FRA morpc FY 27 rideshare

The Federal Highway Administration awarded the Ohio Department of Transportation $800,000 on May 20, 2026, under the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program (CFDA 20.268) to support FY 27 rideshare activities in Ohio. The award funds projects and programs that reduce transportation-related emissions in air quality nonattainment and maintenance areas for ozone, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter. Performance runs through June 30, 2028, with all work performed in Ohio. The CMAQ program provides flexible funding to state and local governments for transportation projects meeting Clean Air Act requirements, with each state's apportionment calculated based on a ratio specified in law. States with nonattainment or maintenance areas for fine particulate matter must dedicate 25 percent of their CMAQ apportionment to projects targeting PM2.5 reductions in those areas, with priority given to disadvantaged communities or low-income populations where practicable. Funds remain available for obligation for three years after the end of the fiscal year for which they are authorized.
