Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ)

Call for Projects (CFP/Call)

Please note: CMAQ is not a grant program. The role of the CMAQ CFP Committee is to determine the Federal Aid eligibility for CMAQ funding. If a project is deemed eligible by the CMAQ CFP Committee, this is not a final approval of the project. Project applicants must also work with MDOT Regions, TSCs, LAP, and all other appropriate agencies responsible in issuing approvals and permits. It is not uncommon for a project to require modifications after an eligibility determination based on the feedback of these entities.
