MOT mvrpc SFY 2027 AQ program

The Federal Highway Administration awarded the Ohio Department of Transportation $440,000 through the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program (CMAQ, CFDA 20.268) on May 20, 2026, to support air quality initiatives in Ohio during state fiscal year 2027. The award obligates $440,000 and runs through June 30, 2028. Performance occurs across Ohio. CMAQ funds transportation projects and programs that reduce congestion and improve air quality in nonattainment and maintenance areas for ozone, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter. Ohio's CMAQ apportionment is calculated by a ratio specified in statute, with a 2 percent set-aside for State Planning and Research. States with nonattainment or maintenance areas for fine particulate matter must dedicate 25 percent of their PM2.5-weighted CMAQ apportionment to projects targeting PM2.5 reductions in those areas, prioritizing benefits to disadvantaged communities or low-income populations where practicable. Funds are available for obligation for three years after the fiscal year of authorization.
