FRA morpc FY 27 AQ program

The Federal Highway Administration awarded the Ohio Department of Transportation $625,000 under the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program (CMAQ, CFDA 20.268) on May 20, 2026, for the FY 27 AQ Program supporting air quality and congestion reduction projects in Ohio.

The award obligates $625,000 with a period of performance extending through June 30, 2028, and place of performance in Ohio. CMAQ funds support transportation projects and programs in areas that do not meet National Ambient Air Quality Standards for ozone, carbon monoxide, or particulate matter (nonattainment areas) and former nonattainment areas now in compliance (maintenance areas). Each state's CMAQ apportionment is calculated based on a ratio specified in law; funds are available for obligation for three years after the last day of the fiscal year in which they are authorized. The program requires states with nonattainment or maintenance areas for fine particulate matter (PM2.5) to dedicate at least 25 percent of PM2.5-attributable CMAQ apportionment to projects targeting PM2.5 reductions in those areas, with priority to benefits for disadvantaged communities or low-income populations living in or adjacent to such areas, to the extent practicable.
