Environmental Enhancement and Mitigation Grant Program Environmental Enhancement and Mitigation Grant Program About the Environmental Enhancement and Mitigation Grant Program The Environmental Enhancement and Mitigation Grant Program was created by California Streets and Highways Code Section 164. 56, which authorizes the legislature to allocate up to $6.
7 million each fiscal year from the Environmental Enhancement and Mitigation (EEM) Program Fund for projects that are directly or indirectly related to the environmental impacts of modifying existing transportation facilities, or for the design, construction, or expansion of new transportation facilities.
Examples of transportation facilities include, but are not limited to, city streets, highways, trains, ports, airports, light rail lines, mass transit stations, park and ride facilities, and high-occupancy vehicle lanes. The California Natural Resources Agency (CNRA) develops procedures and criteria to evaluate grant project proposals and recommends projects for funding to the California Transportation Commission (CTC).
The CTC annually awards grants to projects from CNRA's list. EEM projects must mitigate, either directly or indirectly, the environmental impacts caused by construction of a new transportation facility or the modification of an existing transportation facility.
Examples of transportation facilities include, but are not limited to, city streets, highways, trains, ports, airports, light rail lines, mass transit stations, park and ride facilities, and high-occupancy vehicle lanes. In the EEM Grant Program, a transportation project used as the basis for the EEM project is referred to as a “Related Transportation Facility” or “RTF”.
