Surface Transportation Program (STP) / Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program (CMAQ) Funds

Typically STP projects consist of routine maintenance, reconstruction, or new construction of roads on federal-aid roadways.

The primary purpose of the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program (CMAQ) is to fund projects and programs in air quality non attainment and maintenance areas for ozone, carbon monoxide (CO), and small particulate matter (PM-10) which reduce transportation related emissions.

Please submit completed applications and complete self-scoring sheets by 2:00 p.m. October 15, 2009 to Paul Arnold, MVRPC, One South Main St., Suite 260, Dayton, OH, 45402. When compiling an application, be sure to include all materials requested in the application along with any additional information you feel helps describe the project and its benefits. If your jurisdiction wishes to apply for more than one project, you must enclose a ranked listing of these projects according to your jurisdiction’s priority. Given the limited amount of funding available for each fund source, jurisdictions should submit no more than a total of four applications for funding. Please limit applications to projects for which you have actual local matching funds available.

Please note, MVRPC encourages the use of non-federal funds only for the Preliminary Engineering and Right-of-Way phases of projects. While STP and CMAQ funds are eligible for reimbursement for the Preliminary Engineering and Right-of-Way phases, to maximize the region’s resources the project advocate is encouraged to undertake these costs locally. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Paul Arnold at 937-223-6323.
