The Carbon Reduction Program was authorized under the Federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) also known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) with the purpose of reducing Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) from the nation’s transportation system. The CRP requires states to develop a Carbon Reduction Strategy (CRS) and offers formula funds for projects that reduce GHG emissions. Funds are allocated to the states based on the state’s population and further allocated to the Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPO) in the states based on the population of the state’s urban areas (UAs).
Projects utilizing CRP funds must meet the program’s eligibility requirements. The CRP guidance allows MPOs to develop a regional Carbon Reduction Program Funding Strategy (CRPFS) that supports the state CRS goals and prioritizes funding for transportation projects that are relevant to the region’s demographics and emissions reductions goals.
