Recommendations Regarding Mobile Sources |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Regional Emissions Budget - Establish emissions
budget for significant contributing area beginning
in the year emissions are expected to reach minimum
or 2005
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- System for Tracking Emissions - Tool to
assess progress
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Targeted local actions - Needed in Colorado
Plateau's Class I areas, in adjacent local communities,
and in major urban areas impacting visibility.

National Strategies
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Adopt 49- state LEV Standards - Adopt 49-state
LEV in 2001. Adopt federal Tier II standards in 2004,
if determined to be more effective. To 2040, promote
ultra-low and zero emission vehicles.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Heavy Duty Vehicle Standards - Reduce NOx
and particulate emissions from new on-road, heavy
duty vehicles by at least 50% compared to 1998 CAA
requirements. Request EPA to pursue additional on-road
PM reductions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Off road vehicle Standards - Pursue adoption
of additional engine emission standards for new off-road
vehicles.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Broader application of clean fuels - Explore
broader application of and additional reductions
in the sulfur content of gasoline and diesel. Support
regional use of cleaner-burning fuels, including
RFG and diesel, extending toward natural gas, electricity
and hydrogen.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Diesel locomotives, boats, airplanes, and federal
vehicles - Fuel stds. and control strategies
for diesel locomotives, marine vessels/pleasure
craft, airplanes and federal vehicles: 1) national
standards - "captive fleet" marine vessels, 2)
finalize HC stds. for recreational boats/personal
watercraft. 3) adopt NOx stds. for new/remanufactured.
diesel locomotives, 4) strengthen nat'l HC stds./adopt
nat'l NOx stds for aircraft, 5) pursue emission
control strategies for all fleets.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Improved control of evaporative emissions -
Support reqts. for effective refueling vapor recovery
systems that capture evaporative emissions.

Regional Strategies
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Clean Fuel Demonstration Zones - Assess
by 1998 feasibility of incentives for clean fuel
demonstration zones or corridors for heavy duty trucks
and buses. Explore feasibility of establishing alternate
fuel corridors in urban areas and along major trucking
routes. Conduct analysis comparing relative emissions
from trucks and trains.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Pricing and incentive approaches - Conduct
by 1998, a regional analysis of economic pricing
and incentive approaches to reduce reliance on vehicle
use and internalize cost of operating motor-vehicle.
Revenue generating potential
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Inspection Program for Heavy Duty Vehicles -
Supports dev't. of emissions insp. programs for heavy
duty on-road vehicles that routinely travel in the
transport region.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Vehicle Maintenance - Mount public education
campaigns to inform citizens of air quality benefit
of maintaining vehicles. Program includes mechanics
training and certification program and state of art
I/M programs.

Local Strategies
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Incentives for Innovative and Effective Approaches -
Reduce reliance on single occupancy vehicles.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Better integration of transportation, land use,
and air quality planning - Promote multi-modal
transportation option; encourage reduction or elimination
of entry and rate regulations in the transport
industry; establish a clearing house for information,
and sponsor conferences on transportation, land,
and air quality issues.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Establish local mobile source emissions budgets
for selected major urban areas - Develop local
emissions budgets for mobile sources; develop analytical
criteria and accounting methods for implementing
emission budgets; consider use of pricing strategies;
develop an accounting system for market-based programs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Retiring high emitting vehicles - Remove/replace/repair
high/gross emitting vehicles from fleet.
