Noaca stop program (SFY 2027)

The Federal Highway Administration awarded the Ohio Department of Transportation $150,000 on May 20, 2026, under the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program (CFDA 20.268) to deliver technical assistance through the Signal Timing Optimization Program (STOP) for state fiscal year 2027. The STOP program provides technical assistance to Northeast Ohio agencies to improve the safe and efficient operation of priority traffic signal systems and corridors. Performance occurs in Ohio with a completion date of June 30, 2028. The CMAQ program funds transportation projects and programs in nonattainment and maintenance areas to reduce congestion and improve air quality for areas not meeting National Ambient Air Quality Standards for ozone, carbon monoxide, or particulate matter.
