• Abstract:
  The Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement (CMAQ) Program is a funding program that was most recently ; re-authorized in Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century. CMAQ offers a potential funding opportunity for NPS park units ; with existing transit systems or those thinking about implementing one. With recent changes in funding for NPS transit systems, it ; is important for park units to look toward alternative funding sources. CMAQ's goals of air quality improvement and congestion ; mitigation align well with NPS environmental and visitor experience goals. To apply for CMAQ, building local partnerships and ; engaging in the local planning process are important actions for NPS park units to undertake.
