Safe Routes to SchoolThe SRTS program, previously within the Transportation Alternatives Set-Aside program, is made permanent within the IIJA, with funding apportioned to each state, with $1 million as the minimum apportionment. Apportionment is based on primary and secondary school enrollment numbers. Projects eligible for the SRTS program include active transportation and complete streets projects and education/enforcement activities that facilitate the enhanced ability of students to walk and bike to school.

Carbon Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program (CMAQ)The CMAQ program is a formula program that is funded at roughly $2.5 billion per year nationally within the IIJA. This funding is apportioned to the metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) to administer. The program focuses on projects aimed at improving air quality, including eligibility for active transportation and complete streets projects. Projects will need to be included in an MPO’s Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) to be eligible for CMAQ funding. In addition to active transportation investments, micro mobility projects, purchase of medium/heavy-duty ZEVs & related charging equipment are now eligible for CMAQ funding. Also rail/transit operating assistance in association with certain CMAQ projects.

For areas with populations over 200k, the MPO provides administration of program funding for eligible projects, that can include planning, designing, and building on and off-road active transportation facilities and improvements to the roadway right-of-way to facilitate reductions in transportation emissions and congestion.Carbon Reduction Program guidance, fact sheet and announcement
