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.
