Nonattainment Area Air Pollution Mitigation Enterprise

The Nonattainment Area Air Pollution Mitigation Enterprise (NAAPME) mitigates the environmental and health impacts of increased air pollution from motor vehicle emissions in nonattainment areas.

Community Clean Transportation Assistance Program (CCTAP)

Grant Funding available for Fiscal Year 2025


This enterprise was created within the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) to support mitigation of the environmental and health impacts of increased air pollution from motor vehicle emissions in nonattainment areas that results from the rapid and continuing growth in retail deliveries made by motor vehicles and in prearranged rides provided by transportation network companies.

NAAPME funding is for eligible projects that reduce traffic, including demand management projects that encourage alternatives to driving alone or that directly reduce air pollution, such as retrofitting of construction equipment, construction of roadside vegetation barriers, and planting trees along medians (CRS 43-4-1303).

NAAPME Plan CoverNAAPME 10-Year Plan

As required within statute, the Enterprise’s 10-Year plan outlines the business purpose of the enterprise and establishes the overall direction for the use of these funds through state fiscal year 2031-32. This plan was designed to be flexible to changes in fee collection and market conditions, community needs, and other issues that could affect the business purpose of the Enterprise.

The plan was developed with direction from the Enterprise’s Board of Directors and input from local government and the public through outreach efforts conducted by enterprise staff throughout the spring of 2022.

In addition to outlining the overall direction of the enterprise over the next ten years, this plan explains what areas of the state are in nonattainment status, the development of a preliminary spending plan for the next ten years, and outlines potential requirements for projects funded by the enterprise.

The enterprise’s Board of Directors approved an updated version of this plan on June 27, 2024. Further refinements will continue throughout its life, at the discretion of the Board.
