FHWA’s CMAQ Toolkit is an online collection of strategies, case studies, and reference materials that helps transportation agencies use Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) Program funds effectively. Organized by project type—such as transit improvements, travel demand management, freight and diesel strategies, bicycle and pedestrian projects, traffic flow improvements, and alternative fuels—it describes how each strategy works, its air quality and congestion benefits, typical costs, and implementation considerations. The toolkit is designed to support states, MPOs, and local governments in selecting, designing, and communicating transportation projects that reduce emissions and improve air quality.
Website for the Maryland Idle Free MD program, providing a toolkit with communications and outreach materials.
CARB’s MSEI (Mobile Source Emissions Inventory) Modeling Tools page is a hub for California’s official mobile?source emissions models—including EMFAC (on?road vehicles), OFFROAD (off?road equipment), and related utilities. These tools estimate emissions of criteria pollutants, toxics, and greenhouse gases from cars, trucks, buses, construction equipment, lawn and garden equipment, and more, and are used for SIPs, conformity, CEQA, and other regulatory and planning analyses.
Website for the Complete Streets initiative. Complete Streets approach integrates people and place in the planning, design, construction, operation, and maintenance of our transportation networks. The National Complete Streets Coalition works to ensure streets prioritize safety over speed, balance the needs of different modes, and support local land uses, economies, cultures, and natural environments.
Report on air pollution impacts from NYC Congestion Relief Zone. Provides data from real-time air quality monitoring inside and outside the zone.
Website for the DOE Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy’s vehicle idling reduction program. Includes messaging/communication and technical resources that can be used to establish local anti-idling programs.
Website tool that helps users find walking or cycling routes to reduce exposures to NO2 and PM2.5.
