Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Program (CMAQ)The purpose of the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement (CMAQ) Program is to fund transportation projects or programs that will contribute to attainment of maintenance of national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS). Funding can be expended on projects to reduce ozone precursor emissions, (including nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOC)), carbon monoxide (CO), and particulate matter (PM) emissions or PM precursor emissions from transportation. This program will also assist in meeting the intent of SB 375, also known as the Sustainable Communities Protection Act of 2008. The Kings County Transportation Commission, acting in its role as a Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), programs CMAQ funds for Kings County. 2023 FTIP CMAQ Projects (Updated on May 23, 2023) 2021 FTIP CMAQ Projects (Updated on June 27, 2022) 2019 FTIP CMAQ Projects (Updated on August 13, 2019) 2017 FTIP CMAQ Projects (Updated on November 1, 2018) KCAG is seeking nominations for projects to be funded under the federal Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) program and the Carbon Reduction Program (CRP).

KCAG will select eligible projects for funding from prior year apportionments and new apportionments for CMAQ projects between Fiscal Years 2025-26 and 2026-27, and will select eligible projects for funding from new apportionments for CRP projects between Fiscal Years 2023-24 and 2025-26.
