Abstract
The document demonstrates the nature of the Air Quality problem attributed to motor vehicle operation, the magnitude of the problem and a strategy developed to neutralize these effects in order that National Ambient Air Quality Standards may be attained and maintained. Eighteen States must submit definitive transportation control plans for those areas of the State where emissions from transportation sources have resulted in concentrations of pollutants in excess of the national ambient air quality standards. To assist States in the preparation of these transportation plans, strategies have been developed for fourteen metropolitan areas that will achieve carbon monoxide and oxidant air quality standards required to be met by the year 1977. The report discusses the following for all fourteen cities: Implementation plan review; Identification of transportation controls; Estimate of air quality impact; Documentation of implementation obstacles; Formulation of surveillance review process.
