*Closed* Regional Share Call for Projects (Call #3) – August 22 – October 11, 2022 (announcement)

Funding Availability:  $49,194,000 was available for this call, and consists of all available fiscal year 2025-2027 unallocated CMAQ, CRP, TA, and MMOF funding types, in addition to FY2024-2027 Surface Transportation Block Grant Funding (STBG).  Two tracks were utilized; an AQ/MM track and an STBG track.  Each track had a funding target; $21,477,000 for the AQ/MM track and $27,718,000 for the STBG track.  

Applications:  Two applications were used for this call; the STBG application and Air Quality/Multimodal application.  The questions for both applications were adopted by the DRCOG Board in January 2022.
