The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Office of Natural Environment developed a series of tools to provide technical support and resources for the implementation of the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement (CMAQ) Program.
CMAQ project justification as well as annual reporting require the development of reliable air quality benefit estimates. Realizing that every potential project sponsor may not have the capacity for developing independent air quality benefit estimates, the FHWA has undertaken the initiative of developing a series of spreadsheet based tools to facilitate the calculation of representative air quality benefit data.
This CMAQ Emissions Calculator Toolkit is only offered as an additional resource to assist DOTs, MPOs and project sponsors in the project justification process. Agencies and individuals using a preferred methodology to generate air quality benefit information are welcome to continue their current practice. The tool kit will be released in modules by project type.
