Congestion Mitigation And Air Quality Improvement Program (CMAQ) in FY2026

CMAQ Air Quality overlapping FY2026 — CFDA 20.268

The pair is Congestion Mitigation And Air Quality Improvement Program (Cmaq) × FY2026. $247,218,269.31 is the obligation aggregate for rows that carry both CFDA 20.268 and fiscal year 2026 on the yearlyTrend table. The FY2026 obligation $247,218,269.31 equals the CFDA program total of $247,218,269.31 in this extract, so this packet does not publish a leftover CMAQ Air Quality slice in another fiscal year. Correlation is not causation: the join does not prove that FY2026 caused CMAQ Air Quality activity, only that USAspending coded the two keys together. It is not an MPO ranking or a named CMAQ contractor list.

SpendingVault indexes the cell from USAspending.gov. The catalog title on the program side is CONGESTION MITIGATION AND AIR QUALITY IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (CMAQ). The year on the other side is federal fiscal year 2026. Neither label is a contractor, a place of performance, or an awarding-agency code — this packet publishes no awarding agency and no named recipients. Cite $247,218,269.31 as obligations on the CMAQ Air Quality–FY2026 pair. Two hundred twenty-two FY2026 awards on $247 million match the program-wide 222-award extract in this packet; later ingests can still restate the cell.

CFDA 20.268 as the CMAQ side

CFDA 20.268 is the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance identifier for Congestion Mitigation And Air Quality Improvement Program (Cmaq). The program-wide obligation total in this extract is $247,218,269.31 across 222 awards. That figure is a program rollup, not a second headline for the FY2026 cell unless the two amounts match. Do not treat $247,218,269.31 as cash Treasury already sent. MPO names, project titles, and emissions estimates are unpublished on this packet.

Open CFDA 20.268 at /programs/20.268/ for the program hub. That page is not this join: it can include other fiscal years if the extract lists them, and it is still obligations rather than outlays. This ties page stays on CFDA 20.268 in FY2026 only.

FY2026 as the CMAQ yearlyTrend cell

Federal fiscal year 2026 is the time key on this yearlyTrend row. The year hub FY2026 federal spending at /fiscal-years/2026/ rolls up every program that year in the index, not only CMAQ Air Quality. Reading $247,218,269.31 as all FY2026 federal obligations would over-read this cell. The join is one CFDA inside one fiscal year, not a Budget Appendix score.

222 FY2026 awards as a CFDA table, not a project census

The extract lists 222 awards on the CMAQ Air Quality × FY2026 table. That is an award-record count for this yearlyTrend cell, not a census of CMAQ projects. Unique recipients are unpublished. Modifications can add rows without naming a new organization. Dividing $247,218,269.31 by 222 is not published here as a typical award size, because the packet does not say the rows are comparable. The program-wide award count is 222, a different denominator.

Project rankings this 20.268–FY2026 join cannot support

An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $247,218,269.31 is the former. Citing it as cash already cleared on CMAQ Air Quality in FY2026 over-reads the field. The join cannot say that CMAQ Air Quality expanded in FY2026 because of a policy success metric this packet omits. Keep $247,218,269.31 labeled as Congestion Mitigation And Air Quality Improvement Program (Cmaq) obligations in fiscal year 2026.

Budget justifications, program evaluations, and press releases answer other questions. They are not the source of this cell. If a chart mixes a different CFDA with FY2026 or a different fiscal year with Congestion Mitigation And Air Quality Improvement Program (Cmaq), the chart has left this join. MPO names, project titles, and emissions estimates are unpublished on this packet.
