The Surface Transportation Block Grant (STBG) program is a
federal funding source that may be used for projects to preserve
and improve the conditions and performance of highways, bridges,
and public roads; pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure; and
transit capital projects. The Congestion Mitigation and Air
Quality (CMAQ) Improvement Program is a federal funding source
for transportation projects and programs to reduce congestion and
improve air quality for areas that do not meet the National Ambient
Air Quality Standards for ozone, carbon monoxide or
particulate matter (nonattainment areas) and for former
nonattainment areas that are now in compliance (maintenance
areas).
SCAG selects projects within the region for STBG/CMAQ funding by
soliciting project nominations consistent with the approved
STBG/CMAQ Program Guidelines.
Eligible applicants for STBG/CMAQ funding include SCAG cities,
counties, transit agencies, federally recognized Tribal
governments, and county transportation commissions. Each county
transportation commission is responsible for the coordination and
submission of project nominations to SCAG from eligible entities
in their respective counties. Local project sponsors should
contact their county transportation commission regarding the
project nomination process.
