CMAQ Public Fleet Conversion Grant
Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality funding or CMAQ, comes from the Federal Highway Administration through the Oklahoma Department of Transportation and is administered locally by INCOG and Tulsa Area Clean Cities. CMAQ encourages projects promoting the conversion of vehicles to alternative fuel vehicles, the purchase of original equipment manufactured (OEM) alternative fuel vehicles, and development of the alternative fuel vehicle infrastructure within the Tulsa area. CMAQ grants help ensure expansion of AFVs in the Tulsa area as well as provide incentives, visibility and recognition for public fleets adopting a clean vehicle philosophy in support of the Tulsa Area Clean Cities program. In the last five years, this program has awarded nearly $500,000 in grants to 15 area governments to purchase or convert 33 alternative fuel vehicles
The Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) Program provides a flexible funding source for state and local governments and school districts to fund transportation projects that reduce mobile source emissions. The funding provided by this program is intended to meet four primary goals:
- Stimulate additional public/private sector investment in alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs) and infrastructure.
- Further develop the Alternative Fuel Vehicle market in the INCOG region.
- Reduce dependence on foreign oil.
- Reduce air pollution from mobile source emissions, including hydrocarbons (specifically Volatile Organic Compounds or VOC), oxides of nitrogen (NOx), and carbon monoxide (CO).
