Executive Summary

The federal Clean Air Act (CAA) establishes air quality standards and planning requirements for certain air pollutants. To comply with the CAA in achieving the National 

Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS), the California Air Resources Board (ARB) develops State Implementation Plans (SIPs) for federal non-attainment and maintenance areas. 

In California, SIP development is a joint effort of the local air agencies and ARB working 

with federal, state, and local agencies (including the Metropolitan Planning Organizations 

[MPOs]). Local Air Quality Management Plans (AQMPs) are prepared in response to federal and state requirements.

Transportation conformity is required under the CAA to ensure that federally supported 

highway and transit project activities “conform to” the purpose of the SIP. Conformity to 

the purpose of the SIP means that transportation activities will not cause new air quality 

violations, worsen existing violations, or delay timely attainment of the relevant NAAQS. 

Conformity currently applies to areas that are designated non-attainment and those 

re-designated to attainment after 1990 (“maintenance areas”) for the following transportation-related criteria pollutants: ozone, particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10), carbon 

monoxide (CO), and nitrogen dioxide (NO2).

Under the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) Metropolitan Planning Regulations 

and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Transportation Conformity Rule 

requirements, SCAG’s 2012 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) needs to comply with four 

tests upon adoption by the SCAG Regional Council in order for the RTP to conform:

 Regional Emissions

 Timely Implementation of Transportation Control Measures

 Financial Constraint

 Interagency Consultation and Public Involvement

The analyses in this report demonstrate a positive conformity finding for each of these 

tests and, therefore, for the 2012 RTP.

Transportation Conformity Analysis 1
2 Transportation Conformity Analysis

Preface

The federally required conformity analyses and findings for the 2012 RTP are set forth 

in the following sections. The conformity sections cover all federally required analyses 

for the conformity determination of the 2012 RTP. These analyses also update the 2011 

Federal Transportation Improvement Program (FTIP). All transportation and air quality conformity analyses in this document are in compliance with applicable federal and 

state law, including conformity and transportation planning regulations. This report 

contains four sections that specifically address the conformity analyses required for 

federal approval.

 Section I summarizes the conformity requirements and findings.

 Section II provides modeling methodologies and assumptions and results of the 

regional emissions analyses for the 2012 RTP.

 Section III highlights the conformity findings of the Timely Implementation of 

Transportation Control Measures (TCMs) analysis and describes the implementation 

status of all applicable TCMs in the SCAG Region.

 Section IV summarizes the conformity comments and responses.
Section I: Conformity Requirements and Findings

Federal and State Requirements

SCAG, the MPO for Southern California, is mandated to comply with federal and state 

transportation and air quality regulations. Federal transportation regulations authorize 

federal funding for highway, highway safety, transit, and other surface transportation 

programs. The federal CAA establishes air quality standards and planning requirements 

for various criteria air pollutants.

REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION PLAN AND FEDERAL 

TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM

Federal transportation law requires that SCAG develop an RTP for a 20-year minimum 

period. SCAG must also develop an FTIP that allocates monies over a four-year period 

to implement the RTP. The FTIP must be consistent with the RTP (e.g., projects, scope, 

implementation schedules, etc.).

FEDERAL NON-ATTAINMENT AND MAINTENANCE AREAS

The U.S. EPA may make a federal “non-attainment area” designation to any area that has 

not met CAA health standards for one or more pollutants. A non-attainment area designation may require additional air-quality controls for transportation plans, programs, and 

projects. The ARB recommends the federal non-attainment area boundaries to U.S. EPA 

for final designations. Subsequently, the EPA finalizes and defines the boundaries of the 

federally designated non-attainment areas for each criteria pollutant. 

STATE IMPLEMENTATION PLANS

To comply with the CAA in achieving the NAAQS, the ARB develops SIPs for federal 

non-attainment and maintenance areas. The SIP is a plan which provides for implementation, maintenance, and enforcement of the national primary ambient air quality standard 

in each air quality control region within the state. 42 U.S.C. § 7410(a)(1). Each state 

must submit a SIP to EPA within three years after the promulgation of a national primary 

ambient air quality standard (or any revision thereof) for any air pollutant. In California, 

SIP development is a joint effort of the local air agencies and ARB working with federal, 

state, and local agencies (including the MPOs). Local AQMPs are prepared in response to 

federal and state requirements.

In California, all SIPs have to go through three steps: air district action, ARB action, and 

finally EPA action. Each air district submits its respective AQMPs/SIPs to ARB. ARB is 

the official State agency that submits the SIPs to EPA for all federal non-attainment and 

maintenance areas in California.

The SIP includes two important components relative to transportation and air quality 

conformity requirements—emissions budgets and TCMs. Emissions budgets set an upper 

limit which on-road mobile sources are permitted to emit. TCMs are strategies to reduce 

emissions from on–road mobile sources. The 2012 RTP must conform to the applicable 

SIPs [i.e., emissions budgets and TCMs] in the SCAG region.

FEDERAL TRANSPORTATION CONFORMITY RULE

Transportation conformity is required under CAA section 176(c) to ensure that federally 

supported highway and transit project activities “conform to” the purpose of the SIP. 

Conformity currently applies to areas that are designated non-attainment, and those 

re-designated to attainment after 1990 (“maintenance areas” with plans developed under 

CAA section 175[A]) for the specific transportation-related criteria pollutants. Conformity 

to the purpose of the SIP means that transportation activities will not cause new air 

quality violations, worsen existing violations, or delay timely attainment of the relevant 

NAAQS. The transportation conformity regulation is found in 40 CFR part 93.

Clean Air Act Designations in the SCAG Region 

APPLICABLE CRITERIA POLLUTANTS IN THE SCAG REGION

Four criteria pollutants are subject to air quality conformity for the RTP and FTIP:

 CO – a product of automobile exhaust. CO reduces the flow of oxygen in the bloodstream and is particularly dangerous to persons with heart disease.

 Ozone – formed by the reaction between volatile organic compounds (VOC) and 

oxides of nitrogen (NOX) in the presence of sunlight. Ozone negatively impacts the 

respiratory system.

Transportation Conformity Analysis 3
 NO2 – created under the high pressure and temperature conditions in internal combustion engines. It impacts the respiratory system and degrades visibility due to its 

brownish color.

 PM10 and PM2.5 – extremely small particles and liquid droplets associated with dust, 

soot and combustion products. Particulate pollution has been linked to significant 

health problems, including aggravated asthma, increases in adverse respiratory 

problems, chronic bronchitis, decreased lung function, and premature death.

AIR BASINS AND AIR DISTRICTS IN THE SCAG REGION

SCAG is a six-county region that contains four air basins administered by five air districts:

 The South Coast Air Basin (SCAB) covers the urbanized portions of the Los Angeles, 

Riverside, and San Bernardino counties as well as the entire County of Orange 

and is within the jurisdiction of the South Coast Air Quality Management District 

(SCAQMD).

 The South Central Coast Air Basin (SCCAB), Ventura County portion, is within the 

jurisdiction of the Ventura County Air Pollution Control District (VCAPCD).

 The Mojave Desert Air Basin (MDAB) covers the desert portions of Los Angeles, 

Riverside, and San Bernardino counties. A small portion of this air basin is in Kern 

County and outside of the SCAG region. The SCAG portion of this air basin is under 

the jurisdiction of three air districts:

 The Mojave Desert Air Quality Management District (MDAQMD) administers portions of the MDAB situated in San Bernardino County and eastern 

Riverside County. The Riverside County portion is known as the Palo Verde 

Valley Area.

 The SCAQMD administers the portion of MDAB in Riverside County situated 

between the Salton Sea Air Basin and the Palo Verde Valley Area.

 The Antelope Valley Air Quality Management District (AVAQMD) administers 

the Los Angeles County portion of the MDAB.

 The Salton Sea Air Basin (SSAB) covers all of Imperial County and the eastern 

portion of Riverside County (excluding the MDAB portion). This air basin is under 

jurisdiction of two air districts:

 The Imperial County Air Pollution Control District (ICAPCD) administers the 

Imperial County portion of the SSAB.

 The SCAQMD administers the Riverside County portion of the SSAB , 

Coachella Valley, situated between the SCAB and the MDAB.

NON-ATTAINMENT / MAINTENANCE AREAS IN THE SCAG REGION

The Federal non-attainment/maintenance areas in the SCAG region are as follows:

 Ventura County Portion of SCCAB – non-attainment area for 8-hour ozone

 SCAB – non-attainment or maintenance area for: NO2; CO; PM10; PM2.5; and 

8-hour ozone

 Western MDAB (Antelope Valley portion of Los Angeles County and San Bernardino 

County portion of MDAB excluding Searles Valley) – non-attainment area for 

8-hour ozone

 San Bernardino County portion of MDAB:

 Searles Valley – non-attainment for PM10

 San Bernardino County (excluding the Searles Valley area) – non-attainment 

area for PM10

 Riverside County Portion of SSAB (Coachella Valley) – non-attainment area for: 

PM10 and 8-hour ozone

 Imperial County Portion of SSAB – non-attainment for 8-hour ozone; PM2.5; 

and PM10

The boundaries of the air basins, air districts, and non-attainment and maintenance areas

CONFORMITY DETERMINATIONS

SCAG has made the following conformity findings for the 2012 RTP under the required 

federal tests. 

Transportation Conformity Analysis 5
Regional Emissions Tests

These findings are based on the regional emissions test analyses shown in TABLES 13–40.

Finding: The regional emissions analyses for the 2012 RTP update the regional emissions 

analyses for the 2011 FTIP.

Finding: The 2012 RTP regional emissions analysis for PM2.5 and its precursors meet all 

applicable emission budget tests for all milestone, attainment, and planning horizon years 

in the SCAB.

emission budget tests for all milestone, attainment, and planning horizon years for the 

SCAB, SCCAB (Ventura County portion), Western MDAB (Los Angeles County Antelope 

Valley portion and San Bernardino County western portion of MDAB), and SSAB (Riverside 

County Coachella Valley and Imperial County portions).

Finding: The 2012 RTP regional emissions for NO2 meet all applicable emission budget 

tests for all milestone, attainment, and planning horizon years in the SCAB.

Finding: The 2012 RTP regional emissions for CO meet all applicable emission budget 

tests for all milestone, attainment, and planning horizon years in SCAB.

Finding: The 2012 RTP regional emissions for PM10 and its precursors meet all applicable 

emission budget tests for all milestone, attainment, and planning horizon years in SCAB 

and the SSAB (Riverside County Coachella Valley portion).

Finding: The 2012 RTP regional emissions for PM10 meet the interim emission test (build/

no-build test) for all milestone and planning horizon years for the MDAB (San Bernardino 

County portion excluding Searles Valley portion and Searles Valley portion of San 

Bernardino County) and for the SSAB (Imperial County portion).

Finding: The 2012 RTP regional emissions analysis for PM2.5 and its precursors meet 

the interim emission test (build/no-build test) for all milestone, attainment, and planning 

horizon years for the SSAB (urbanized area of Imperial County portion).

Timely Implementation of TCM Test

Finding: The TCM project categories listed in the 1994/1997/2003/2007 Ozone SIPs for 

the SCAB area were given funding priority, are expected to be implemented on schedule, 

and, in the case of any delays, any obstacles to implementation have been or are being 

overcome.

Finding: The TCM strategies listed in the 1994 (as amended in 1995) Ozone SIP for the 

SCCAB (Ventura County) were given funding priority, are expected to be implemented on 

schedule, and, in the case of any delays, any obstacles to implementation have been or 

are being overcome.

Financial Constraint Test

Finding: The 2012 RTP is fiscally constrained. SCAG’s 2012 RTP demonstrates financial 

constraint in the financial plan by identifying all transportation revenues including local, 

state, and federal sources available to meet the region’s programming totals.1

Inter-agency Consultation and Public Involvement Test

Finding: The 2012 RTP complies with all federal and state requirements for interagency 

consultation and public involvement. SCAG’s Transportation Conformity Working Group 

has served as a forum for interagency consultation and, additionally, there were many adhoc meetings held between the stakeholder agencies for this purpose. SCAG’s RTP public 

outreach effort is documented in a separate Public Participation and Consultation Report.

6 Transportation Conformity Analysis
Section II: Regional Emissions Analysis

Background

SCAG’s Regional Travel Demand Model is an advanced four step model that meets and in 

many cases exceeds the state of the practice. The Model meets all the requirements of 

the Transportation Conformity Rule, specifically 40 CFR 93.122(b) (see TABLE 10).

The results from the Regional Travel Demand Model are input to the ARB’s EMFAC model 

for calculating regional emissions.

Regional Travel Demand Model Overview

SCAG is the primary agency responsible for the development and maintenance of travel 

demand forecasting models for the SCAG Region. SCAG has been developing and improving these travel demand forecasting models since 1967. SCAG’s Modeling Task Force, 

consisting of modeling technical peers from the various county and state agencies and 

private firms, meets every other month at SCAG to discuss regionally significant modeling 

projects and modeling issues, including the development, maintenance, and application of 

SCAG’s Regional Travel Demand Model as well as the travel demand models used by other 

stakeholders agencies. The SCAG model has undergone periodic peer reviews, the latest 

occurring in June 2011 (see SCAG Regional Travel Model Enhancement Program and Year 

2008 Model Validation Report).

SCAG’s regional transportation modeling area covers the entire SCAG region, including Counties of Imperial, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, and Ventura. 

This modeling area is divided into 11,267 Transportation Analysis Zones (TAZ’s) with an 

additional 40 external cordon stations, 12 airport nodes, and 31 port nodes for the Ports 

of Los Angeles and Long Beach. The Model was validated for the Year 2008, which is the 

base year for the 2012 RTP (see Year 2008 Model Validation Report).

Model Inputs and Assumptions

SCAG’s modeling methodologies, parameters, and inputs are regularly updated to reflect 

current travel conditions and demographic changes.

Socioeconomic Data by Census Block Group – Socioeconomic data (SED), which 

describes population, households, and employment at Block Group level, are used as 

major input to SCAG’s Regional Travel Demand Model. The concept is that travel is a 

derived demand, which is directly related to the demographics and economic characteristics of households. The model uses both aggregate and disaggregate SED. The aggregate 

data are counts of population, households and employment for each TAZ. The disaggregate data are Public Use Microdata Sample (PUMS) records from the Census, which 

contain detailed information about person and household characteristics in the region.

Highway Networks – The highway networks were originally developed from the Thomas 

Brothers GIS database and then updated with street inventory survey data (the latest SCAG region street inventory survey was conducted in year 2008) in the TransCAD 

environment. The networks include detailed coding of the region’s freeway system 

(mixed-flow lane, auxiliary lane, HOV lane, HOT lane, toll lane, truck lane, etc.) as well as 

arterials, major collectors, and some minor collectors. Separate highway networks for 

each time period were developed to simulate time of day differences in roadway capacity 

and vehicle travel restrictions, such as arterial parking restrictions during peak hours, 

HOV lane minimum vehicle occupancy requirement, and heavy-duty vehicle restrictions on 

certain roadways.

Land Use and Accessibility for Auto Ownership Model – Accessibility refers to the 

ease of reaching goods, services, activities, and destinations. Many factors affect accessibility, including the quality and affordability of transport options, transport system connectivity, and land use patterns. The auto and non-auto accessibilities of a zone directly 

influence household auto ownership. Land use patterns, in particular high density, mixeduse developments also directly influence household auto ownership.

Land Use, Parking, Pricing, TDM, Walk and Bike for Mode Choice Model – Land use, 

zonal parking, roadway pricing, and Travel Demand Management (TDM) are inputs to 

mode choice, in addition to the modal level of service obtained from the highway, transit, 

and non-motorized networks. Parking fees/restrictions, road pricing cost/policies, and 

land use densities have direct influence on travelers’ mode choice. For example, increasing parking fees encourages travelers to shift from auto to transit. Also, high employment 

and residential densities encourage the use of transit and non-motorized modes.

Transit Networks – The transit networks include more than 3,300 transit routes/patterns, representing approximately 70 transit operators with fixed route service over 

Transportation Conformity Analysis 7
the entire SCAG region. The transit routes are completely compatible with the highway 

geography. Separate transit networks are developed for five time periods based on the 

transit service information contained in the up-to-date Los Angeles County Metropolitan 

Transportation Authority (LACMTA) Transit Trip Master database and data collected from 

transit agencies not included in the TripMaster database. Transit services are grouped 

into 8 transit modes (Local Bus, Rapid Bus, Express Bus, Bus Rapid Transit (BRT), Transit 

Way, Urban Rail, Commuter Rail, and High Speed Rail (HSR), according to their service 

characteristics and fare structures. The transit networks include detailed representation 

of all rail stations, transfer opportunities among the different modes and between transit 

routes and park-and-ride locations. A TeleAtlas street network along with Census Block 

level data is used to calculate walk accessibilities and to develop walk access to transit.

External Trips – External trips (i.e., inter-regional trips) are trips with one or both ends 

located outside the SCAG modeling area. SCAG model includes 40 cordon locations 

consisting of freeways and arterials leading into and out of SCAG modeling area. A cordon 

traffic origin-destination survey was conducted in year 2003 and the results were used 

to develop inter-regional Light and Medium (LM) duty vehicle trip matrices, including 

External-to-External (E-E), External-to-Internal (E-I), and Internal-to-External (I-E) trips. 

The origin-destination survey is updated for the 2012 RTP.

Airport Trips – Airports trips include passenger trips and cargo trips, and are represented by approximately 100 zones in the SCAG modeling area. The daily airport passenger trips are disaggregated into regional model TAZ (using employment data for business 

trips and household data for non-business trips) and further split into five time periods 

by four modes of travel: drive alone, 2-person carpool, 3~person carpool, and 4-or-more 

person carpool. The airport vehicle trips are merged with the other auto vehicle trips prior 

to the network assignment step. Air cargo truck trips are disaggregated into the regional 

model TAZs based on the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) employment data. The daily air cargo trips are split into five time periods by three heavy-duty 

truck (HDT) types (light HDT, medium HDT, and heavy HDT) and merged with the HDT 

truck trips prior to network assignment.

Employment, Commodity Flow, Ports, and Warehouse Activities – These inputs to the 

transportation model are data related to the freight activities, including employment by 

industrial classification, commodity flows, seaports, warehousing, trucking and wholesale 

trade, etc.

Model Modules and Procedures

Household Classification and Population Synthesizer – This module classifies zonal 

households into several household segments. Prior to the application of Auto Ownership 

module, households are classified across the following four attributes:

1. Household Size (4 categories): the number of one-person households, two-person 

households, three-person households, and four or more person households.

2. Number of Workers (4 categories): the number of households with no worker, one 

worker, two workers, and three workers or more.

3. Household Income (4 categories): the number of households with annual household 

income (in 1999 dollars) less than $25K (Low), $25K–$50K (Medium), $50K–$100K 

(High), and $100K or more (Very High).

4. Type of Dwelling Unit (2 categories): single-family detached, and multi-family/

attached and group quarters.

For Home-Based-Work (HBW) trip generation, households are aggregated across the 

dwelling unit type and size attributes, and then further disaggregated into four Age of 

Head of Household groups (18 to 24 years old, 25 to 44 years old, 45 to 64 years old, and 

65 years old or older).

The Population Synthesizer is a module that generates a synthetic population by expanding existing disaggregate sample data (from 2000 Census PUMS data) to mirror known 

aggregate distributions of household and person attributes (from SCAG zonal data). A 

set of population and household variables of interest are used as control variables in the 

population synthesizer. A synthetic population is generated for the entire SCAG region 

using this procedure.

Auto Ownership Model – The auto ownership model provides an estimate of households 

by auto ownership level (0, 1, 2, 3, 4 or more) for each zone. This information is used in 

trip generation models to estimate zonal person trips. The basic structure of the auto 

ownership model is a multinomial logit formulation, using input socioeconomic variables 

(household size, household income, number of workers, and type of dwelling unit) and 

land use and accessibility variables (mixed residential and employment, intersection 

density, transit accessibility, and non-motorized accessibility).

8 Transportation Conformity Analysis
Trip Generation Model – Trip generation is the process of estimating daily person trips 

generated by (i.e., trip production) and attracted to (i.e., trip attraction) each TAZ on an 

average weekday. The trip generation model contains 9 trip purposes: home-based work 

(HBW), home-based school (HBSC), home¬based college/university (HBCU), home-based 

shopping (HBS), home-based social-recreational (HBSR), home-based serving-passenger 

(HBSP), home-based other (HBO), work-based other (WBO), and other-based other (OBO) 

trips. HBW trips are further split into 10 types based on trip categories (“Direct” versus 

“Strategic”) and market segmentation (zero car households, households with fewer 

cars than workers, other households with income less than $25,000, income between 

$25,000 and $50,000, and income equal to or higher than $50,000). “Direct” homework trips go directly between home and work. “Strategic” home-work trips include one 

or more intermediate stops between home and work. In total, there are 16 trip types: 8 

types for home-based work, and one type for each of the other 8 trip purposes.

Trip Distribution Models – The trip distribution model estimates the number of trips 

from each TAZ to each other TAZ. Destination choice models are developed for HBW, 

HBS, HBSR, HBSP, HBO, WBO, and OBO trip purposes while a gravity model approach is 

used to distribute trips for HBSC and HBCU trip purposes. The trip distribution is estimated as a function of the attractiveness of the destination zone and the travel impedance from origin to destination. The destination choice models include other variables, 

such as intrazonal indicators, employment or residential density variables, and flags for 

special generators. For each of the 9 trip purposes, the productions and attractions are 

split into both peak and off-peak periods.

Mode Choice Models – Mode choice is the process of taking the zone-to-zone person 

trips by trip purpose from the trip distribution model, and determining how many of 

these trips are made by various travel modes. The SCAG mode choice model is a nested 

logit model. The top branch of the nesting structure includes Auto, Transit, and NonMotorized. The branch under Auto includes Drive Alone and Shared Ride which is further 

split into 2-person carpool, 3-person carpool, and 4-or-more person carpool. The branch 

under Transit includes Local Bus, Rapid Bus, Express Bus, BRT, Transit Way, Urban Rail, 

Commuter Rail, and High Speed Rail (HSR). The branch under Non-Motorized includes 

Walk and Bicycle. Separate mode choice models are estimated for each trip purpose 

and time period. Mode choice is a function of level of service attributes (in-vehicle 

travel time, out-of-vehicle travel time, fares, parking fees, roadway tolls, auto operating 

costs), household attributes such as income, and zonal attributes such as residential and 

employment densities.

Heavy Duty Truck (HDT) Model – HDT trucks are defined by ARB as a truck with a 

gross vehicle weight of 8,500 pounds or more. The SCAG HDT Model includes internal truck and external truck trip models. The internal truck trips are generated using a 

cross¬classification method by applying truck trip rates for a two-digit NAICS code by 

the number of employees in that category and the number of households within each 

zone. The daily truck trip ends are distributed using a gravity model to create daily truck 

trips for each of the three truck types: I) light HDT, 2) medium HDT, and 3) heavy HDT. 

The external truck trips are developed using an econometric model to estimate inbound 

and outbound commodity flows by counties. The county to county commodity data are 

allocated to the zonal level based on NAICS employee distribution and then converted to 

trucks trips using observed data collected during model development. Seaport and airport 

related truck trips were included as special generator truck trips. The daily truck trips 

by truck types are allocated to five time periods and merged with the auto trips in trip 

assignment.

Network Assignment Model – Network assignment is the process of loading vehicle 

trips on the appropriate networks. For highway assignment, the Regional Model consists 

of a series of multi-class simultaneous equilibrium assignments for eight classes of of 

vehicles (drive alone, 2-person carpool using HOV, 2-person carpool using general purpose lanes, 3 or more person carpool using HOV, 3 or more person carpool using general 

purpose lanes, light HDT, medium HDT, and heavy HDT) and for each of the five time periods. During this assignment process, trucks are converted to Passenger Car Equivalent 

(PCE) for each link and each truck type based on 1) percentage of trucks, 2) percentage 

of grade, 3) length of the link, and 4) level of congestion (v/c ratios). Transit vehicles are 

also included in the highway assignment. For transit trip assignment, the final transit 

trips from the last loop mode choice models are aggregated by access mode and time 

period, and then assigned to transit networks for each time period. The vehicle trip tables 

obtained from mode choice, airport, and heavy duty models are aggregated to the 4,109 

Tier1 zone system prior to network assignment.

Model Convergence – In order to maintain consistency between the speeds predicted 

by the highway assignment and the travel times input to the entire travel demand model 

chain, the predicted speeds are used to re-compute highway and transit travel times, and 

Transportation Conformity Analysis 9
the entire model sequence are repeated until input and output speeds are consistent with 

each other.

Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS) VMT-based Post-Process – In 

this step, the outputs from the Network Assignment Model, which including traffic volumes, speeds, VMT, Vehicle Hours Traveled (VHT), and Vehicle Hours of Delay (VHD) are 

adjusted so that the base-year model VMT by air-basin by county is consistent with HPMS 

VMT as appropriate.

Model Outputs

Population Synthesizer Outputs – The synthetic households by Number of Workers, 

Household Size, Household Income, and Type ofDwelling Unit, and a separate classification of households by Number of Workers, Age of Household Head, and Household 

Income are the outputs from the Population Synthesizer module and the inputs to the Trip 

Generation Model.

Auto Ownership Model Outputs – The auto ownership model generates households 

by auto ownership, in other words, the number of households with 0 car, I car, 2 cars, 3 

cars, and 4 or more cars for each zone, which are the inputs to the Trip Generation Model.

Trip Generation Model Outputs – The output from trip generation model includes person 

trip tables by 9 trip purposes, of which HBW trips are further split into 8 types by 4 

income groups and Direct/Strategic categories for both peak and off-peak periods. These 

32 person trip tables are used individually in the Trip Distribution step.

Trip Distribution Model Outputs – The Trip Distribution Model distributes person trips 

from each trip production zone to each and every attraction zones, resulting in 32 person 

trip Production/Attraction (PIA) matrices, which are the inputs to the Mode Choice Model.

Mode Choice Model Outputs – The outputs from the Time of Day Model include passenger vehicle trip matrices in OD format by time period and occupancy level. These matrices 

are then combined with external trips, airport trips, and HDT trips to produce final 

vehicle OD matrices (3 passenger vehicle classes and 3 HDT classes in 5 time periods) 

for Network Assignment step. The 3 passenger vehicle classes are drive alone, 2-person 

carpool, and 3-person carpool. The 3 HDT classes are light HDT, medium HDT, and heavy 

HDT. Transit person trips matrices for each of five time periods are also produced in this 

step for transit assignment.

Network Assignment Model Outputs – Major outputs of the Network Assignment Model 

are highway and transit level of service attributes, including traffic flows and the associated speeds, VMT, VHT, and VHD on the highway networks as well as transit boarding and 

passenger loads on each transit line for each time period.

2012 RTP Modeling Assumptions

Socio-Economic Data – TABLES 1 and 2 show population and employment summaries 

by county and air basin which reflect current trends. This forecast has been in development since 2010 under direction from the SCAG’s Regional Council Community, Economic 

and Human Development Policy (CEHD) Committee and in collaboration with SCAG’s 

subregions and local jurisdictions. The process involved several major steps outlined 

as follows:

1. Analysis of regional growth trends and estimates from sources ranging from the 

U.S. Departments of Commerce, Health and Human Services, Bureau of Labor 

Statistics and Internal Revenue Service and the California Department of Finance 

and Employment Development Department.

2. Analysis of key assumptions (fertility rate, mortality rate, net immigration, labor 

force rates, headship rates, etc.) and methodologies (cohort-component and shiftshare models). 

3. Review and feedback by SCAG’s Plans and Programs Technical Advisory Committee, 

three Panel of Forecasting Experts, counties, subregions and cities including subregional workshops and one-on-one meetings.

The comprehensive discussion of the socio-economic data is included in the 2012 RTP 

Growth Forecast Report.

Auto Operating Cost – There are two components used in calculating auto operating 

cost: the cost of gasoline and “other” costs. The “other” costs category includes costs 

for repairs, light maintenance, lubrication, tires, and accessories. The assumption used in 

the modeling work is that if an auto is available at the household then the depreciation of 

the car and the insurance costs are already being paid for whether the car is left at home 

or used for commuting to work. TABLE 7 lists the auto operating costs used for 2012 RTP. 

All costs are in 1999 constant dollars. Note: costs are expressed in 1999-dollar values for 

input into the mode choice models. Auto Operating costs are calculated using the following formula: Auto Operating Cost = Fuel Cost / Fuel Economy + Other Costs.

* Cents/mile; year 1999 constant $. 2035 includes a two cents vmt fee.

Transit Fares – The transit network includes three types of transit fares: base boarding 

fares, zone fares, and transfer fares; and two types of fare factors: base fare factor and 

transfer fare factor. Fare values were collected through the Transit Level of Service Data 

Collection program. Considering the complex fare structure for most carriers only published full cash fares for initial boarding and transfers are used to represent the base fare 

and transfer fare. To account for the revenue composition of different fare types, such 

as one-way walkup fares, daily/weekly/monthly passes, Senior/Student/Disabled fares, 

and other special fares, base fare factors and transfer fare factors are estimated from 

the boarding and revenue data provided by transit operators. By applying fare factors to 

the published full cash fare, the resulting fares represent actual fares paid by an average 

passenger. Finally, all boarding fares (base fare and transfer fare) are converted into 1999 

dollars using a CPI adjustment factor derived from the CPI factor published by the US 

Department of Labor for the Los Angeles-Riverside-Orange County metropolitan area. 

The fare structure varies significantly by operator and by service for the same operator. 

For example, LACMTA has both local and express bus service. For local bus, the general 

fare is a flat rate of $1.25. For express bus, there is a surcharge of $0.60 for each zone 

in addition to the $1.25 fare. As However, OCTA, another major operator in the region, 

charges a general fare of $1.50 for local bus. For express bus, the fare is a flat rate of 

$3.00 or $4.50 depending on the route. To accommodate variations in the fares for different routes, the transit network codes general flat fares (i.e., base fares, transfer fares) at 

the route level, while the fare factors are calculated at the carrier level.

Two other major operators, Metrolink and Amtrak, follow a zone-based fare structure. For 

example, Metrolink fares are calculated with a distance-based formula using the shortest 

driving distance between stations, with an 80-mile maximum charge. To capture the 

published cash fare between two station pairs, a fare matrix was developed for Metrolink 

and Amtrak. Similarly, the LACMTA Express bus and LADOT Commuter Express bus that 

have zone-based fare are also included as a zone-to-zone fare matrix. 

Similar to the development of fare factors for flat-rate routes, a fare factor matrix was 

developed based on Metrolink sales and boarding data to represent the weighted average 

fare for each station pair. In addition, regression analysis was conducted to generate 

the relationship between the distance and fares for Metrolink to predict future fares for 

new stations.

No real cost increase in transit fares was assumed from 2008 to 2035.
18 Transportation Conformity Analysis

Non-Motorized Trips – 2035 Plan scenario assumes that there will be a shift of approximately one percent of the motorized trips to non-motorized forms of travel (i.e., walking 

and bicycling) due to the RTP’s investment in active transportation.

Capacity and Free Flow Speed – Highway capacities (including for heavy duty truck) 

used in the Model for each of the facility types vary, depending on area location (i.e., 

CBD, urban, suburban, rural, or mountain). Free flow speeds are based on posted speeds.

Principal Arterial 475 – 975 21 – 56

Other Arterial 475 – 975 19 – 55

Collector 375 – 975 17 – 52

Toll Roads – There were approximately 325 lane miles of toll roads in 2008, increasing 

to about 1,600 toll/HOT lanes in 2035. This includes a regional Express Lane network 

(TABLE 9) that would build upon the success of the 91 Express Lanes and TCA Toll Roads 

in Orange County and two demonstration projects in Los Angeles County.

The effect of the toll charges on the toll roads was incorporated into the highway assignment procedure. The toll charge was added to each toll facility by inserting the cost to 

the appropriate link and identifying the link with a unique Toll Class Number. Toll costs (in

TABLE 10 Conformity Requirements Related to Travel Demand Model

CFR Requirement How Requirement is Satisfied

93.122(b)(1 )(i) Network-based travel models must 

be validated against observed counts 

(peak and off-peak, if possible) for 

a base year that is not more than 10 

years prior to the date of the conformity determination. Model forecasts 

must be analyzed for reasonableness and compared to historical 

trends and other factors, and the 

results must be documented.

The SCAG travel demand models 

were estimated and calibrated using 

data from SCAG’s Year 2000 PostCensus Regional Travel Survey, 

2003 External Travel Survey, the 

2010 US Census and various Transit 

on-board Surveys. The model was 

validated against 2008 ground 

counts and 2008 HPMS data. 

93.122(b)(1)(ii) Land use, population, employment, and other network-based 

travel model assumptions must be 

documented and based on the best 

available information.

All land use, population, households, employment, and networkbased model assumptions were 

updated for 2012 RTP and 

documented in 2012 RTP Growth 

Forecast Report and this Conformity 

Report.

93.122(b)(1 )(iii) Scenarios of land development 

and use must be consistent with 

the future transportation system 

alternatives for which emissions are 

being estimated. The distribution 

of employment and residences for 

different transportation options must 

be reasonable.

Land development and use are consistent with future transportation 

systems. The distribution of employment, population, and household is reasonable with respect to 

the transport systems.

CFR Requirement How Requirement is Satisfied

93.122(b)(1 )(iv) A capacity-sensitive assignment 

methodology must be used, and 

emissions estimates must be based 

on a methodology which differentiates between peak and off-peak 

link volumes and speeds and uses 

speeds based on final assigned 

volumes.

The SCAG travel demand model 

includes separate multi-modal 

user equilibrium assignments for 

peak and off-peak time periods. 

The network assignments are 

capacity-sensitive. Link speeds are 

calculated based on final assigned 

volumes.

93.122(b)(1)(v) Zone-to-zone travel impedances 

used to distribute trips between 

origin and destination pairs must 

be in reasonable agreement with 

the travel times that are estimated 

from final assigned traffic volumes. 

Where use of transit currently 

is anticipated to be a significant 

factor in satisfying transportation 

demand, these times should also be 

used for modeling mode splits.

The SCAG travel demand model 

includes full feedback of travel 

time among trip generation, trip 

distribution, mode choice, and trip 

assignment steps. Both highway 

and transit times are included in 

the mode choice model.

Transportation Conformity Analysis 21

2012 RTP Regional Emissions Analysis

EPA’s Transportation Conformity Rule requires that the 2012 RTP regional emissions be 

consistent with (i.e., not exceed) the motor vehicle emissions budgets in the applicable 

SIPs. Consistency with emissions budgets must be demonstrated for each year that the 

applicable emissions budgets are established, for the transportation planning horizon 

year, and for any milestone years as necessary so that the years for which consistency 

is demonstrated are no more than ten years apart. Where there are no EPA approved SIP 

budgets, an interim emission test is used for conformity. For the interim emissions tests, 

the build scenario’s emissions must be less than or equal to the no-build scenario’s emissions and/or the build scenario’s emissions must be less than or equal to the base year. 

Listed below is a description of the various network scenarios.

2012 RTP Conformity Base Year – The conformity base year for 8-hour ozone and PM2.5

is 2002; for all other pollutants the conformity base year is 1990.

2012 RTP No Build – The “No Build” scenario includes all existing regionally significant 

highway and transit projects, all ongoing TDM or TSM activities, and all projects which 

are undergoing right-of-way acquisition, are currently under construction, have completed 

the NEPA process, or are in the first year of the previously conforming FTIP (2011).

2012 RTP Build – The “Build” scenario is generally defined as all RTP projects, including the 2012 RTP No Build, and the future transportation system that will result from full 

implementation of the 2011 FTIP and the 2012 RTP.

For more specific individual project information as part of the RTP modeling and regional 

emissions analysis, refer to the 2012 RTP Modeled Projects list available at www.scag.

ca.gov/rtp2012.

Section 93.122(d)(2) of the EPA Transportation Conformity Rule requires that in PM 

non-attainment and maintenance areas for which the SIPs identify construction-related 

fugitive dust as a contributor to the area problem, the regional emissions analysis should 

include construction-related fugitive PM. Of the SCAG PM non-attainment areas, only 

the SCAB and the Coachella Valley portion of SSAB have PM SIPs. The relevant emissions budgets for these two areas include construction emissions, and the 2012 RTP PM 

regional emissions analyses includes construction emissions as appropriate.

The on-road motor emissions estimates for the 2012 RTP were analyzed using the 

EMFAC2007 emission model developed by ARB. For paved road dust, SCAG uses the 

approved South Coast AQMD methodology, which uses EPA’s AP-42 for the Base Year 

and a combination of additional growth in center-line miles and VMT for future years.

Required Regional Emissions Tests for 2012 RTP

The required regional emissions tests for the 2012 RTP are presented in Table 12. Since 

transportation conformity findings are needed out to the RTP’s horizon year (i.e. 2035), 

the latest budget years deemed adequate by U.S. EPA serve as the budgets for future 

years in each emissions test.

Summary of Regional Emissions Analysis

The following tables summarize the required regional emission analyses for each of the 

non-attainment areas within SCAG’s jurisdiction. For those areas which require budget 

tests, the RTP emissions values in the summary tables below utilize the rounding convention used by ARB to set the budgets (i.e., any fraction rounded up to the nearest ton), and 

are the basis of the conformity findings for these areas.

**AQMP Backstop Measure: There is projected long-term growth in direct PM10 emissions due to 

increased vehicle travel on paved and unpaved roads. To address this increase in primary PM10 emissions 

from travel while continuing to provide for attainment after 2006, the 2003 AQMP included the “Transportation Conformity Budget Backstop Control Measure” which commits to achieve additional PM10 reductions from transportation-related PM10 source categories in future years to offset the increased emissions.

Section III: Timely Implementation of 

Transportation Control Measures

Introduction

This section itemizes and reports the findings of timely implementation of TCM projects 

as specified in the fiscally constrained portion, or the first two years (i.e., FY 2010/11-

2011/12), of the 2011 FTIP. These projects comprise the committed TCMs in the 2012 

RTP. The findings are required only for the applicable TCM projects contained in the 

approved SIPs which, in the SCAG Region, are the ozone attainment plans for the SCAB 

and the Ventura County portion of the SCCAB.

Transportation Conformity Rule

The criteria for identifying TCM projects and the requirements for timely implementation 

of these projects are defined in the U.S. EPA’s Transportation Conformity Rule, 40 CFR 

Part 93:

A TCM is any measure that is specifically identified and committed to in the applicable 

implementation plan, including a substitute or additional TCM that is incorporated into the 

applicable SIP through the process established in CAA section 176(c)(8), that is either one 

of the types listed in CAA section 108, or any other measure for the purpose of reducing 

emissions or concentrations of air pollutants from transportation sources by reducing 

vehicle use or changing traffic flow or congestion conditions. Notwithstanding the first 

sentence of this definition, vehicle technology-based, fuel-based, and maintenance-based 

measures which control the emissions from vehicles under fixed traffic conditions are not 

TCMs for the purposes of this subpart.

Section 108(f)(1)(A) of the federal CAA lists the following sixteen measures as illustrative 

of TCMs. However, this list should not be considered exhaustive.

 Programs for improved use of public transit;

 Restriction of certain roads or lanes to, or construction of such roads or lanes for 

use by, passenger buses or high occupancy vehicles;

 Employer-based transportation management plans, including incentives;

 Trip-reduction ordinances;

 Traffic flow improvement programs that achieve emission reductions;

 Fringe and transportation corridor parking facilities, serving multiple occupancy 

vehicle programs or transit service;

 Programs to limit or restrict vehicle use in downtown areas or other areas of emission concentration, particularly during periods of peak use;

 Programs for the provision of all forms of high-occupancy, shared-ride services;

 Programs to limit portions of road surfaces or certain sections of the metropolitan area to the use of non-motorized vehicles or pedestrian use, both as to time 

and place;

 Programs for secure bicycle storage facilities and other facilities, including 

bicycle lanes, for the convenience and protection of bicyclists, in both public and 

private areas;

 Programs to control extended idling of vehicles;

 Programs to reduce motor vehicle emissions, consistent with Title II of the Clean Air 

Act, which are caused by extreme cold start conditions;

 Employer-sponsored programs to permit flexible work schedules;

 Programs and ordinances to facilitate non-automobile travel, provision and utilization 

of mass transit, and to generally reduce the need for single-occupant vehicle travel, 

as part of transportation planning and development efforts of a locality, including 

programs and ordinances applicable to new shopping centers, special events, and 

other centers of vehicle activity;

 Programs for new construction and major reconstruction of paths, tracks or areas 

solely for the use by pedestrian or other non-motorized means of transportation, 

when economically feasible and in the public interest; and

 Programs to encourage the voluntary removal from use and the marketplace of pre1980 model year light duty vehicles and pre-1980 model light duty trucks.

In addition to the types of measures listed above, other measures may be considered as 

TCM projects if they reduce emissions or concentrations of air pollutants from transportation sources by modifying vehicle use, changing traffic flow, or mitigating traffic congestion conditions. TCM projects may be voluntary programs, incentive-based programs, 
32 Transportation Conformity Analysis

regulatory programs, as well as market- or pricing-based programs. However, all TCM 

categories must be listed in the applicable (EPA-approved) SIP to be considered TCMs.

It should be noted, however, that measures and projects that use technology to reduce 

emissions—such as innovations in fuel formulation technologies, or the promotion of 

zero-emission vehicles, or of alternative fueled engines—cannot be considered TCM projects. Roadway capacity enhancement projects are also not typically considered TCMs.

The transportation conformity process is designed to ensure timely implementation of 

TCM strategies, thus reinforcing the link between AQMP/SIPs and the transportation 

planning process. If a TCM cannot be implemented or is only partially implemented, the 

shortfall must be made up by either substituting a new TCM strategy or by enhancing 

other control measures through the substitution.

CRITERIA AND PROCEDURES FOR THE TIMELY 

IMPLEMENTATION OF TCMS 

The Transportation Conformity Rule (40 CFR 93.113) states:

a. The transportation plan, TIP, or any FHWA/FTA project which is not from a conforming plan and TIP must provide for the timely implementation of TCMs from the 

applicable implementation plan.

1. For transportation plans, this criterion is satisfied if the following two conditions 

are met: The transportation plan, in describing the envisioned future transportation 

system, provides for the timely completion or implementation of all TCMs in the 

applicable implementation plan which are eligible for funding under title 23 U.S.C. 

or the Federal Transit Laws, consistent with schedules included in the applicable 

implementation plan.

2. Nothing in the transportation plan interferes with the implementation of any TCM 

in the applicable implementation plan.

b. For TIPs, this criterion is satisfied if the following conditions are met:

1. An examination of the specific steps and funding source(s) needed to fully implement each TCM indicates that TCMs which are eligible for funding under title 23 

U.S.C. or the Federal Transit Laws are on or ahead of the schedule established 

in the applicable implementation plan, or, if such TCMs are behind the schedule established in the applicable implementation plan, the MPO and DOT have 

determined that past obstacles to implementation of the TCMs have been identified and have been or are being overcome, and that all State and local agencies 

with influence over approvals or funding for TCMs are giving maximum priority 

to approval or funding of TCMs over other projects within their control, including 

projects in locations outside the nonattainment or maintenance area.

2. If TCMs in the applicable implementation plan have previously been programmed 

for Federal funding but the funds have not been obligated and the TCMs are behind 

the schedule in the implementation plan, then the TIP cannot be found to conform 

if the funds intended for those TCMs are reallocated to projects in the TIP other 

than TCMs, or if there are no other TCMs in the TIP, if the funds are reallocated 

to projects in the TIP other than projects which are eligible for Federal funding 

intended for air quality improvement projects, e.g., the Congestion Mitigation and 

Air Quality Improvement Program.

3. Nothing in the TIP may interfere with the implementation of any TCM in the applicable implementation plan.

c. For FHWA/FTA projects which are not from a conforming transportation plan and 

TIP, this criterion is satisfied if the project does not interfere with the implementation of any TCM in the applicable implementation plan.

Applicable SIPs in the SCAG Region

In the SCAG region, SIPs developed in the SCAB and the Ventura County portion of the 

SCCAB contain TCM strategies and thus are the applicable SIPs per EPA’s Transportation 

Conformity Rule. The other SIPs do not contain any TCM strategies. The two SIPs with 

TCM strategies are:

2007 OZONE SIP (SCAB)

The 2007 Ozone AQMP for the SCAB was approved by the SCAQMD Board on June 1, 

2007 and by the ARB as part of the SIP on September 27, 2007. The EPA has approved 

the 2007 South Coast Ozone SIP effective April 30, 2012. The TCM categories in the 

2007 Ozone AQMP/SIP are consistent with the TCM01 categories established in the 

1994 Ozone SIP.
1994 OZONE SIP (VENTURA COUNTY PORTION OF SCCAB)

The EPA approved the 1994 Ozone SIP revisions on January 8, 1997. The 2007 Ozone 

AQMP/SIP revision (pending EPA approval) makes no changes to previously approved 

TCMs contained in the 1994 SIP (as amended in 1995).

It is noted that the Ventura County SIP does not claim emission reduction credits from 

TCM projects. They have been included to assist transportation and air quality agencies 

to identify projects that have the potential of reducing vehicle emissions, vehicle trips and 

vehicle miles traveled.

TCM Reporting Process in the SCAG Region

Only those TCM-category projects that have been committed for implementation are 

considered for purposes of timely implementation reporting. As such, only those projects 

designated as TCMs in the first two years (the fiscally constrained portion) of the prevailing FTIP are considered for reporting. The projects reported on in this report are those 

TCM-category projects which have been committed to right-of-way acquisition, construction or implementation in the Fiscal Year 2010–2011 and 2011–2012 portions of the 2011 

FTIP. In addition, those TCM projects designated for reporting in previous FTIPs, and 

which are still under construction or implementation, will continue to be reported. Further, 

completed TCM projects are also reported. Thus, this Timely Implementation Report provides the programmed completion dates as set forth in the 2011 FTIP and current status 

for the 2012 RTP.

Although project implementation remains an enforceable commitment by project sponsor agencies, SCAG is responsible for assuring the timely implementation of TCMs. 

Per a request from the federal agencies, beginning with the 2003 AQMP/SIP, SCAG 

began to develop a protocol for tracking currently anticipated project completion dates 

against previously reported completion dates, as provided by the County Transportation 

Commissions (CTCs). It is SCAG’s intention that project completion dates reported 

when a TCM is first listed in an approved FTIP will be reported in all subsequent Timely 

Implementation Reports alongside any changes to these completion dates that may arise, 

until such a time as the project is completed or open to use. In this case, ongoing and 

completed projects include the date listed in the 2004 FTIP, which was the first FTIP to 

include this reporting requirement.

SCAG has traditionally relied on the established project status update process used for 

the RTP and the FTIP to provide the initial structure for the Timely Implementation Report. 

This data, which is submitted to SCAG by the CTCs, is then tabulated into a Timely 

Implementation Report and then re-circulated to the CTCs so as to obtain the most current project information available with regard to implementation status. This final data 

on project implementation status, and on currently anticipated completion dates, is then 

used to establish the final Timely Implementation Report. SCAG’s process integrates an 

assessment of the specific steps and funding sources needed to fully implement each 

TCM, and confirms that the projects are on or ahead of schedule; or, in the case that 

some particular project is delayed, the analysis establishes that the obstacles to implementation have been or are being overcome, and that the project is henceforth expected 

to be expeditiously implemented.

Timely Implementation of TCM Projects in the SCAG Region

The federal Transportation Conformity Rule states that timely implementation is to be 

measured against the TCM projects in the applicable SIP. SCAG evaluates the TCMcategory projects to determine the anticipated level and current status of implementation. The enforceable commitment is to report on the funding and implementation of TCM 

projects in the first two years of the six-year FTIP. In each FTIP, TCM category projects 

roll forward and the enforceable commitment is automatically revised to encompass the 

first two-year schedule of TCM-category projects without the need for a SIP revision. The 

implementation status of each of these TCM projects then continues to be reported on 

in subsequent FTIPs, until the TCM project is reported as having been completed, or the 

suitably replaced or substituted project has been completed.

TCM FUNDING SOURCES

The following types of funding sources contribute to demonstrating timely implementation 

of TCM projects:

 SAFETEA-LU programs provide federal funds for eligible TCM projects under EPA 

requirements.

 TCMs are eligible expenditures under funds provided for the National Highway 

System (NHS), Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement (CMAQ) Program, 

and the Surface Transportation Program (STP). TCMs listed in federal CAA Section 

Transportation Conformity Analysis 33
34 Transportation Conformity Analysis

108 (f)(1)(A) [other than clauses xii and xvi] are specifically listed as eligible uses for 

federal funding.

 Under CMAQ, funds are targeted for TCMs and may not be used for projects that do 

not contribute to the attainment of NAAQS. CMAQ funds may not be provided for a 

project resulting in the construction of new capacity available to single occupancy 

vehicles, except on the HOV portion of a larger freeway project, or where the project 

consists of a HOV facility made available to single occupancy vehicles only during 

non-peak travel times.

SOUTH COAST AIR BASIN

The 2007 AQMP/SIP includes the following three TCM project categories:

 High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) Measures,

 Transit and Systems Management Measures, and

 Information-based Transportation Strategies.

It should be noted that the TCM project categories in Appendix IV-C, Regional 

Transportation Strategy and Control Measures, of the 2007 Ozone AQMP/SIP, are 

consistent with those of TCM01 specified in the 1994 and subsequent Ozone SIPs, 

and are updated by the list provided in the Timely Implementation Report section 

of this document.2

VENTURA COUNTY PORTION OF SCCAB

The applicable TCM projects in Ventura County include the following strategies:

 Ridesharing

 Non-Motorized Strategies

 Traffic Flow Improvement Strategy

 Land Use Strategy

 Transit Strategies

2 SCAG will continue working with EPA, ARB and SCAQMD to understand the full implications of the 

recent Ninth Circuit Court ruling in the Association of Irritated Residents et al. v. EPA case (Nos. 

09-71383 and 09-71404) related to the Transportation Control Measures (TCMs) for the severe or 

extreme ozone non-attainment area contained within this plan. SCAG will amend the plan (if required) 

once the EPA has completed its analysis and provided any direction that may be needed.

Section IV: Summary of Public Comments and 

Responses

As discussed previously, SCAG’s Transportation Conformity Working Group served as 

the forum specifically for interagency consultation relative to conformity and, additionally, there were many ad-hoc meetings held between the stakeholder agencies for this 

purpose. The comprehensive public participation and interagency consultation conducted 

for the 2012 RTP is detailed in the 2012 RTP Public Participation and Consultation Report. 

The public review and comment period for the Draft 2012 RTP Conformity Report began 

in December 2011 and closed in February 2012. Six non-substantive comments on 

confomrity were received during the public review period. The comments sought clarification, provided update or minor revisions to the information in the Draft Conformity Report 

or the conformity summary information included in the main RTP document. Appropriate 

changes were made to to reflect the comments.

All comments and responses on the Draft 2012 RTP can be accessed at http://rtpscs.
