Georgia CMAQ Program
Welcome to the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program (CMAQ)
The CMAQ Program provides funding assistance to areas designated as non-attainment by the EPA. Areas failing to meet the NAAQS receive funds to invest in projects that decrease transportation related air pollutants. The FHWA and FTA jointly administer this program to allocate funding to state DOTs and MPOs based upon the severity of and population within the non-attainment areas. These funds are spent on specific transportation projects that decrease emissions and improve congestion. Eligible projects range from ridesharing programs to intelligent transportation systems.
State air quality agencies, along with local MPOs select projects annually through an application process. Counties, municipalities, state agencies, and universities are permitted to submit applications. All applications are reviewed for eligibility as well as effectiveness on emissions reductions.
The current CMAQ Call for Projects was announced on August 8, 2007 and will remain open until December 21, 2007. This current Call is focused on PM2.5 beneficial projects only.
