The Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement (CMAQ) program is a federally-funded program of surface transportation improvements designed to improve air quality and mitigate congestion. The program description document contains more information on the program and the types of projects it funds.

The CMAQ Mid-Point Performance Plan summarizes the performance measure targets associated with the CMAQ program and provides an assessment of progress in reaching the two-year targets. The measures are peak hour excessive delay (PHED), non-SOV travel, and on-road mobile source emissions. The 2018 CMAQ Performance Plan is available for comparison.
