Intermodal Transportation Efficiency Act A Guide to the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program Remarks from the Federal Highway Administrator RODNEY E.SLATER Click HERE for graphic. The transportation community has traditionally risen to meet the challenges faced by our Nation. In the earliest stages Of our history, when our ancestors faced vast open spaces which needed to be traversed, road and railroad builders bridged those gaps and linked our country. Since then, we have established and maintained a transportation network that provides unparalleled mobility. It unites us, and it is key element in our Nation's economy. Today, as we prepare our transportation network for the 21st century, a new challenge faces us: to meet the transportation demands of the next century while improving our environment. Business, government, and the general public have become increasingly aware of the environmental ramifications of our actions. Transportation projects are especially environmentally sensitive because their impacts can last throughout the life of the facility. We in the Federal Highway Administration recognize that we can and must do everything in our power to protect and enhance our environment while providing the mobility that the American public needs. The Federal Government has taken a leading role in the protection of the environment through the passage of landmark legislation, beginning with the National Environmental Policy Act nearly a quarter century ago and continuing through the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (CAAA). Since many areas have not attained the National Ambient Air Quality Standards, the CAAA includes strict provisions to improve the country's air quality. The CAAA challenge transportation planners to find ways to reduce vehicle emissions, reduce our reliance on iii single-occupant vehicles, and make alternatives such as transit, high-occupancy vehicle lanes, bicycle and pedestrian facilities, and carpool/vanpool programs a more important part of our transportation program. The Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA), the most recent surface transportation funding bill, reflects the transportation sector's responsibility to the environment. Transportation agencies must make a commitment to programs and projects that will reduce vehicle emissions and help attain air quality standards. We must give priority to transportation control measures (TCM's), and enhance alternate forms of transportation. To that end, ISTEA established the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement (CMAQ) Program. The CMAQ program emphasizes the importance of the link between transportation and air quality, by providing $6 billion between 1992-1997 for transportation projects and programs to improve air quality. Consequently, many areas will be able to implement TCM'S, in compliance with the mandates of the CAAA, as well as other projects that reduce transportation emissions. An innovative feature of the CMAQ program is the flexibility it provides in transportation projects and programs eligible for funding. The CMAQ program is designed to provide support for traditional TCM'S, but also encourages innovation in developing new emission control strategies and technologies. Transit and traffic flow improvement projects are encompassed, as are projects such as ride-sharing, vehicle emission inspection and maintenance programs, and bicycle and pedestrian programs. Once again, the transportation community has an opportunity to play a significant role in the development of our country. The leap to environmentally safe activities is just as difficult and vital as the leap from scattered settlements to an interconnected continent was a century ago. The CMAQ program is an important tool available to planners and builders striving to make our country's new environmental vision a reality. I encourage you to read this brochure and then join in the effort to ensure a cleaner, safer quality of life for succeeding generations. iv Table of Contents Page What Is CMAQ?

The Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement (CMAQ) Program is an innovative $6 billion program established by the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA). These funds are allocated to the States which may use them for transportation control measures (TCM's) and programs designed to help States implement their transportation/air quality plans and attain the national standards for carbon monoxide, ozone and, in some cases, small particulate matter. CMAQ funding is focused on investment in air quality improvements and provides funds for projects that expand or initiate transportation services with air quality benefits. The ISTEA created flexible guidelines that allow the CMAQ Program to cut across traditional boundaries and encompass projects and programs dealing with highways, transit, and non-traditional areas, such as vehicle emission inspection and maintenance to name just a few. This brochure furnishes answers to the following important questions about CMAQ: - What are typical CMAQ projects? - How much funding is available? - How do I get started? - How can I make the most of my CMAQ funds? - What should be included in funding proposals? - Whom do I contact? Ozone (O.3) is a colorless gas associated with smog or haze conditions. Ozone is not a direct emission, but a secondary pollutant formed when precursor emissions, hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides, react in the presence of sunlight. Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless gas formed by incomplete combustion of fuel. Anywhere combustion takes place (i.e., industrial processes, home heating, etc.) high concentrations of CO can develop. Vehicles can produce up to 90 percent of CO emissions in urban areas. Small particulate matter (PM.10) is any material less than 10 microns in size. Particulate matter can be caused by wind-blown soil, dust from paved and unpaved roads, and emissions from diesel engines. Particulate matter of this size is too small to be filtered by the nose and lungs. 1 What Are Typical CMAQ Projects? CMAQ project decisions are made at the State and local level, subject to Federal guidelines on eligibility. While no two CMAQ projects are exactly alike, typical CMAQ projects have a few characteristics in common. CMAQ projects target the emissions for which the area is in nonattainment. They result from a strong planning process and contribute to tangible emission reductions within the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (CAAA) timeframes to demonstrate attainment. Typical CMAQ projects are projects or pro- grams that could be approved by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as TCM's and receive credit for emission reductions. Examples of TCM's are listed in Section 108(f) of the CAAA (see Appendix A). CMAQ projects must be coordinated through an area's metropolitan planning organization (MPO), which is the key agency for transportation planning in urbanized areas. MPO's are regional councils or associations of governments that plan and coordinate programs and activities of mutual interest to a metropolitan area. Under ISTEA and the CAAA, the MPO's have broad responsibilities in the formulation of an area's Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), including federally funded highway and transit projects and TCM'S, and State air quality implementation plans (SIP's). All projects funded under the CMAQ program must be included in the TIP, and in nonattainment areas that TIP must be in conformity with the SIR TCM's included as part of a State's air quality plans are the highest funding priority under CMAQ. CMAQ projects can generally be classified in one of the following categories: - Transit Improvements - Shared-Ride Services - Traffic Flow Improvements - Demand Management Strategies - Pedestrian and Bicycle Programs - Inspection and Maintenance Programs These categories are intended to provide a wide range of possibilities for CMAQ projects. They are not exclusive, and other activities may also 2 Click HERE for graphic. be eligible, such as the conversion of public fleets to alternative fuels (under certain conditions) and public education and outreach programs. Illustration 1 provides a break-down of CMAQ funds by these categories in FY92. The following section provides examples of some typical projects in each of these categories, an explanation of public/private/partnerships under the CMAQ, and projects excluded by the ISTEA. 3 Transit Improvements Transit improvements can improve air quality by making more or bet- ter transit services available to more people. Possible projects in this category relate to system/ service expansion for bus and rail services, operational improvements or demand/ market strategies to make transit a more attractive transportation alternative and divert riders from single occupancy vehicles (SOV's). In limited cases, operating costs for new transit services-which support new, travel demand management measures-are eligible for CMAQ funds for up to 2 years. Shared-Ride Services Shared-ride services can improve air quality by getting people who live and work in close proximity to each other out of SOV's and into high occupancy modes. Typical shared-ride projects include the establishment of vanpool or carpool programs, parking areas for people using these services, and programs to match drivers and riders. Operating costs for new shared-ride services are eligible for CMAQ funding, but with transit operational improvements, participation is limited to 2 years. Traffic Flow Improvements Eligible highway/road projects include those which improve air quality by reducing congestion without adding lane mileage. These projects can be particularly effective at reducing CO "hot spots," which are often caused by idling vehicles at congested bottlenecks. Eligible projects include signalization to improve traffic flow; traffic management/control, such as incident management and ramp metering; and improvements at intersections, such as the addition of turn lanes. The construction or dedication of high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes is also eligible project. Demand Management Strategies Demand management strategies are techniques or programs that attempt to reduce the demand for SOV travel. Demand management strategies can improve air quality by decreasing vehicle miles traveled, and vehicle trips through the implementation of alternate transportation strategies. The promotion of employee trip reduction programs, the development of transportation management plans, and the establishment of "auto-free zones" fit into the category of demand management strategies. Pedestrian and Bicycle Programs Pedestrian and bicycle programs can improve air quality by making these "zero emission" forms of transportation realistic options for more individuals. The ISTEA specifically promotes bicycle programs and makes them eligible for CMAQ funding. Possible bicycle programs are the creation of trails and storage facilities, as well as promotional activities designed to encourage bicycle commuting. Pedestrians will benefit from improved pedestrian walkways, which will encourage more trips on foot and provide access to transit or other transportation systems. 4 Inspection and Maintenance Programs Inspection and maintenance programs can improve air quality by reducing the emissions from the Nation's fleet of cars. Ten percent of the cars on the road today put out 50-60 percent of the fleet emissions. Inspection and maintenance programs can reduce emissions by detecting and repairing serious violators. CMAQ funds can be used for startup activities such as updating quality assurance software or developing mechanic training curricula. Funds can also be used for construction of "hightech" diagnostic facilities or equipment purchases in networks meeting EPA criteria. Other Projects and Programs Other projects and programs that use promising technologies and feasible approaches to reduce transportation emissions will also be considered for funding. The conversion of public fleets to alternative fueled vehicles is also an eligible project under certain conditions. Feasibility studies necessary to provide environmental documentation are eligible for CMAQ funding, although general planning studies, traffic data collection activities, and similar assessments are not. Illustration 2 shows the number of CMAQ projects funded in FY92, by category. Click HERE for graphic. 5 Public/Private Partnerships The CMAQ program allows programs established as public/ private partnerships. Funded projects must be under the primary control of a public agency or a contractual relationship must exist between the public agency and the private partner. CMAQ funds may be used for projects that are privately owned and/or operated, if the project: - Is normally a public sector responsibility, - Has been shown to be cost effective under private ownership or operation, and - Makes the State responsible for protecting the public interest and public investment inherent in the use of Federal funds. Activities mandated for the private sector by the CAAA, such as the establishment of Stage II vapor recovery nozzles on gas pumps, are not eligible for CMAQ funds. Without public sponsorship or a contractual arrangement between a public agency and a private firm, CMAQ funds cannot be directed to the private sector. NOTE: Ineligible Projects Generally, the TCM's specified in Section 108(f)(1)(A) of the CAAA of 1990 will fall under one or more of these categories, and they represent the types of projects intended by ISTEA for CMAQ funding. Projects excluded from CMAQ funding by legislation are any programs that: - Reduce emissions from extreme cold-start conditions, - Encourage the removal of pre-1980 vehicles, and - Increase road capacity for SOV's (i.e., the addition of new, general purpose lanes or the construction of new highways). The CMAQ program does not provide funds for maintenance costs incurred on existing systems, and will only fund operating expenses in limited circumstances. The focus of the program is on funding capital improvements which provide tangible improvements in air quality Because maintenance projects, by definition, preserve existing levels of service, progress toward attainment of the standards is not achieved. How Much Funding Is Available? The CMAQ Program provides approximately $1 billion annually for 6 years. Each State is guaranteed at least 0.5 percent of the annual CMAQ apportionment. The rest of the CMAQ funds are apportioned to States for areas in O.3 and CO nonattainment, based on a legislative formula specified in ISTEA. This formula takes into account the severity of the air pollution problems in each State as well as the population in areas that do not meet air quality standards for ozone. 6 Click HERE for graphic. 7 Two funding requirements apply to the CMAQ program. First, funds must be spent in a nonattainment area, if one exists within that State. Second, the money must be spent on projects which reduce O.3 precursors and CO, or in some cases PM.10, from transportation sources. If these conditions are met, CMAQ funds can be used for qualified projects that meet the eligibility criteria. The State is responsible for the distribution of CMAQ funds among multiple nonattainment areas. If a State does not have an O.3 or a CO nonattainment area, CMAQ funds may be used anywhere in the State for any activity eligible under the CMAQ or the Surface Transportation Program. In a State that has no ozone or CO nonattainment areas, CMAQ funding for projects that address PM.10 emissions is encouraged if a PM.10 nonattainment area exists within the State and the emissions are transportation-related. Under certain conditions, CMAQ funds may also be used for PM.10 projects and programs even if the State contains other ozone or CO areas. The principal conditions are that all affected MPO's must be consulted, and EPA must agree that funding such projects will not delay or detract from attainment of the ozone or CO standards. This ensures that the primary focus of the CMAQ program-reduction of ozone precursor and CO emissions-will be maintained. The Federal share for most eligible CMAQ projects is 80 percent (or 90 percent, if used on the Interstate System). In certain States with a very high proportion of federally controlled land, the Federal share can be even higher, up to 95 percent. Title 23, United States Code, specifies that activities such as traffic control signalization and commuter carpooling and vanpooling may be funded at 100 percent. Pedestrian and bicycle programs must be funded at a Federal share of 80 percent by law. The CMAQ program operates on a reimbursement basis, with funds not provided until work is completed. When CMAQ funds are obligated to a project, they become in essence a line of credit the State can draw on for reimbursement of expenses on the specified project. Under the CMAQ program, this line of credit is good for 4 years from the time it is apportioned. After 4 years, unused funds lapse and are no longer available to the program. Funds are protected from lapsing by obligation to specific projects. Once the funds are obligated to a project, the State can be reimbursed for costs incurred on that project. 8 How Do I Get Started? As with any project, a CMAQ project starts with an idea. The initiator of the idea or "Project Sponsor" is responsible for developing the formal proposal and submitting it to the State and the area's MPO. The Project Sponsor can be any organization with an idea for a transportation project to improve air quality: a transit operator, a city environmental department, a transportation management association, and a neighborhood association are just a few examples of Project Sponsors. The MPO and the State evaluate all such proposals in consultation with State and local air agencies to determine if the proposals meet the area's air quality needs and whether they should be added to the transportation plan. Subsequently, the MPO, in cooperation with the State and the transit operator, develops a priority list of CMAQ projects from the transportation plan to include in the next TIP (or TIP amendment) based on available CMAQ funding. This process will be most effective if the MPO includes air quality organizations and Click HERE for graphic. 9 other interested parties in the process (i.e., transit operators, freight carriers, local air quality agency representatives, and regional planning representatives). If possible, questions on eligibility should be resolved with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and/or the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) during the TIP development process. After the TIP is approved by the MPO and the Governor, CMAQ projects are selected for implementation from the approved TIP and are submitted to the FHWA division office and/or the FTA regional office for approval and authorization to proceed. If not already determined, the FHWA and the FTA will determine project eligibility in consultation with the EPA prior to approval. How Can I Make the Most of My CMAQ Funds? Since there are not enough CMAQ funds to support all eligible projects, it is important that State and local officials are careful to select projects that result in the greatest air quality benefits. To get the most out of CMAQ funding, State Click HERE for graphic. 10 and local officials should consider projects that are part of a comprehensive transportation management strategy and programs targeting reductions not only in emissions from commuter trips, but all vehicle trips. Too often, officials target work-related trips in air-quality programs. As a proportion of all trips, work-related trips have declined from 32 percent, in 1969, to 26 percent today. Because work-related trips make up only one quarter of the current vehicle trips, TCM's aimed only at work trips seriously limit the effectiveness of CMAQ funds. Previous efforts have focused on commuter trips, and that should be continued, but for more significant emission reductions, trips for every purpose, not just work trips, must be targeted. Therefore, CMAQ projects will have a greater impact if their focus is broad enough to encompass all vehicle trips; such as enhanced inspection and maintenance programs. Projects funded under the CMAQ Program are most effective as one piece in a comprehensive plan that might also include pricing strategies and other efforts to change regional transportation patterns. Although CMAQ funds can be effective in supplying transportation alternatives to SOV travel, the air quality impacts depend heavily on how many people take advantage of these alter- natives. When coupled with disincentives to SOV travel, such as pricing mechanisms or parking management, the use of alternative transportation is increased and air quality benefits are maximized. Isolated CMAQ projects can help improve air quality, but by using CMAQ programs as a piece of an overall plan further improvements can be realized. Unfortunately, broad-based programs and pricing strategies can be difficult to implement because they are often unpopular. However, to achieve the standards set forth in the CAAA these TCM's may eventually become a necessity 11 What Should Be Included In Funding Proposals? Funding proposals should be detailed enough to provide a clear picture of the project scope and its intended air quality benefits. In describing the project, thinking about the questions who, what, when, where, and how may be a useful starting place: - Who will undertake the project? - What does the project entail? - When will the project be initiated and completed? - Where will the project be implemented? - How much will this project reduce transportation emissions? Answering these questions will provide information about the project size, scope, and timetable. The air quality benefit analysis is an important factor in CMAQ proposals because it enables projects of vastly different scope (i.e., bike trails and subway projects) to be judged on an equal basis. The analysis should estimate the emission reductions resulting from the proposed project, and include any expected reductions in vehicle miles traveled, or number of trips, as these also provide an indication of how far the proposal will go toward improving air quality. Analyzing the impact of CMAQ projects and programs may be difficult with current analytical techniques. Nonetheless, the air quality benefits are an important basis for comparing the many types of proposals. While no specified method for quantitative analysis exists, it must be credible and based on a logical analytical procedure. If possible, a quantitative analysis should be performed, but that may not be possible for every proposal. Therefore, a qualitative analysis based on a reasoned and logical examination of how the project will decrease emissions is sometimes permitted. 12 Whom Do I Contact?
