This guide provides the basic concepts to aid in an alternative fuel vehicle market development program developing an application for Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) Improvement Program funding. The U.S. Department of Energy's Clean Cities Program is an aggressive, forward-thinking alternative fuel vehicle (AFV) market development program. The stakeholders in any Clean Cities Program subscribe to the common philosophy that, through participation in a team-oriented coalition, steady progress can be made toward achieving the critical mass necessary to propel the AFV market into the next century. An important component in the successful implementation of the Clean Cities Program objectives is obtaining and directing funding to the capital intensive AFV market development outside of the resources currently offered by the Department of Energy. Historically, opportunities to use federal funding for AFV projects have been limited, however, the one remaining federal program that must be tapped into by Clean Cities Programs is the CMAQ Improvement Program. CMAQ is a 6-year, $6 billion federal program formed by the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA).
