The eight papers in this volume focus on issues on transportation and air quality and discuss a diversitu of topics. A number of papers examine different aspects of the modeling process used to forecast air quality in urban areas. One paper presents the findings of air quality conformity processes in nonattainment areas. Another considers air quality procedures and their impacts on emissions estimates and conformity tests. A third proposes a methodology for determining the proportion of hot and cold engine starts for use in trip forecasting. A fourth proposes a statistical method for vehicle carbon monoxide emission prediction algorithms. Other papers summarize the implications of the Clean Fuel Act and Clean Air Act Amendments, driving pattern variability and impacts on vehicle carbon monoxide emissions, and sketch-planning tools used to evaluate the benefits of transportation control measures.
