Abstract
The purpose of this document is to provide nonattainment and maintenance areas with guidance on implementing the transportation control measure (TCM) substitution and addition provision contained in the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU). SAFETEA-LU, which was signed into law on August 10, 2005, revised a number of aspects of the Clean Air Acts section 176(c) transportation conformity provisions. In addition to amendments to the transportation conformity provisions, SAFETEA-LU also added a provision to section 176(c) to allow states to substitute or add TCMs into approved state implementation plan (SIPs) without the standard SIP revision process.1 2 Under this Clean Air Act provision, states are no longer required to include a TCM substitution mechanism in their SIPs in order to expedite the process for making TCM substitutions. The provision also provides a streamlined process for adding TCMs to an approved SIP.

Contents Notes
This January 2009 document provides updated guidance to state and local air quality and transportation agencies on implementing the Clean Air Act provision that establishes a streamlined process for substituting or adding transportation control measures to an approved state air quality plan. Transportation control measures, such as public transit and carpooling, can provide alternatives to the public that reduce motor vehicle emissions. This document supersedes the section of the February 14, 2006 interim guidance on implementing the Clean Air Act amendments made by SAFETEA-LU that addressed this provision.
