  • CMAQ funds projects that improve air quality and reduce congestion. Eligible project types are: Transit Improvements (transit facility, service, equipment & access to transit projects), Traffic Flow Improvements (bottleneck eliminations, intersection improvements & signal interconnect projects), Bicycle Facilities, Direct Emissions Reduction, and Demonstration projects.
  • TAP only funds bicycle facility projects, which should serve a transportation purpose and not just a recreational facility.
