| Abstract | The Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement (CMAQ) Program is a funding program that was most recently re-authorized in Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century. CMAQ offers a potential funding opportunity for NPS park units with existing transit systems or those thinking about implementing one. With recent changes in funding for NPS transit systems, it is important for park units to look toward alternative funding sources. CMAQ's goals of air quality improvement and congestion mitigation align well with NPS environmental and visitor experience goals. To apply for CMAQ, building local partnerships and engaging in the local planning process are important actions for NPS park units to undertake. |
