NAAPME "Community Clean Transportation Assistance" Grant Funding Program

The Nonattainment Area Air Pollution Mitigation Enterprise (NAAPME) is seeking applications for its first Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) that will support the mitigation of the environmental and health impacts of increased air pollution from motor vehicle emissions in the Denver and North Front Range Ozone Nonattainment Area.

The "Community Clean Transportation Assistance" Grant Funding Program (CCTAP) will look to support communities and other governmental entities in the nonattainment area with eligible projects that will provide demonstrated improvements to air quality in the nonattainment area. Projects funded through this program should aim to meet the business purpose of NAAPME and look to address at least one of the funding focus areas identified in the NAAPME 10-Year Plan. Additional consideration will be given to projects that support disproportionately impacted communities, as defined in Colorado Revised Statutes.
