Approximately every two years, NMDOT coordinates with the state’s seven RTPOs and five MPOs on soliciting CMAQ applications. Active transportation directly replaces motor vehicle miles traveled, so these modes are effective at conserving fuel, reducing vehicle emissions, bridging the first- and last-mile gap, and improving individual and. The most current CMAQ program guide outlines the process for applying for funds, identifies eligible entities, and lists eligible projects from the NMDOT non-mandatory CMAQ apportionment and can be downloaded below. Active transportation is human-powered mobility, such as biking, walking, or rolling. Non-mandatory CMAQ funding is administered by NMDOT and is available statewide for projects and programs that improve air quality and reduce congestion. Active Transportation and Public Health One of the most efficient ways to build physical activity into a daily routine is to make the process of getting from Point A to Point B, an active one rather than passive. Mandatory CMAQ funding is made available to areas that do not meet the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for ozone, carbon monoxide, or particulate matter (for nonattainment areas) and for former nonattainment areas that are now in the early years of compliance (maintenance areas).
The Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement (CMAQ) Program provides a flexible funding source to the State and T/LPAs for transportation projects and programs that help meet the requirements of the Clean Air Act.
