Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ)

Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) is a government program that funds projects aimed at reducing traffic congestion and improving air quality. This can include building better public transportation, creating bike lanes, or promoting carpooling. The goal is to cut down on vehicle emissions that pollute the air and cause health problems, especially in busy urban areas. By encouraging alternative transportation and smarter traffic management, CMAQ helps make cities cleaner, healthier places to live while easing traffic jams.
