Office of Innovative Mobility (OIM) Grants

Description of Office of Innovative Mobility Grant opportunities

About the Program

Thank you for your continued interest in the OIM Grant Program. We are proud to have been able to offer four rounds of grants for the TDM portfolio and two rounds of grants from the Electrification and Connected Vehicle portfolios since 2021. These grants have resulted in many successful projects. In recent months, OIM staff have been working to further quantify benefits from these initial efforts and continue to analyze and refine our offerings so that the OIM grants can contribute to our mission of reducing emissions and congestion through traditional and emerging technologies.

In the time since the OIM grants were implemented, the State of Colorado has added several new grant offerings via the Community Access Enterprise and the Non-Attainment Area Air Pollution Mitigation Enterprise that have a nexus to our existing OIM grant portfolio, with the Clean Fleet Enterprise also on the cusp of launching two new grant programs in calendar year 2026 that intend to directly build on the success of our electrification grants. In an effort to streamline offerings for applicants and avoid duplication of efforts with other state grant programs, we are pausing additional rounds of the OIM grants for the TDM Innovation, E-Mobility Education & Awareness and ZEV Workforce Development categories while we are analyzing where the OIM grants can fill gaps not currently being offered by these other programs, along with refining and streamlining our data collection requirements so that we can continue to demonstrate the positive impacts of these grant dollars.

For those grantees with existing awards, funding for your projects is already secured and will remain so through project completion.

For those of you interested in the TMO Seed Funding Program, we have some good news. We have already determined that this grant program has a distinct audience that is not currently being addressed by other grant programs, and we will continue to offer TMO Seed Funding via the OIM Grant Program. We have funding approved for additional grant awards under this program in calendar year 2026 and are in the process of updating some program details but expect that a new round of the TMO Seed Funding grant program will be released in Winter 2026. We will send another email when the updated application materials are available.
