Background
The Nonattainment Area Air Pollution Mitigation Enterprise (NAAPME) is seeking applications for is
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. This funding opportunity 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.
Program Goals
Support projects in the nonattainment area, either entirely or partially, that will provide
demonstrable reduction in air pollution and encourage alternatives to single -occupancy
motor vehicle travel.
Fund projects that support disproportionately impacted communities and that support the
business purpose of the enterprise.
Support projects that can help achieve neighborhood connectivity and provide transportation
choice.

NAAPME "Community Clean Transportation Assistance" Grant Funding Program
Nonattainment Area Air Pollution Mitigation Enterprise (NAAPME)
NAAPME's business purpose is to mitigate the environmental and health impacts of increased air
pollution from motor vehicle emissions in nonattainment areas. Notable factors in this increased air
pollution include rapid and continuing growth in both retail deliveries made by motor vehicles and
prearranged rides provided by transportation network companies.
Funding will go to eligible projects that help reduce motor vehicle 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). (C.R.S. 43-4-1303).
NAAPME has identified the following funding focus areas:
Sustainably Reduce Traffic Congestion
Reducing traffic congestion is one of the key provisions within the enterprise's purpose. However,
to fulfill the objectives of other funding focus areas, this must be done in a sustainable manner.
Within this funding category, the enterprise will focus on projects that provide alternatives to
single occupancy travel including transit services, active transportation alternatives, and carpool
alternatives, as well as roadway operations improvements that sustainably reduce congestion, such
as traffic incident management. Examples include:
Expanding interregional transit services, like Bustang;
Development and expansion of bus rapid transit services;
Construction of Mobility Hubs, destinations for transit services that connect interregional and
local services, including first -£t -last miles services, electric vehicle charging, and bike parking;
New and expanded sidewalks and bike paths; and
New and expanded vanpool, carpool, and other services for commuter travel.
Reduce Environmental Et Health Impacts of Transportation
Transportation is a primary contributor to ozone pollution, and the largest contributor of GHG
emissions in both Colorado and nationwide. This funding focus area is for reducing impacts from
the construction and ongoing operation of transportation projects. Examples include:
• Measures that would reduce the impact of large highway construction projects;
• Retrofitting construction equipment for highway projects;
• Air quality monitoring for larger highway construction projects; and
• Roadside vegetation barriers.
Improve Neighborhood Connectivity of Communities Adjacent to Highways
This focus area is for funding mitigation measures that help reconnect communities and provide
multimodal options to move along and across large urban corridors. Examples include:
• More sidewalks and bike paths along major corridors and local roads;
• Safer bike and pedestrian connectivity along busy urban streets; and
• Projects that reduce traffic speeds along busy urban streets.

Criteria Explanation:
NAAPME will use the following criteria to evaluate these applications:
• Project Sponsors provide reported amounts of emissions benefit reductions expected
with completion of the proposed project, measured in kilograms per day (kg/day).
The primary business purpose of the Nonattainment enterprise is to support mitigation of the
environmental and health impacts of increased air pollution from motor vehicle emissions in
nonattainment areas.
• If the project is located within or supports a transportation need within a
disproportionately impacted community as outlined in state statute.
The NAAPME Board is particularly interested in having enterprise projects benefit
disproportionately impacted communities in nonattainment areas, especially since these
impacts usually include increased pollution exposure.
• An articulation to what degree the project would improve economic opportunities for
individuals in disproportionately impacted communities.
In addition to mitigating pollution in these communities, the NAAPME Board wants to ensure
that these projects promote economic development in them.
• Project Sponsors provide documented outreach to disproportionately impacted
communities and how the project would help address identified needs and/or issues.
The NAAPME Board wants to make sure those living within a community are aware of, can
contribute to, and can directly benefit from a project in that community.
• How the project meets the business purpose of the enterprise and its three funding
focus areas and/or the objectives outlined with the specific Enterprise funding program.
Projects should 1) sustainably reduce traffic congestion, 2) reduce the environmental and
health impacts of transportation, 3) improve neighborhood connectivity for communities
adjacent to highways, and/or meet other goals for that program.
• Documented commitment for long-term maintenance of infrastructure projects.
Projects must not only be completed, but also maintained for long-term use.
• If the project is a part of, or is a portion of a project that was prioritized in an MPO
Regional Transportation Plan (in MPO areas) and/or the CDOT 10 -Year Plan (rural areas)
or local government strategic transportation plan.
Projects have more local/regional support when they already appear in these plans.

Appendix B: Colorado EnviroScreen
The NAAPME Board has placed additional emphasis on funding projects that will mitigate
transportation pollution in disproportionately impacted (DI) communities. There are different ways
to determine these communities, but the currently -preferred method is Colorado Enviroscreen.
Colorado EnviroScreen is an interactive environmental justice mapping tool and health screening
tool for Colorado.lt was developed for the Colorado Department of Public Health and
Environment(CDPHE) by a team from Colorado State University (CSU).
Colorado EnviroScreen includes the following capabilities:
Identifies areas with current and past environmental inequities.
Pinpoints areas where disproportionately impacted communities have a greater health
burden and/or face more environmental risks.
Identify geographic areas that meet the definition of "disproportionately impacted
communities" under Colorado law (introduced as House Bill 23-1233,
and enacted as C.R.S. § 24-4-109(2)(b)(II)).
Colorado EnviroScreen is intended for the following uses:
• Help users advocate for funding, interventions, and policy changes to avoid, lessen, and
mitigate environmental health risks.
• Advance a healthy and sustainable Colorado where everyone has the same degree of
protection from environmental and health hazards.

De minimis rate: As described in 23 U.S.C § 200.403, costs must be consistently charged
as either indirect or direct costs, but may not be double charged or inconsistently
charged as both. If chosen, this methodology once elected must be used consistently for
all Federal awards until such time as a subrecipient chooses to negotiate for an individual
rate, which a subrecipient may apply to do at any time.

Part 4: Grant Funds Project Narrative
Provide qualitative and quantitative responses to the following questions.
1. Emissions Reductions (25%): How much would this project reduce ozone -precursor
emissions (in kg/day)? Summarize and attach any models or estimates you may have.
The CMAQ Emissions Calculator Toolkit Traffic Flow Improvements for roundabouts was used for project. You can
see the specific data input and outputs on the attached report. In summary, the emissions reductions in kg/day are:
Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide (CO2) - 7.561
Carbon Dioxide Equivalent (CO2e) - 7.650
Total Energy Consumption (MMBTU) - 0.099
These air quality improvements are the result of the roundabout delay reduction being improved by 2.5 hours.
2. Disproportionately Impacted (Dl) Communities (25%)
a. Is this project in or supports a DI Community (per state statute)? ®Yes 0 No
How to answer this question: Please find the project location on the EnviroScreen map.
Guidance regarding how to use the tool is here: EnviroScreen Tool Directions.
Please include a screenshot of the results from the EnviroScreen Tool.
b. Whether or not the project is in a DI Community, how will this project support and
benefit disadvantaged populations? Include a description of the disadvantaged
populations and why they are considered disadvantaged.
Due to the large census tract geography where this project is located, it makes it difficult for the EnviroScreen report to accurately reflect
the demographics of this specific location. The EnviroScreen Report percentile score for this area was 45.76. Yet, the EnviorScreen Map
Tool scored this locator 56.8 because this area meets the DI criteria for populations with low income. Please see the attached reports.
c. What outreach was done to engage this community?
There have been many opportunities for public engagement and outreach for this project. Not only through the Upper Front Range TPR
public meetings, the SH 52 Coalition public meetings or general CDOT 10 year plan meetings and Weld County's 4P meetings. Weld
County is in the process of developing an Environmental Justice Plan and will be conducting more public meetings in March.
d. To what degree would this project improve economic opportunities in this community?
Improving the safety and free flow of traffic at this location will help the economic movement of people and goods. CO
52 is one of the most oversize/overweight permitted truck routes in the state. It is very much used as an economic driver
for carrying goods and people across the region.
3. NAAPME Focus (15%)
Describe how this project meets the business purpose of the Nonattainment Enterprise and
its funding focus area:
The CO 52 and WCR 59 RAB projects meets all three funding focus area purposes for the
NAAPME Enterprise. This roundabout will sustainably reduce traffic congestion by improving the
free flow of traffic and decreasing vehicle emissions by lowering the number of idling vehicles.
Thereby the air quality benefits will in turn meet the second focus area of reducing the
environmental and health impacts of transportation. Lastly, this project meets the intent of the third
funding focus area by improving the neighborhood connectivity for communities adjacent to
highways, since the Weld Central Middle School and High School campuses are located at the
southwest corner of this project, these improvements will improve the mobility, safety, and
connectivity of the Keenesburg community to the schools so the highway is no longer a barrier to
them.

4. Project Integration (15%)
Has this project been prioritized in an approved transportation improvement plan identified
in state and/or local statute, e.g.:
the State of Colorado's 10 -Year Vision Plan,
the Statewide Transportation Improvement Plan (STIP),
a Metropolitan Planning Organization Regional Transportation Plan (RTP),
a Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP),
a City and/or County Local Transportation Plan,
or other applicable mid-term to long-term transportation plan(s)?
Yes, this project is identified in CDOT's 10 -Year Plan ($7.6M FY23-26). The Upper Front Range 2045 Plan, and
Weld County's 2045 Transportation Plan.
5. Safety (5%)
Describe how this project would improve the safety of the traveling public,
especially vulnerable road users.
This project includes widening the intersection by adding sidewalk, pedestrian crossings, and ADA compliant ramps around the roundabout.
In addition, it would assist peace officers who may be outside a motor vehicle and performing the peace officers duties in the right-of-way.
6. Connectivity (5%)
Describe how this project would improve or expand transportation choice
and/or improve neighborhood connectivity.
This roundabout removes CO 52 as a barrier to active transportation (bike/ped) options and VRUs. In addition, this project
will help improve neighborhood connectivity from the Town of Keenesburg to the Middle & High School campuses.
7. Community Support: Are there community plans that played a role in the creation of the
project? Please describe how the community has been engaged to inform the location,
design, or goal of the project (i.e., surveys, past or current planning practices).
The SH 52 Coalition was formed in 2018 because of the recurring crashes with fatalities at
this location, yet still didn't meet signal warrant criteria. At one time, we were within needing
one more fatality in a calendar year to meet the crash experience warrant analysis for a traffic
signal. CDOT has been an amazing partner on trying to advance this important safety project.
Not only will this project improve GHG and Ozone emissions but it will help CDOT to meet
their Vision Zero goals.
Please see the attached letters of support for this grant application.

Re: Match Reduction Request for Weld County CCTAP Application — CO52/WCR59 RAB Project
Dear Chair Stephens and NAAPME Board of Directors:
Weld County is sending this match reduction request letter to the NAAPME Board of Directors for your
consideration of a hardship reduction waiver on the Community Clean Transportation Assistance grant
funding program (CCTAP) required local match for the CO 52 and WCR 59 roundabout (RAB) project.
On behalf of Weld County and some of our SH 52 Coalition partners (Keenesburg, Hudson, Lochbuie, RE -3J
School District and CDOT) this local match hardship request helps support our rural agencies who have
limited funds to contribute to this very important safety and air quality project. All these communities meet
the low -to moderate income thresholds by federal standards, which can be quantified in census tracts 25.02
and 19.13. In addition, Weld County has already committed $287,126 local match dollars for the Congestion,
Mitigation, and Air Quality (CMAQ) grant funds awarded to this project through the Upper Front Range
Transportation Planning Region.
This is a project specific hardship request for this rural location, which surpasses the NAAPME program grant
criteria for the region. In addition, this application supports CDOT's compliance with their 2030 Greenhouse
Gas (GHG) Transportation Report, amended September 7, 2022. The CO 52 and WCR 59 RAB was one of
three intersection locations added to the GHG mitigation report to help CDOT comply with their GHG
emission reduction results. Not only do these operational improvements, which are included in CDOT's
Mitigation Action Plan, capture the additional air quality benefits, but funding of this application completes
another project on CDOT's 10 Year Plan.
On behalf of the partner communities, please accept this hardship reduction waiver request to eliminate the
twenty -percent (20%) local match requirement for the CO 52 and WCR 59 RAB grant application. We greatly
appreciate your full and fair consideration of this request.
Respectfully,
Perry L. suck
Chair, Weld County Board of Commissioners

Colorado EnviroScreen percentile score
45.76
The EnviroScreen percentile score combines
population characteristics and environmental
burdens. The score ranges from zero to 100, with
the higher scores representing the most significant
burden.
Component scores
The component scores listed below make up the final Colorado
EnviroScreen percentile score. Like the overall EnviroScreen
score, component scores reflect relative rankings (percentiles).
Environmental exposures percentile score 35.51
K ries bu i i
• _.
VALLEY
0 1.5 3
mi
The environmental exposure score represents a community's exposure to certain environmental risks relative to the rest of the state. The
score ranges from zero to 100, with higher scores indicating higher burden. The environmental exposure score does not cover all
pollutants; it is the average data on diesel particulate matter, traffic proximity, ozone, particulate matter 2.5, air toxics, other air
pollutants, lead exposure risk, drinking water violations, and noise.
Environmental effects percentile score 16.01
The environmental effects score represents the number of hazardous or toxic sites in a community relative to the rest of the state. The
score ranges from zero to 100, with a higher score indicating a higher burden. The score is the average of data on proximity to mining, oil
and gas operations, impaired surface waters, wastewater discharge facilities, Superfund sites, facilities that use hazardous chemicals, and
facilities that generate, treat, store, or dispose of hazardous wastes.
Climate vulnerability percentile score 42.06
The climate burden score represents a community's risk of drought, flood, extreme heat, and wildfire compared to the rest of the state.
The score ranges from zero to 100, the higher the score, the higher the burden.
Sensitive populations percentile score 57.15
The sensitive populations score captures how at risk a community is to environmental exposures and climate impacts related to health.
For example, air pollution has a stronger impact on older and younger people and people with chronic conditions such as asthma. The
score ranges from zero to 100, with a higher score being higher vulnerability. We calculate the score using data on asthma hospitalization
rate, cancer prevalence, diabetes prevalence, heart disease prevalence, life expectancy, low birth weight rate, mental health, population
over 65, and population under five.
Demographics percentile score 55.34
The demographics score represents a community's social and economic vulnerabilities. The score ranges from zero to 100, with a higher
number representing a higher vulnerability. We calculate it using data on people with disabilities, housing cost burden, educational
attainment, limited English proficiency, income, and race and ethnicity.

Understanding the Data
The values shown in the last column of the Pollution and Climate Indicator and Health and Social Indicator tables are
percentiles. Percentiles are a way to see how one area compares to other areas in Colorado. Percentile values range from
0 - 100. A higher score indicates a higher burden. Specifically, the percentile tells you the percentage of places in
Colorado that have a lower score than the selected location. For example, an area with an 85 percentile score for the
noise indicator ranks in the top 15% of areas impacted by noise in Colorado. That means that 85% of the other census
block groups in Colorado have a lower score for noise impacts.

The data in the report comes from Colorado EnviroScreen version 2.0. Developed in 2022 by CDPHE and Colorado State
University, EnviroScreen maps the overlap of environmental exposures and effects, climate vulnerability, sensitive
populations, and demographics to better understand environmental injustice and environmental health risks in Colorado.
For more detailed information on the data sources used in Colorado EnviroScreen Version 2.0 see the
technical documentation.
Colorado EnviroScreen does:
- Show which areas in Colorado are more likely to have higher environmental health injustices.
- Identify areas in Colorado where government agencies can prioritize resources and work to reduce pollution and other sources
of environmental injustice.
-Provide information to empower communities to advocate to improve public health and the environment.
- Identify areas that meet the updated definition of "Disproportionately Impacted Community" under House Bill 23-1233 adopted
a definition that applies to all state agencies, including CDPHE.
Colorado EnviroScreen does not:
- Define a healthy or unhealthy environment.
- Establish causal associations between environmental risks and health.
- Define all areas that may be affected by environmental injustice or specific environmental risks.
- Provide information about an individual person's health status or environment.
-Take all environmental exposures into account.
-Tell us about smaller areas within a census block group that may be more vulnerable to environmental exposures than other
areas
- Provide information about non -human health or ecosystem risks.

RE: Weld County WCR 59/CO 52 RAB Application - NAAPME "Community Clean Transportation Assistance"
Program (CCTAP)
Dear Chair Stephens,
The Weld County Board of County Commissioners requests a funding partnership through the NAAPME
"Community Clean Transportation Assistance" Grant Program. Weld County's application is intended to complete
approximately a $1.8M construction funding gap associated with the CO 52 & WCR 59 roundabout (RAB) project.
We commend the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) for advancing this important safety project on the
state highway system and recognizing the positive impact it will have on the Historically Disadvantaged Communities
by including funding it in their 10 -year Plan.
This important intersection project is an agency collaboration of CDOT, RE -3J School District, the Towns of
Keenesburg, Hudson and Lochbuie committed to improving the safety and air quality of the CO 52 corridor. CO 52
is a major east -west truck route located in the Upper Front Range Transportation Planning Region (UFR TPR). The
UFR TPR is the only rural TPR, not part of a Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) that has been included in
the 8 -hour ozone nonattainment boundary since 2008.
This very important project not only improves the safety for the region and rural school district but reduces emissions
by improving the free flow of traffic in order to reduce the number of idling vehicles at the intersection.
We urge your support and funding of this very important regional project. It is our hope you will agree this project
meets the criteria of the CCTAP Program and the air quality benefits this safety project will bring to the region.

Dear Chair Stephens,
The Upper Front Range Transportation Planning Region (UFRTPR) writes to express strong support for Weld County's CO
52 & WCR 59 roundabout application for the NAAPME "Community Clean Transportation Assistance" Grant Program.
Weld County's application is intended to complete approximately a $1.8M construction funding gap associated with the CO
52 & WCR 59 roundabout (RAB) project.
This important intersection project is an agency collaboration with our TPR members and the Colorado Department of
Transportation (CDOT) to improve the safety and air quality of the CO 52 corridor. CO 52 is a major east -west truck route
located in the Upper Front Range Transportation Planning Region (UFR TPR). The UFR TPR is the only rural TPR, not part
of a Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPG) that has been included in the 8 -hour ozone nonattainment boundary since
2008.
This application helps support CDOT's compliance with their 2030 Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Transportation Report, amended
September 7, 2022, identifying operational improvements to meet the needed mitigation measures for emissions reductions.
Originally, those operational strategies included 10 roundabout locations, which were prioritized for funding during the initial
10 -Year plan development and then CDOT updated its Plan to add three additional roundabout locations. As the statewide
travel model does not distinguish between a roundabout and traditional signalized intersection, CDOT has included them in
the Mitigation Action Plan to capture the additional air quality benefits that the newly added roundabout projects bring to the
10 -Year Plan. The CO 52 and WCR 59 roundabout was one of those three intersection locations added to the GHG mitigation
report to help CDOT comply with their GHG emission reduction results.
We commend the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) for advancing this important safety project on the state
highway system and recognizing the positive impact it will have on the Historically Disadvantaged Communities by including
funding it in their 10 -Year Plan. This very important project not only improves the safety for the region and rural school

We urge your support and funding of this very important regional project. It is our hope you will agree funding this project
to get the construction completed in a timely manner is a matter of statewide importance and meets the criteria of the CCTAP
Program.

RE: Weld County CO 52 and Weld County Road (WCR) 59 Roundabout (RAB) NAAPME
"Community Clean Transportation Assistance" Program (CCTAP) Application
Dear Chair Stephens,
The Town of Keenesburg is pleased to express its strong support for Weld County's application to the
NAAPME "Community Clean Transportation Assistance" Grant Program for the CO 52 & WCR 59
roundabout project. This grant would help close an approximately $1.8 million construction funding gap
associated with the project.
The Town of Keenesburg is committed to improving traffic flow, mitigating congestion and enhancing
safety for our residents. The middle school and high school campuses located near this project, and the
volume of traffic they create, amplifies the Town's need for safer intersection and route projects, such as
this roundabout, which align with our ongoing efforts to promote community well-being and improve
transportation infrastructure.
This project is a vital collaboration with the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) aimed at
enhancing safety and air quality along the CO 52 corridor, a major east -west truck route within the
Upper Front Range Transportation Planning Region (UFR TPR). The proposed roundabout supports
CDOT's compliance with the 2030 Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Transportation Report, amended on
September 7, 2022, which prioritizes operational improvements to reduce emissions. Originally,
CDOT's plan identified 10 roundabout locations for funding, later expanding to include three additional
sites, including the CO 52 and WCR 59 roundabout. This inclusion further demonstrates the project's
significance in meeting state emissions reduction goals.
We commend CDOT for prioritizing this critical safety improvement within its 10 -Year Plan and
recognizing its positive impact on Historically Disadvantaged Communities. This project not only
enhances regional safety particularly for the local rural school district -but also contributes to
emissions reduction by improving traffic flow and minimizing vehicle idling at the intersection.

County's application is intended to complete approximately a $1.8M construction funding gap associated with the CO
52 & WCR 59 roundabout (RAB) project.
This important intersection project is an agency collaboration with the Colorado Department of Transportation
(CDOT) to improve the safety and air quality of the CO 52 corridor. CO 52 is a major east -west truck route located in
the Upper Front Range Transportation Planning Region (UFR TPR). The UFR TPR is the only rural TPR, not part of
a Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) that has been included in the 8 -hour ozone nonattainment boundary
since 2008.
This application helps support CDOT's compliance with their 2030 Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Transportation Report,
amended September 7, 2022, identifying operational improvements to meet the needed mitigation measures for
emissions reductions. Originally, those operational strategies included 10 roundabout locations, which were
prioritized for funding during the initial 10 -Year plan development and then CDOT updated its Plan to add three
additional roundabout locations. As the statewide travel model does not distinguish between a roundabout and
traditional signalized intersection, CDOT has included them in the Mitigation Action Plan to capture the additional air
quality benefits that the newly added roundabout projects bring to the 10 -Year Plan. The CO 52 and WCR 59
roundabout was one of those three intersection locations added to the GHG mitigation report to help CDOT comply
with their GHG emission reduction results.
I commend the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) for advancing this important safety project on the
state highway system and recognizing the positive impact it will have on the Historically Disadvantaged Communities
by including funding it in their 10 -Year Plan. This very important project not only improves the safety for the region
and rural school district but reduces emissions by improving the free flow of traffic in order to reduce the number of
idling vehicles at the intersection.
I urge your support and funding of this very important regional project. It is my hope you will agree to fund this project
to get the construction completed in a timely manner is a matter of statewide importance and meets the criteria of the
CCTAP Program. The project is, after all, for the safety for school children as well as motorists.
Sincerely,
Carlos Barron
