SUM amats FY27 air quality

The Federal Highway Administration awarded the Ohio Department of Transportation $100,000 on May 20, 2026, under the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program (CFDA 20.268) for FY27 air quality activities. The award funds air quality improvement projects and programs in Ohio's nonattainment and maintenance areas for ozone, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter, with performance through June 30, 2028. Place of performance is Ohio. The CMAQ program provides flexible funding to states and local governments for transportation projects that reduce congestion and emissions in areas not meeting National Ambient Air Quality Standards, with each state's apportionment calculated by a ratio specified in law. States with nonattainment or maintenance areas for fine particulate matter must dedicate 25 percent of their CMAQ apportionment to PM2.5 reduction projects, prioritizing benefits to disadvantaged communities where practicable. ODOT administers this award as a pass-through entity, distributing federal highway funding to regional Metropolitan Planning Organizations, county engineers, municipal governments, and local transportation authorities across Ohio's 88 counties.
