eam\/\">AssetWorks Enterprise Asset Management (EAM)<\/a> software can help with electric vehicle charging stations. EAM can be upgraded with our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.assetworks.com\/fleet\/fuelfocusev\/\">FuelFocusEV<\/a> software to provide agencies data on asset age, inspection and maintenance history, and a birds-eye view of chargers. Data collection is very important when electrifying, so having the proper integrative solution allows agencies to have asset information automatically updated for fewer errors.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1d56355 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1d56355\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h6 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">It is not if your park agency will electrify, but when.
