Q&A
The Alamo Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (AAMPO)
acts as a regional forum to ensure
coordination between the public and local,
state and federal agencies regarding
transportation.
The MPO develops transportation plans,
selects and approves projects for federal
funding based on regional priorities and
administers programs to improve mobility
options and performance.

What is STBG?
Transportation
Block
Grant Program
• Federally reimbursable funding program
• Most flexible funding source
• Available for all project and program types (capacity, operational, bike/ped, transit)
• Scored using multi-factor, performance-based criteria
• Largest available fund pool
Congestion
What is CMAQ?
Mitigation &
Air
Quality ImprovementProgram
• Federally reimbursable funding program
• Supports transportation projects that generate emissions reductions
• Targets areas that aren’t meeting national air quality standards for ozone, carbon monoxide and/or particulate matter
Program
Transportation
What is TA or TAP?
Alternatives
• Funds specifically bicycle and pedestrianprojects
• A sub-allocation or “set-aside” of authorized STBG funds
• AAMPO and our partners have developed bike-pedspecific criteria for TA projects (also eligible for regular STBG and CMAQ)
• Applicants can include municipalities, counties, metropolitan transit authorities, regional mobility authorities, river authorities and school districts
• Agencies within Bexar County only eligible for CMAQ funds (non-attainment)
Eligible Entities
ImprovementProgram
CMAQ
• Allocation is by formula based on population and, for CMAQ, severity of air quality exceedance
• Contingent upon the availability of federal funding, the total amount funds available for this project call is estimated at $320M for Fiscal Years 2022 through 2028.

Proposal Scoring Criteria
• A multiagency work group will evaluate proposed emissions assumptions and technically score proposals (out of 1000 points) based on the adopted criteria
– Some projects/programs may not be able to be technically scored but will still be evaluated, rated, and possibly recommended by the working group
– Programs will be scored identically to projects to the fullest extent possible
– “Bonus” Points for Overmatch and transportation equity
• Unlike previous calls, all three MPO funding categories will be programmed in a single call
• Projects will be scored based on project type—not funding category—with projects automatically considered for all eligible sources; CMAQ will require separate documentation
• Projects will be recommended for funding based on:
– Technical score
– Agency priority
– Public input
– Project readiness

CMAQ Scoring Requirements
Entities must use the Texas Transportation Institute's (TTI) MOSERS emission calculations tool. The Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) CMAQ Emissions Calculator Toolkit may be used when a strategy is not available in MOSERS.
• Transit Bus and Fleet Expansion
• Transit Bus Retrofits and Replacement
• Carpooling and Vanpooling• Alternative Fuels and
Vehicles• Advanced Diesel
Truck/Engine Technologies• Congestion Reduction and
Traffic Flow Improvements• Idle Reduction• Bike and Pedestrian
Improvements• New Park & Ride locations
or enhancements
If emissions reductions cannot be calculated using one of the above tools, the submitting agency must estimate emissions reductions using their own methodology. All assumptions and calculations must also be submitted.
