Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality

What is CMAQ?
• Federal funding for transportation projects and programs that help improve air quality and reduce congestion.
• Projects should support efforts to meet NAAQS under the Clean Air Act in nonattainment and maintenance areas for carbon monoxide, ozone and particulate matter.
![Page 3: Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062316/5681672e550346895ddbd2c6/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
3 Elements of CMAQ
• Transportation• Emissions Reductions• Nonattainment (NA) or Maintenance (M) area
![Page 4: Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062316/5681672e550346895ddbd2c6/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
CMAQ-Eligible Areas
• CMAQ funds can be used only in areas that are either maintenance or nonattainment areas
• Maintenance-were out of compliance with NAAQS for these pollutants but now meet the standards
• Nonattainment-areas where pollution levels exceed NAAQs

Why Diesel Retrofits?• Diesel exhaust contains high levels of
PM2.5
• Diesel retrofits offer a cost-effective way to reduce emissions
• Over 45 products are available and EPA-verified for engines built between 1960 and 2006
• Diesel oxidation catalysts and diesel particulate filter retrofits cost-effectiveness ranges from $18,700 to $86,600 per ton of PM2.5 reduced
• Selective catalytic reduction systems and engine upgrade kits have a cost-effectiveness range from $1,900 to $19,000 per ton on NOx reduced
• Retrofitting class 6-8b trucks has a cost-effectiveness range of $11,100 to $69,900 per ton of PM2.5 reduced
