DVRPC Opens Funding Opportunity for Projects that Reduce Congestion and Improve Air Quality

Earlier in April, DVRPC opened a competitive funding round for the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) Program for the five-county southeastern Pennsylvania part of the region, which includes Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, and Philadelphia. The FY2019 TIP for Pennsylvania has made $25 million available for the FY2019 Competitive CMAQ Program for Pennsylvania, for transportation projects that will improve air quality and reduce traffic congestion.

Examples of eligible CMAQ projects include congestion reduction and traffic flow improvements, pedestrian and bicycle projects, transportation control measures, and public education and outreach activities, and more.

CMAQ Competitive Program application forms and program guidance are available now at http://www.dvrpc.org/CMAQ. Mandatory pre-application meetings must be completed by May 31, 2019. All application materials must be submitted by June 28, 2019.
