Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) Improvement Program

The Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) Improvement Program is a federal initiative that provides funding to transportation projects aimed at reducing traffic congestion and improving air quality. It supports initiatives such as expanding public transit, building bike lanes, and implementing traffic management systems that decrease vehicle emissions. The goal is to make travel safer, more efficient, and environmentally friendly, especially in areas that struggle with pollution and heavy traffic. By investing in smarter transportation solutions, CMAQ helps communities breathe cleaner air and ease transportation-related problems.
