• Abstract:
  Clean air is an important part of a healthy environment. Unfortunately, many industrial and transportation activities that sustain our economy can also produce air pollutant emissions as by-products, degrading our air quality. Safeguarding our air from such contamination is an important priority of the U.S. Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT), the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). The FHWA and FTA goal to reduce delays on the transportation system and to protect and enhance the natural environment and communities affected by transportation is greatly advanced by the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program (CMAQ). This brochure describes the CMAQ Program, a transportation air quality improvement program. It contains background and resource material for transportation planners, project applicants, environmental stewards and the general public. It includes information about application procedures, eligible projects and contacts for more information. 32 p.
