Transportation Planning and Air Quality II

Proceedings of theTransportation Planning and Air Quality II conference, held in Danvers, Massachusetts on May 24-26, 1993. Sponsored by the Urban Transportation Division of ASCE.

This collection contains 23 papers concerning the improvement of air quality by controlling mobile sources of pollution. While current statistics show that most carbon monoxide and about half of the ozone precursors (volatile organic compounds and oxides of nitrogen) come from mobile sources, new laws, regulations, and procedures have been developed such that transportation planners and air quality analysts must work together in order to provide mobility while improving air quality. Thus, this collection brings together individuals from the various professions dealing with transportation and air quality to discuss of key issues.

Topics include:

• the Federal Clean Air Act and transportation planning;
• effectiveness of transportation strategies;
• transportation and emissions modeling;
• trends in mobile source emissions modeling;
• air quality at intersections; and
• innovative approaches to transportation and emissions.
