Performance Requirements Summary
Requirements Summary | NHPP | HSIP | CMAQ | Freight Movement | Implementation Schedule
The MAP-21 legislation integrates performance into many federal transportation programs and contains several performance elements. The FHWA -TPM team is organized to help with coordinating the alignment of MAP-21 requirements, providing guidance, and resources. To assist with this effort FHWA has provided here more information about the specific performance management requirements outlined in MAP-21. Below is more information regarding the performance requirements for the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Program (CMAQ) as established in MAP-21.
