Statewide transportation demand management (TDM) project (greater CT moderate portion).

The Federal Highway Administration awarded the Connecticut Department of Transportation $1,773,480 on May 4, 2026, under the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program (CMAQ, CFDA 20.268) for a statewide transportation demand management project serving the Greater Connecticut moderate portion.

The award funds a statewide transportation demand management (TDM) project covering the period July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, with ultimate completion by June 30, 2029. Work is performed in Connecticut. This award replaces a prior grant that expired June 30, 2026.

The CMAQ program provides flexible funding to state and local governments for transportation projects and programs that reduce transportation-related emissions in air quality nonattainment and maintenance areas for ozone, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter. Connecticut is subject to a 25 percent set-aside requirement for projects targeting fine particulate matter (PM2.5) reductions, with priority to benefits for disadvantaged communities or low-income populations living in or adjacent to PM2.5 nonattainment and maintenance areas, to the extent practicable. Funding is classified as a formula grant under the apportioned CMAQ program, with Connecticut's apportionment calculated based on a statutory formula. The award is structured as a child to a parent grant, indicating sub-award pass-through activity, though the source does not detail sub-recipient names or specific activities.
