https://scag.ca.gov/stbg-cmaq-program  

The Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) Improvement Program was established by the  1991 Federal Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) reauthorized with the  passage of Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21), and superseded by the Safe,  Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU).  Funds are directed to transportation projects and programs which contribute to the attainment or  maintenance of National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) in nonattainment or air quality  maintenance areas for ozone, carbon monoxide, or particulate matter (PM) under provisions in the  Clean Air Act (Title 42, United States Code). 

The first and foremost priority for CMAQ funds should be cost-effective clean air strategies that  implement the transportation and motor vehicle provisions of the State Implementation Plan (SIP).  For this reason, cost-effectiveness should be the primary criterion in CMAQ project selection. This  will assure that public health benefits of the CMAQ program are maximized and continuation of the  program is justified.

○ Traffic flow improvements (signal synchronization, roundabouts, congestion pricing). ○ Bicycle & pedestrian infrastructure (bike lanes, sidewalks, shared-use paths). ○ Alternative fuel & emissions reduction projects (EV chargers, diesel engine retrofits,  truck stop electrification). 

○ Freight and goods movement projects that reduce emissions (e.g., rail electrification). ● Key Requirement: 

○ Projects must contribute to air quality improvement in nonattainment or maintenance  areas. 

STBG (Surface Transportation Block Grant Program) 

● Primary Focus: 

○ Flexible transportation funding for a wide variety of projects. 

○ Improving highways, bridges, transit, pedestrian/bike infrastructure, and safety. ● Eligible Projects: 

○ Highway, road, and bridge construction/rehabilitation. 

○ Complete streets & multimodal transportation (bike lanes, pedestrian safety  improvements). 

○ Transit capital projects (bus stops, rail station improvements). 

○ Safety projects (roadway upgrades, traffic signals, ADA-compliant sidewalks). ○ Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) (smart signals, congestion management). ○ Freight movement projects (rail crossings, intermodal improvements).
