CMAQ/CRP Call for Projects (Summer 2025) Merced County Association of Governments (MCAG) 1 Introduction and Timeline

The Merced County Association of Governments (MCAG) is issuing a Call for Projects for the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) Program. MCAG’s seven member agencies (the cites of Atwater, Dos Palos, Gustine, Livingston, Los Banos, Merced and Merced County) and the region’s two public transit agencies (the Transit Joint Powers Authority for Merced County and Yosemite Area Regional Transportation System) may apply. There is approximately $8 million available for this call for projects.

CMAQ projects must document their emissions reductions and they must be able to meet all federal project requirements. It is important to note that even if only one phase is federally funded, the entire project and all phases must meet federal requirements. There are a number of requirements for federal projects, such as federal environmental clearance, required bidding processes, and much more. Projects must be programmed in the Federal Transportation Improvement Program (FTIP) and must obtain federal funding obligation (E-76) before bidding any federally-funded project phases and in order to be reimbursed for incurred, eligible costs.

Local agencies will work with Caltrans on implementation of projects once they are authorized and programmed by the MCAG Board. MCAG approves projects based on local scoring criteria and the information in project applications; project specific requirements and project eligibility will ultimately be determined by Caltrans on behalf of the US DOT.

Agencies may submit multiple projects. The CMAQ committee will evaluate and score the projects and make a recommendation of projects for programming. If your project was on a waiting list from the last call for projects and did not get programmed it does not carry over – you must apply again. The Governing Board is expected to consider projects for award in December 2025.

Project applications are due by 5 pm on October 24, 2025.

About CMAQ

The Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) Improvement Program is a federal funding program.

The purpose of the program is to fund transportation projects or programs that will contribute to attainment or maintenance of National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). Funding can be expended on projects to reduce ozone and particulate matter and precursor emissions – nitrogen oxides (NOx), volatile organic compounds (VOC), and particulate matter (PM).

Information about the program can be found on the US DOT website here:
https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/environment/air_quality/cmaq/

The most recent program guidance was published in 2013 and can be found here:
https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/environment/air_quality/cmaq/policy_and_guidance/2013_guidance/cmaq 2013.pdf
Eligible Projects

Some examples of eligible projects include:

CMAQ/CRP Call for Projects (Summer 2025) Merced County Association of Governments (MCAG) 2 • Traffic flow improvements (e.g. roundabout, signal synchronization, etc.); • Bicycle and pedestrian projects;
• Electric vehicle charging stations;
• Ridesharing, carpooling, and vanpooling projects/programs; and • Transit service expansion and transit capital.

Examples of ineligible projects:

• Projects that add new capacity for single-occupancy vehicles; • Maintenance and rehabilitation / reconstruction projects, including rehabilitation of existing bicycle lanes.

Cost-Effectiveness Policy

Since 2011, all San Joaquin Valley Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs), including MCAG, adopted policies for distributing at least 20% of CMAQ funds to projects that meet a cost-effectiveness threshold for emission reductions. The cost-effectiveness threshold is periodically updated and is currently $88 per pound. Projects meeting this threshold (≤ $88/lb.) will receive 20 points during application scoring. If there is a shortage of projects that meet this threshold, then the funding shortfall will remain unprogrammed and available for future/additional projects that can use those funds.

The base methodology for calculating cost-effectiveness is the 2005 ARB “Methods to Fund the Cost- Effectiveness of Funding Air Quality Projects”. This report is available here:
https://ww2.arb.ca.gov/sites/default/files/classic/stcd/CMAQ%20EFs/Cost%20Effectiveness%20Tables% 202024%20final.pdf . S inc e the methodologies are approaching twenty years old and some project types are outdated, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) updates the emissions factors every year or two. New emissions factors must be used as inputs into the methodology to calculate the cost- effectiveness of projects. The most recent emissions factors were adopted in September 2024 and are integrated into the emissions spreadsheets.

Utilizing this ARB cost-effectiveness methodology and the most current emission factor tables, staff has prepared a standardized spreadsheet for applicants to use. The result should be submitted along with the application.

Other methodology may be used for projects not included in the guidance upon review by MCAG staff. It is important that inputs into projects are reasonable and that projects can be reviewed against one another fairly. Cost-effectiveness for CMAQ projects should be expressed as dollars spent per pound of pollutant reduced. Cost-effectiveness is based on CMAQ dollars only (not total project cost).

Example Formula

Cost-Effectiveness = (Capital Recovery Factor * CMAQ Funding) / (ROG + NOx + PM2.5 + PM10)

CMAQ/CRP Call for Projects (Summer 2025) Merced County Association of Governments (MCAG) 3 Policies and Procedures for Programming CMAQ Funds
The updated Policies and Procedures were adopted by the MCAG Governing Board at the August 2024 meeting. They are available on MCAG’s CMAQ webpage: https://www.mcagov.org/218/Congestion- Mitigation-and-Air-Quality
Application Requirements
All project applications must document all of the following information:

• Project’s total cost and CMAQ cost, by phase and by year; • Engineer’s Estimate;
• Cost-effectiveness of CMAQ dollars;
• Project map/depiction;
• Project schedule;
• Proof of public vetting; and
• Assurance of timely delivery of programmed projects (via board/city council action). This must be received prior to MCAG Governing Board approval of projects on December 18, 2025. It is not required in order to submit project applications by October 24th.

Application Scoring
Staff will review and assess project applications for their completeness and CMAQ eligibility. The CMAQ Scoring Committee will evaluate and score project applications. The following scoring factors will be used to rank the project applications:

• Cost-effectiveness: 20 points
o Priority is given to Highly Cost-Effective projects (< $88/lb.) o The full 20 points will be awarded to projects that score $88/lb or better, with the following exceptions:
 There is limited funding available for PM10 projects (dust-reducing projects such as paving alleyways or road shoulders). There are a number of reasons for this.

PM10 is no longer a primary pollutant in the San Joaquin Valley air basin; great strides have been made in PM10 reduction over the last few decades and instead of being out of compliance with federal standards we are in attainment for the pollutant. Federal regulations set a floor for funding that must be directed to projects that reduce PM2.5 specifically. Also, scoring criteria by particle weight gives a disproportionate advantage to these project types.  Street sweepers with emissions calculations relying on PM10 reductions will be included in this project-type limit. Street sweepers may reduce both PM10 and PM2.5 so it is possible that they can be funded on PM2.5 emissions alone.

• Vehicle Miles Traveled Reduction: 10 points
o Reduction of Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) results in reduction of GHG emissions

• Benefits Disadvantaged Community: 10 points
o See https://calepa.ca.gov/EnvJustice/GHGInvest/
o Partial points could be awarded if:
 project location is partially in a disadvantaged community, CMAQ/CRP Call for Projects (Summer 2025) Merced County Association of Governments (MCAG) 4  if not in a disadvantaged community, but benefits to one which could be explained.

• Subjective Evaluation: 15 points
o Such considerations may include, but are not limited to: connectivity, accessibility, improving quality of life, and supportive of economic activity.

• Safety: 10 Points
o Project implements transportation safety measures to increase transportation safety for travelers such as drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians.

• Project Readiness: 10 Points
o Considerations may include, but are not limited to: Right of Way Acquisition, other sources of funding, coordination with corporate or governmental agencies, etc.

Scoring Committee
The scoring committee consists of one representative from each of the following agencies:

• City of Atwater;
• City of Dos Palos;
• City of Gustine;
• City of Livingston;
• City of Los Banos;
• City of Merced;
• County of Merced;

ATTACHEMENT A

COST- EFFECTIVENESS
The proposed project currently has budgeted $689,805 of LTF funding. The additional $410,195 will be provided by Measure V and SB1. The City will fund approximately 53.61% of the project using local funds and is requesting that approximately 46.38% of the sidewalk portion be funded through CMAQ.

The total cost of the project is $2,051,817.
• CMAQ will fund $951,817 which include the following:
o Clear & Grubbing, remove curb & gutter, existing sidewalk signs. o Install sidewalks, curb & gutter, access ramps, construct driveways, install streetlights and connect to power and portions of permits bonds & insurance, public safety, restoration, and surveying.
• City funds will fund $1,100,000 which include the following:
o Remove existing pavement.
o Install asphalt pavement, catch basins, HDPE storm drains, raise utilities to grade, remove tree, monumentation, and portions of permits bonds & insurance, public safety, restoration, and surveying.

VEHICAL MILES TRAVELED
Canal Street is a two-lane local road with dirt shoulders on the east side. Childs Avenue is also a two-lane road but is classiﬁed as a collector road with dirt shoulders on the south side.

Canal Street and Childs Avenue offset creating an unsafe intersection for pedestrians and vehicular traffic. This project will allow the City to provide a safe place for bicyclist, pedestrians and improve the ﬂow of traffic by eliminating the off-set intersections.

BENEFITS DISADVANTAGE COMMUNITY
The City of Merced is recognized as an Entitlement City under the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and qualiﬁes as a disadvantaged community based on state and federal criteria. With a diverse population and areas experiencing economic hardship, Merced faces challenges related to income inequality, limited access to resources, and infrastructure needs. These factors underscore the importance of continued investment through programs like the CMAQ grant to enhance public engagement, improve air quality, and support equitable community development across all neighborhoods.

SUBJECTIVE EVAUATION
• The project will install approximately 850 feet of sidewalk on Canal Street and approximately 950 feet on Childs Ave.
• Improved access to vital amidites to nearby health centers, schools, cemeteries, and the County Fair Grounds.
• Enhance overall walkability and promote a healthier lifestyle.

SAFETY
• This project will create a safe, dedicated passage for pedestrians and bicyclists, physically separating them from vehicular traffic to reduce the risk of collisions. • It will enhance safety for school children traveling to and from Alicia Reyes Elementary School by providing secure, accessible routes. • The project will realign Canal Street with the north segment of Canal Street, eliminating the current offset that causes long vehicle idle times and unsafe crossing conditions, improving overall traffic safety for motorists and pedestrians alike.

PROJECT READINESS
• In November 2023, the City retained our LAPM Chapter 10 vetted on-call civil engineers and hired NorthStar Engineering Group to design the Childs and Canal Infrastructure Project. The design contract is funded through Local Transportation Funds (LTF) for $134,361.34.
• To date, the 60 percent design plans have been completed and are currently under review by City staff.
• If the project receives funding, we anticipate bidding it in early Summer 2026, or as soon as the required right-of-way certiﬁcation is obtained.

Subject: Childs and Canal Roadway Construction Project in South Merced

Dear Congressman Duarte,

The Merced County Association of Governments is writing to express support for the City of Merced's proposed Childs and Canal Roadway Construction Project and urge your consideration of their funding request for $3 million.

The Childs and Canal Roadway Construction Project is a vital initiative to address critical infrastructure needs and foster sustainable development in South Merced, where food insecurity and transportation infrastructure deficiencies persist, exacerbating existing socio-economic disparities. As you may know, South Merced is classified as a food desert, severely limiting residents' access to fresh and nutritious food options. This lack of access underscores the urgency of this project, which aims to improve transportation infrastructure and facilitate the development of a much-needed shopping plaza featuring a grocery store. By providing convenient access to essential dietary staples within the community, this reconstruction project will significantly enhance the quality of life for South Merced residents and mitigate the adverse effects of food insecurity.

The infrastructure improvements included in this project will create safer routes for pedestrians, particularly children and families, to access local parks, schools, and neighborhoods, thus underscoring its commitment to prioritizing the well-being and safety of all residents. Moreover, the Childs and Canal Roadway Construction Project aligns with federal priorities by promoting sustainable growth and addressing environmental concerns, adhering to the City's Sustainable Development Plan and the South Merced Strategic Plan, seeking to create a vibrant and resilient community that caters to the needs of current and future generations.

The project's potential to attract developers, drawn by the prospect of infrastructure improvements and economic opportunities, further highlights its importance in enhancing the community's long-term prospects for success and prosperity. Please consider this project's federal nexus and support the City of Merced's funding request for $3 million. Your assistance will address pressing infrastructure needs and contribute to the long-term prosperity of not only CA-13 but also the state of California as a whole.

If you require any further information or assistance regarding this project, please do not hesitate to contact City Manager Scott McBride.

Sincerely,

Stacie Guzman
Executive Director

Brief Description: The City of Merced's $3 million federal budget request supports the transformative Childs and Canal Roadway Construction Project. This project addresses food insecurity in South Merced by enhancing transportation infrastructure and facilitating the development of a grocery store. This initiative prioritizes safety, aligns with federal priorities for sustainable growth, and promises economic development, ensuring a brighter future for South Merced and its residents.

Detailed Description: The Childs and Canal Roadway Construction Project is a transformative endeavor aimed at boosting transportation infrastructure and comb ating the prevalent issue of food insecurity within South Merced, a community burdened by its designation as a food desert. Residents in this area face significant challenges in accessing fresh produce, often needing to travel considerable distances—exceeding a mile—to reach a grocery store outside their low-income census tract. This limited access to essential dietary staples exacerbates existing socio-economic inequalities, rendering South Merced more disadvantaged than other parts of Merced.

Central to the project's objectives is reconstructing 2000 feet of roadway, complemented by critical amenities such as curbs, gutters, stormwater systems, sidewalks, access ramps, bike paths, streetlights, and controlled pedestrian street crossings. This comprehensive approach aims to enhance transportation infrastructure and lays the groundwork for developing a much-needed shopping plaza featuring a grocery store. This development addresses the critical food desert issue plaguing South Merced by providing convenient access to fresh and nutritious food options within their community.

The infrastructure improvements promise to establish safer routes for families
