摘要：	The CMAQ program was reauthorized in the recently enacted TEA-211. The primary purpose of the CMAQ program remains the same: to fund transportation projects and programs in nonattainment and maintenance areas which reduce transportation-related emissions. Over $8.1 billion dollars is authorized over the 6-year program (1998-2003), with annual authorization amounts increasing each year during this period. This guidance provides complete information on the CMAQ program including: Authorization levels and apportionment factors under TEA-21; Flexibility and transferability provisions available to States; Geographic area eligibility for CMAQ funds; Project eligibility information; Project selection processes; and Program oversight and reporting responsibilities. This guidance replaces all earlier CMAQ guidance documents. The TEA-21 also allows CMAQ funding to be expended in particulate matter (PM) nonattainment and maintenance areas. Congress did not intend CMAQ funding to be the only source of funds to reduce congestion and improve air quality. Other funds under the Surface Transportation Program (STP) or the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) capital assistance programs, for example, may be used for this purpose as well. Furthermore, the greatest air quality benefit will accrue not solely from Federal funds, but from a partnership of Federal, State and local efforts.
