The Secretary and the appropriate agency heads shall collaborate on an initiative, to be known as the Green Spaces, Green Vehicles Initiative , to facilitate the installation and use of zero-emissions vehicle infrastructure on covered land. The Secretary and the appropriate agency heads shall facilitate the installation and use of zero-emissions vehicle infrastructure on covered land— by entering into agreements with public, private, or nonprofit entities for the acquisition, installation, and operation, including use-fee processing and collection, on covered land of publicly accessible zero-emissions vehicle infrastructure that is directly related to the charging or fueling of a vehicle in accordance with this section; by acquiring, in coordination with the Administrator of General Services, zero-emissions vehicles, including shuttle vehicles, for the fleets of the Forest Service and the National Park Service; by providing information to the public, including by publishing a map on any relevant agency website, regarding the availability of existing and planned zero-emissions vehicle infrastructure on covered land; and by allowing for the use of charging infrastructure by employees of the Forest Service and the National Park Service to charge vehicles used by the employees in commuting to or from work.
In carrying out this section, the Secretary and the appropriate agency heads shall ensure that the installation and use of zero-emissions vehicle infrastructure on covered land— is consistent with— all rules established for the covered land on which the zero-emissions vehicle infrastructure is installed; any applicable general management plan prepared under section 100502 of title 54, United States Code, for that covered land; any applicable land and resource management plan developed under section 6 of the Forest and Rangeland Renewable Resources Planning Act of 1974 ( 16 U.S.C. 1604 ) for that covered land; and any other organizing or other document relating to the management of that covered land; and complies with all applicable laws relating to the management of the covered land.
In determining the location for zero-emissions vehicle infrastructure acquired and installed on covered land under subsection (b), the Secretary and the appropriate agency heads shall consider whether a proposed location would— support the use of zero-emissions vehicles by Federal fleets and visitors to Federal facilities; complement, to the extent feasible, alternative fueling corridor networks established under section 151 of title 23, United States Code; meet current or anticipated market demands for charging or fueling infrastructure; and enable or accelerate the construction of charging or fueling infrastructure that would be unlikely to be completed without Federal assistance.
