Local Program Applications Public Comment – 2024

East-West Gateway (EWG) had a call for Local Program project applications for Surface Transportation Block Grant Program – Suballocated (STP-S), Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program (CMAQ), Carbon Reduction Program (CRP), and Off-System Bridge Program/Bridge Formula Program (BRO/BFP – MO only) projects. The project applications were due on February 8, 2024.

STP-S provides funding for projects to preserve and improve the conditions on any Federal-aid highway, bridge, pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure, and transit capital projects. BRO/BFP funding is available for eligible low volume bridges in Missouri. CRP provides funding to projects that reduce transportation emissions. The CMAQ program provides a funding source to for transportation projects and programs to help meet the requirements of the Clean Air Act since the St. Louis region is in non-attainment for ozone.

Illinois sponsors submitted 24 STP-S applications requesting $19.1 million in federal funds and 8 CMAQ applications requesting $6.1 million in federal funds. Missouri sponsors submitted 65 STP-S applications requesting $129.6 million in federal funds and 17 CMAQ applications requesting $44.7 million in federal funds.

EWG staff are currently evaluating the project applications and will present the evaluated projects to the Transportation Planning Committee (TPC) for funding recommendations in early May.
