Reducing Emissions
for a Resilient Region
The CPRG Program is a two-stage grant program that provides funding for non-competitive planning grants and competitive implementation grants to U.S. states, local governments, tribes, and territories to be used to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases and other air pollutants.
The Knoxville Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) was selected by the EPA to receive a $1 million planning grant to create a regional emission reduction plan. The City of Knoxville is leading this effort in developing action plans for participating municipalities within the MSA. The Knoxville Regional Transportation Planning Organization (TPO) is partnering with them to facilitate outreach throughout the region.
