SUMMARY 

This Appendix describes the Southern California Association of Government’s (SCAG’s) 

transportation strategy and transportation control measures (TCMs) to be included as part of the 

2003 Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP) and State Implementation Plan (SIP). This 

strategy was developed in consultation with Federal, State and local transportation and air 

quality planning agencies and other stakeholders. The four County Transportation 

Commissions, namely Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority, Riverside 

County Transportation Commission, Orange County Transportation Authority and the San 

Bernardino Associated Governments, were actively involved in the development of the TCM 

strategy of this Appendix. 

Consistent with past practices and in response to the inter-Agency consultation process, the 

Regional Transportation Strategy and Transportation Control Measures portion of the 2003 

AQMP/SIP consists of the following four related elements. 

• Transportation Strategy and Emission Reduction Demonstration – Total regional emission 

reductions from transportation projects in the South Coast Air Basin (Basin) are 

demonstrated based on the 2001 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP). In addition, emission 

reductions are quantified separately for TCM projects based on the most recent Regional 

Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP). The emission reductions from the TCMs 

make up a subset of the total emission reductions from the RTP. 

The long-term planning requirements for emission reductions from on-road mobile sources 

are met by the RTP process, while the short-term implementation requirements are met by 

the RTIP process. 

• TCM Project Identification — The TCMs included in the 2003 AQMP are derived from 

TCM projects listed in the first two years of the most recently approved RTIP. In the event 

of a conformity lapse, only Federally approved TCMs and exempt projects, in the first two 

years (fiscally constrained portion) of the most recent (currently 2002) RTIP, will be allowed 

to proceed. 

Formal substitution language within this Appendix will allow for TCM revisions and 

replacements without triggering the need for an amendment to the SIP. The substitution 

language will allow for both the substitutions of individual TCMs as well as the replacement 

of TCMs in the case of the RTIP rollover. When SCAG adopts a new RTIP the TCM list 

will be updated to reflect new and ongoing projects. 

• Timely Implementation – The formal timely implementation reporting process by which the 

RTIP assures implementation of the RTP be used as a compliance and reporting mechanism 
3

for TCM implementation tracking. Once a TCM project is listed in an RTIP, the 

implementation status must be reported on in subsequent RTIPs until the project has been 

completed. The purpose of this reporting is to track the timely implementation of TCMs, and 

to demonstrate that any project for which emission reduction credits were claimed has either 

been implemented or is being implemented. A timely implementation report is generated 

each time a conformity determination is made. 

• Reasonably Available Control Measure (RACM) Analysis – The Federal Clean Air Act 

(CAA) requires that a RACM analysis will be included as part of the overall TCM strategy in 

the SIP. This analysis ensures that all potential TCMs that exist are evaluated for 

implementation and that justification is provided for those measures that are not 

implemented. In accordance with EPA procedures, this analysis will consider TCM 

measures that are suggested during public comments, relevant measures adopted in other 

nonattainment areas of the country, and measures identified by EPA. 

LINKING REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION PLANNING TO AIR QUALITY 

PLANNING 

The air quality conformity requirements of the Federal Clean Air Act, the Intermodal Surface 

Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) and the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century 

(TEA-21) establish a need to integrate air quality planning and regional transportation planning. 

This integration presents the challenge of balancing the real need for improved mobility with the 

equally important goals of cleaner air and the enhanced social and economic well being of 

communities. As the Federally-designated Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for the 

six-county Southern California region, the Southern California Association of Governments 

(SCAG) is required by law to ensure that transportation activities “conform” to, and are 

supportive of, the goals of regional and state air quality plans to attain the National Ambient Air 

Quality Standards (NAAQS). In addition, SCAG is a co-producer, with the South Coast Air 

Quality Management District (AQMD), of the transportation strategy and transportation control 

measure sections of the AQMP for the Basin. 

The SCAG Region is the largest metropolitan planning area in the United States, encompassing 

38,000 square miles. The Region is divided into 14 subregions and is one of the largest 

concentrations of population, employment, income, business, industry and finance in the world. 

The six-county SCAG Region is home to more than 17 million people, nearly half of the 

population of the state of California. The Gross National Product (GNP) equivalent for the 

Region shows that Southern California is the 12th largest economy in the world, with 7.4 million 

jobs, while the State, as a whole, constitutes the 6th largest economy in the world. The South 

Coast Air Basin (Basin) has the worst air quality of the four air basins contained in the SCAG 

region. 

SCAG is responsible for the creation of the Region’s long-range (20 year planning horizon) 

Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) and its short-term (six year planning horizon) Regional 

Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP). The 2001 RTP represents the culmination of 

more than two years of work involving dozens of public agencies, 184 cities, hundreds of local, 
4

county, regional and state officials, the business community, environmental groups, as well as 

various nonprofit organizations, and was founded on a broad-based public outreach effort. A 

comprehensive list of Task Forces and Advisory Committees is included in Appendix L of the 

2001 RTP [pp. L1-L20 <http://www.scag.ca.gov/rtp/webpdfs/appendix_L.pdf>]. 

The 2001 RTP constitutes the required three-year update to the 1998 Regional Transportation 

Plan (98 RTP), and was formally adopted by the SCAG Regional Council in April 2001, and 

approved by the federal agencies on June 8, 2001. This provides a basis for the 2003 South 

Coast Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP), by establishing consistent estimates of projected 

regional growth, and forecast increases in transportation activities. It also provides the 

framework for aggregating sub-regional and local efforts to institute measures aimed at 

mitigating the adverse air pollution impacts from increased transportation activities. These 

measures are known as Transportation Control Measures (TCMs), and are the focus of this 

Appendix. 

The RTIP <http://www.scag.ca.gov/rtip/>, is the vehicle used to implement the RTP. The 2002 

RTIP was approved by federal agencies on October 4, 2002. The TCMs in the 2003 AQMP are 

derived from the first two years of the approved RTIP. The RTIP also provides the schedule and 

framework for the timely implementation of the Region’s TCM strategies. 

Key Planning Factors: Challenges and Objectives 

As the 2001 RTP points out, the central challenge facing the Region is the prospect that the 

regional population is expected to increase by almost 7 million people (40%), from 1997 to 

2025, employment by 3 million jobs (43%), and the number of households by 2.2 million (30%). 

Other demographic factors, such as the rapid aging of the region’s population profile and 

proportional redistribution amongst the region’s ethnic groups, may affect residential location 

decisions and affect commute and general transportation choices as well. 

Accommodating this anticipated growth in a sustainable way—by taking account of ecological, 

economic and social factors, while enhancing quality-of-life indicators for present and future 

generations—represents the central challenge facing regional transportation planning in Southern 

California. Improvements in transportation mobility, both for people and for goods and services, 

and in progress toward meeting the NAAQS, must meet the goals of cost-effectiveness, 

environmental protection, and energy-efficiency. 

It should be recognized that regional transportation and air quality plans, and ultimately their 

resultant SIPs, embody a commitment of resources by the region as a whole. However, as the 

designated MPO for the Southern California region, and thus also for the Basin, SCAG bases its 

responsibilities on the following four assumptions. 

• There will be an appropriate commitment of fiscal resources from State and Federal 

sources. 

• SCAG will continue to have responsibility over the official growth forecasts for the 

region. 
5

• A monitoring system will be maintained to track implementation of the TCMs. 

• There will be an appropriate commitment of resources supporting interagency 

consultation from local, State and Federal agencies involved in the process. 

Additionally, the Regional Transportation Strategy proposed in the 2003 AQMP is predicated on 

the assumption that the following three Innovative Financial Strategies adopted by SCAG’s 

Regional Council (RC) will be implemented as expected. 

• State sales tax on gasoline revenues will continue to be dedicated to transportationrelated projects per Proposition 42. 

• A share of the county sales tax will be dedicated to transportation-related projects where 

necessary. 

• State motor vehicle fuel excise tax rate and user-fees will be appropriately indexed to 

maintain their historic purchasing power. 

Finally, it should be recognized that all the measures in this Appendix are taken from the 2001 

RTP and the 2002 RTIP, both of which have been deemed to be in conformity by the US DOT 

and by US EPA. 

IMPLEMENTING A REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION STRATEGY 

The Regional Transportation Strategy for the 2003 AQMP, as embodied in the 2001 RTP and 

further defined by the fiscally-constrained portion (first two years) of the 2002 RTIP, is part of a 

comprehensive vision to improve air quality by reducing emissions from mobile sources, while 

at the same time enhancing mobility and assuring social and economic development. The 

transportation strategy and TCM projects proposed in this Appendix are best viewed as an 

interconnected system, with the various components augmenting and reinforcing one another, 

rather than merely a mechanical aggregation of stand-alone actions. 

Infrastructure improvements, transit and system management, and information services are being 

pursued within the context of a broad vision of the region's future. This strategy outlines 

regional and sub-regional commitments to implement transportation improvements contained in 

the 2001 RTP and detailed in the first two years of the 2002 RTIP. Collectively, they will reduce 

mobile source emissions and move the Basin toward attainment of the NAAQS. The regional 

Transportation Strategy continues the blueprint contained in the 1997/98 SIP previously 

submitted to EPA. It also integrates air quality, mobility, community quality-of-life, and 

economic development goals described in SCAG’s Regional Comprehensive Plan and Guide. 

This Regional Transportation Strategy is intended to maximize the emission reductions that can 

realistically be expected to be achieved from on-road mobile sources. However, it should be 

recognized at the outset that potential improvements in air quality deriving from TCM strategies 

applied to on-road mobile sources are minimal. This is due to the fact that motor vehicle 

emissions have been substantially reduced through technology, and individual TCMs affect only 
6

a small portion of regional travel, as well as the fact that TCMs generally do not produce large 

scale changes in travel behavior. To attain the NAAQS, the Region will need to continue its 

focus on reductions from all emission source categories. 

Historic Trends: Context and Conditions 

As shown in Table 1, between 1980 and 2000, both population and employment have increased 

substantially in Southern California. During this same time period, the absolute number of 

home-to-work vehicle trips increased by 25 percent. However, the percentage increase in people 

driving to work alone is greater than the percentage increase in people using transit. The 

percentage increase in people sharing rides to work also lags appreciably. The absolute number 

of people that either work at home (including telecommuting), or ride a bicycle or walk to work, 

has dropped significantly for this same period as depicted in the “other” category in Table 1. 

Clearly, and through the year 2000, the rate of increase in people riding transit and sharing rides 

to work has not kept pace with the rate of increase in home-to-work trips. There is a strong 

historic trend toward driving alone, and a primary goal of the RTP is to counter this trend. 

This is one of the key challenges for regional transportation planning, and will continue to be a 

central concern for some time to come—ensuring that the proportion of transit and ride-share 

trips, as well as the usage of bicycles and information technology-based strategies, increase their 

share of the total work-trips for the region, particularly over the next decade.

Employment Development Report

Growth Forecasts: Linking Socio-Economic Profiles to Land Use Patterns 

As the designated MPO for the Southern California region, SCAG is responsible for generating 

the socio-economic profiles and growth forecasts on which land use, transportation, air quality 

management and implementation plans are based. The growth forecasts provide the socioeconomic data used to estimate vehicle trips and vehicle miles traveled (VMT). Emission 

estimates can then be forecast based on these projected estimates. 

1980 2000 Change % Change

Population 15,429,162 11,074,483 4,354,679 39%

Employment 7,089,958 5,402,323 1,687,635 31%

Total Home-to-Work Trips 6,102,839 4,898,642 1,204,197 25%

 Drive Alone 3,493,490 4,648,117 1,154,627 33%

 Carpool 844,424 960,356 115,932 14%

 Transit 260,075 310,382 50,307 19%

 Other 300,653 183,984 (116,669) -39%
7

The monitoring of changes in regional socio-economic profiles is a key factor in tracking 

changes in land use patterns as they affect transportation system usage and, thus, air quality 

impacts. The regional land use forecast consists of allocating population and employment 

growth totals among zones, based on existing factors that can shape development. To the extent 

that land use policies and programs impact the allocation of population and employment growth, 

they will be reflected in the regional land use forecast, and therefore in the mobile source 

emissions estimate. For instance, changes in growth forecasts alone, due to changes in 

demographic patterns and the implementation of land use policy and programs (such as the 

densification of development around transit stations) between the 1998 RTP and the 2001, 

resulted in a decrease in VMT and volatile organic compound (VOC) emission estimates for the 

region. 

Reductions in emissions due to changes in the socio-economic profile of the region are an 

important way of taking account of changes in land use patterns. For example, changes in jobshousing balance induced by changes in urban form and transit-oriented development, induce 

changes in VMT by more closely linking housing to jobs. Thus, socio-economic growth 

forecasts are a key component to guide the Basin toward attainment of the NAAQS. SCAG 

provides the mechanisms by which changes in socio-economic profiles, which affect land use 

patterns, can be monitored on a systematic and on-going basis. 

REGIONAL EMISSION REDUCTIONS 

The measures contained in the 2001 RTP (including TCMs) demonstrate an overall emission 

reduction for the region of 15.7 tons per day (tpd) of VOC, 7.8 tpd of NOx and 161.8 tpd of CO 

by the year 2010. Emission reductions from TCMs make up a subset of that total and provide 

emission reductions of 5.6 tpd of VOC, 1.0 tpd of NOx and 60.8 tpd of CO. See Table 2.

Emission reduction estimates for TCMs are based on an aggregate of all TCMs. An aggregate 

emissions reduction provides for a more accurate emission estimate for two reasons. First, the 

methodology used to estimate the aggregate emission reductions, which involves robust 

modeling tools, is a more exact science than that which is used to estimate emissions reductions 

from individual TCMs, which usually involves off-model analysis. 

Secondly, actual estimates of the total emission reductions attributable to an RTP, taken 

cumulatively and as a whole, differ significantly from the value derived by mechanically adding 

up the emission reductions of individual TCM components. This is due to overlapping effects 

between the various strategies. A misleading double-counting effect would occur if emission 

reductions were quantified for each individual TCM and then summed as a whole. For these 

reasons, it is important that estimates of the actual emission reductions indicated by the 2001 

RTP and TCMs should be quantified only at the system-level. 

One of the key goals of conventional transportation planning has been the provision of sufficient 

roadway capacity to reduce congestion and improve mobility. There has been some debate 

regarding the extent to which capacity enhancement projects actually succeed in relieving 

congestion—the countervailing argument being, that, as capacity is increased (for instance by the 

addition of lanes or roadways) demand itself increases to fill these new facilities. This is 

referred to as “induced demand”. As a consequence, and because the demand for roadway 

facilities is responsive to changes in supply, only some fraction of the hoped for congestion relief 

actually materializes. 

However, improvements to regional networks of highways and arterials do, in fact, result in 

some degree of congestion relief. And, to the extent that congestion is actually relieved, there 

are significant regional air quality benefits to such flow-improving interventions. It is difficult to 

find some definitive way to quantify these benefits, except by doing a system-level test of 

emissions resulting from a full implementation of the whole RTP, compared to the emissions 

resulting from some form of no-project alternative. This is another reason why regional 

transportation agencies have argued that the air quality and environmental benefits of 
9

transportation improvements cannot be additively computed, but must be viewed at the level of 

the whole system. The discussion of specific TCM measures and strategies, below, should be 

viewed in this light. 

TRANSPORTATION CONTROL MEASURES 

Background 

TCMs are defined as strategies that adjust trip patterns or otherwise modify vehicle use in ways 

that reduce air pollutant emissions, and which are specifically identified and committed to in the 

2003 AQMP. TCMs are included in the AQMP as part of the overall control strategy to 

demonstrate the region’s ability to come into attainment with the NAAQS. While TCMs are 

intended to increase mobility and decrease air pollution, they play a limited role in the overall 

strategy to reduce emissions, because traffic patterns and vehicle use are dominantly driven by 

individual choices made by users of the transportation system. 

Historically, the majority of emission reductions from mobile sources have come from 

technological improvements in vehicle engines and fuel, which are stipulated by the US 

Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and the California Air Resources Board (CARB). 

By law, and according to the Transportation Conformity Rule, vehicle technology-based, fuel 

chemistry-based and fleet maintenance-based measures can not be considered to be TCMs. 

A definition of TCMs is provided in EPA’s Transportation Conformity Rule - 40 CFR Parts 51 

and 93 (August 15, 1997) <http://www.epa.gov/oms/transp/traqconf.htm>: 

Transportation control measure (TCM) is any measure that is specifically identified and 

committed to in the applicable implementation plan that is either one of the types listed in 

§108 of the CAA, 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 above, 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. 

The Rule also defines the criteria and procedures for timely implementation of TCMs as follows: 

§93.113 Criteria and procedures: Timely Implementation of TCMs 

(c) 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 
10

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.

Section 108(f)(1)(A) of the Federal Clean Air Act Amendments1

 lists the following sixteen 

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

i. Programs for improved use of public transit; 

ii. Restriction of certain roads or lanes to, or construction of such roads or lanes for use 

by, passenger buses or high occupancy vehicles; 

iii. Employer-based transportation management plans, including incentives; 

iv. Trip-reduction ordinances; 

v. Traffic flow improvement programs that achieve emission reductions; 

vi. Fringe and transportation corridor parking facilities, serving multiple occupancy 

vehicle programs or transit service; 

vii. Programs to limit or restrict vehicle use in downtown areas or other areas of emission 

concentration, particularly during periods of peak use; 

viii. Programs for the provision of all forms of high-occupancy, shared-ride services, such 

as the pooled use of vans; 

ix. 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; 

x. 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;

 See: http://www.epa.gov/oar/caa/contents.html
11

xi. Programs to control extended idling of vehicles; 

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

Act, which are caused by extreme cold start conditions; 

xiii. Employer-sponsored programs to permit flexible work schedules; 

xiv. 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; 

xv. 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 

xvi. 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 measures listed above, other measures may be considered as TCMs if they 

reduce emissions or concentrations of air pollutants from transportation sources by modifying 

vehicle use, changing traffic flow, or mitigating traffic congestion conditions. TCMs may be 

voluntary programs, incentive-based programs, regulatory programs, as well as market- or 

pricing-based programs. 

It is SCAG’s responsibility to ensure that TCM strategies are funded in a manner consistent with 

the AQMP’s implementation schedule. The transportation conformity process is designed to 

ensure timely implementation of TCM strategies, thus reinforcing the link between AQMPs and 

the transportation planning process. If the implementation of a TCM strategy is delayed, or if a 

TCM strategy is only partially implemented, areas are required to make up the shortfall by either 

substituting a new TCM strategy or by enhancing other control measures through the substitution 

process described in this Appendix. 

2003 AQMP TCMs 

The TCMs included in this Appendix are derived from the TCM projects listed in the first two 

years of the most recently approved RTIP. The RTIP is the short-range vehicle used to 

implement the goals and objectives of the long-range RTP. A list of the TCM projects can be 

found in Attachment 1of this Appendix. 

The enforceable commitment for the TCMs is to fund and implement projects and programs 

contained in the first two years of the current six-year RTIP. The remaining four years of the 

RTIP represent expectations in project scope and design only. Between the end of the RTIP and 

the year 2010, the RTP provides a sketch of the programs and projects expected to be in place by 

that date, and for which funding is anticipated to become available through the RTIP process. 
12

The TCM projects in the RTIP are based on the projects planned in the RTP, which has a time 

horizon of 20 years. A full, illustrative list of these RTP projects can be found in Appendix K of 

the 2001 RTP and Attachment 2 of this Appendix. Although the specific mix of projects to be 

funded with future RTIP dollars may ultimately change, the emission reductions anticipated, in 

aggregate, from these projects, set a key benchmark in determining the transportation sector’s 

contribution to a mobile source emission budget and its associated conformity determination. 

In the event of a conformity lapse, only Federally approved TCMs and exempt projects, in the 

first two years (fiscally constrained portion) of the most recent (currently 2002) RTIP, will be 

allowed to proceed. 

Rollover and Substitution of TCM Projects 

There are two circumstances under which the list of TCM projects in the SIP, which are 

identified by the most recent approved RTIP, will be replaced. In the first case, every time the 

RTIP is updated by action of SCAG’s Regional Council, the entire list of TCM projects in the 

AQMP/SIP will be updated, and the new and continuing projects identified in the fiscally 

constrained first two years of the new RTIP will be rolled over into the AQMP/SIP. In the 

second case, a specific TCM project may be found to be non-implementable within the 

designated time frame and a new TCM project is substituted. In either case, the parties in the 

conformity rule interagency consultation process, established in the SCAG region as the 

Transportation Conformity Working Group (TCWG), shall assess the suitability and 

implementability for the new TCM projects. Where a transportation control measure identified in 

the SIP is no longer implementable, SCAG may initiate the process described below to identify 

and adopt a new control measure. 

“Rollover” of TCM Projects (RTIP Update)

Every time the RTIP is updated, approximately every two years, the designated list of TCM 

projects in the AQMP/SIP will be replaced by the new list of TCM projects from the first two 

years of the updated RTIP. This “rollover” list will include new projects in addition to ongoing 

projects from the previous RTIP. Completed projects (projects that have completed 

construction or have service in place) will be reported as complete and removed from the list. 

The rollover list will be monitored for adherence to the schedule established in the RTIP. An 

emissions analysis, based on the latest planning assumptions, will be performed on both the 

previous TCM list and the rollover list. The identification of TCMs from the RTIP shall be 

agreed upon by both SCAG and the appropriate County Transportation Commissions (CTCs). 

The rollover substitution process may apply to any RTIP that requires a full conformity analysis 

and finding. Note that from time to time, there will be a new RTP that may require a new RTIP 

within six months of its federal approval. The timing of the new RTIP can be more frequent 

than the biennial RTIP update and the TCMs rollover substitution process shall apply in such 

cases as well. 
13

Substitution of Individual TCM Projects

The CTCs and/or project sponsors shall notify SCAG when a TCM project cannot be delivered 

or will be significantly delayed. SCAG, CTC or project sponsor can propose a substitute 

measure. The substitution of an individual measure must provide equivalent or greater 

emissions reductions than the measure being replaced in the AQMP/SIP. The substituted 

measure should preferably be located in the same geographic area and serve the same 

demographic subpopulation as the TCM it is replacing. In addition, a substitute measure must 

be fully funded and implemented in the time frame established for the measure contained in the 

SIP. Where such implementation date has already passed, a measure selected pursuant to this 

Appendix that requires transportation funding must be included in the first year of the next 

RTIP and the adopted RTP. The substitute measure must be fully implemented within two 

years of the implementation date of the original measure in order to meet the test for a finding of 

timely implementation. 

In order for SCAG to adopt substitute measures under this Appendix, there must be evidence of 

adequate authority under State or local law to implement and enforce the measures. 

Commitments to implement the substitute measures must be made by the agency with authority 

for implementation. It should be noted that the advancement of a future TCM project does not 

constitute a substitution of an existing project. 

Adoption Procedures for RTIP Rollover of TCM Projects and TCM substitution

SCAG and the CTCs will identify and evaluate possible replacement measures, both individual 

substitution and RTIP rollover measures, through its Transportation Conformity Working Group 

(TCWG), which includes members from all affected jurisdictions, federal, state and/or local air 

quality agencies and transportation agencies. 

TCM Rollover Replacement 

All measures replaced by the rollover of the RTIP must be adopted by the SCAG’s Regional 

Council, in accordance with the RTIP adoption process, as described below. 

• The Draft RTIP is reviewed by various SCAG Committees, Task Forces, and Working 

Groups, such as the standing Transportation and Communication Committee, the 

Regional Transportation Agencies Coalition (RTAC) Technical Advisory Committee, 

and the TCWG; 

• Public notification is provided through major newspapers in the affected sub-regions; 

• Draft RTIP materials are distributed, with appropriate cover letters, to approved public 

libraries and facilities and also made available on SCAG’s website for access by the 

public; 

• A series of public hearings are held, within each of the affected counties; 
14

• Input received is compiled and analyzed, and responses to comments are provided by 

SCAG Staff, and made available to the public; 

• A summary of comments received during the public comment period along with SCAG’s 

responses, following the close of the public comment period, is incorporated into the 

final RTIP document; 

• The RTIP is adopted by SCAG’s Regional Council in accordance with the state public 

notification and public comment requirements; and 

• SCAG’s adopted RTIP is submitted to the State for funding approval and to the federal 

agencies (FHWA, FTA and EPA) for final funding and conformity approval. 

• Upon federal approval of the RTIP, the new TCMs will officially rollover and replace the 

previous TCMs. 

Individual TCM Substitution 

Prior to adopting an individual TCM substitution, the measure must have been subject to 

interagency consultation (via the TCWG), public review and comment period and emissions 

analysis. It also must be subject to the SCAG Regional Council review and adoption. Upon 

adoption by the Regional Council, the new measure will replace the previous measure and 

will be incorporated into the RTIP through an administrative amendment. 

The analysis of substitute and rollover measures under this Appendix must be consistent with 

the methodology used for evaluating measures in the SIP. Where emissions models and/or 

transportation models have changed since those used for purposes of evaluating measures in the 

attainment plan, both the previous TCM and the new TCM shall be evaluated using the latest 

planning assumptions and modeling techniques in order to demonstrate consistency with the 

current SIP. 

Both in the case of the RTIP rollover and in the case of substitute measures, adoption by 

SCAG’s Regional Council will rescind the previous TCM and apply the new measures. 

SCAG will maintain documentation of all approved TCM substitutions and rollovers. The 

documentation will provide a description of the processes, including a list of the committee or 

working group members, the public hearing and comment process, and evidence of SCAG 

adoption.

As outlined in Table 3, the TCMs include the following three main categories of transportation 

improvement projects and programs. 

• High occupancy vehicle (HOV)2

 measures, 

• Transit and Systems Management measures, and 

• Information-based Transportation Strategies. 

A description of these categories is detailed below. It should be noted that the actual TCMs in 

the 2003 AQMP are the projects listed in Attachment 1of this Appendix. The categories and 

descriptions below are provided for informational purposes only. 

HOV Measures

The purpose of high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes is to relieve congestion by maximizing the 

person-carrying capacity of the roadway. This is done by reducing the number of vehicles 

needed to transport the total number of commuters to and from their place of work. One key 

strategy to incentivize the desired shift from single occupancy vehicle ridership to HOV 

ridership, is to provide one or more lanes dedicated solely to the use of such HOVs. Then, as 

congestion increases on the conventional, mixed-flow lanes, the relatively uncongested HOV 

lane appears increasingly attractive to single occupancy vehicle riders, who might then consider 

car pooling as a more desirable alternative to driving alone. This TCM explicitly replaces the 

HOV Implementation Guidelines in 40 CFR 52.263. 

The following strategies are some typical improvements that have the potential to enhance the 

effectiveness of HOV lanes: 

• Provide Park-and-Ride types of facilities at strategic locations to support potential car 

pooling for parts of the commute trip; 

• Enhance inter-modal connectivity between transit services and HOV corridors; 

 

2

 The HOV designation applies to: passenger cars with two or more passengers, van-pools, shuttles, and buses. 
17

• Change the occupancy requirements or hours of operation for use of specific HOV lane 

segments; and 

• Explore the potential of congestion pricing—in which single occupancy vehicles are 

allowed to use certain HOV lane segments upon payment of a fee—to redistribute the 

volumes of traffic away from rush hour peaks. 

HOV Measures Investment 

The 2001 RTP investment is $430 million in HOV improvement projects from 2003 through 

2010. 

Transit and Systems Management Measures

The set of interventions and strategies considered under Transit and Systems Management all 

involve a net increase in the construction and provision of physical facilities and hard 

infrastructure for modes of transportation other than single-occupancy vehicles. These strategies 

are intended to reduce congestion and air pollutant emissions. The following are some examples 

of such strategies: 

• Transit (Bus, Rail, Shuttle and Van-pool): Public transit, such as bus, rail and shuttles, is 

an alternative to the conventional and more prevalent single occupancy automobile that 

can reduce emissions by increasing the average vehicle ridership (AVR). Improvements 

to the system to increase transit ridership and decrease the reliance on single occupancy 

vehicles can be accomplished by carefully monitoring the transit routes and making 

changes where needed. Changes may include adding routes, providing better passenger 

information systems, increasing marketing efforts, and integrating transit modes for 

improved convenience. [RTP 2001:p. 58-60; 69-79] 

Vanpools are another commute strategy to decrease the use of single occupant vehicles. 

They usually operate within an organized route and schedule, and consist of seven to 

fifteen people sharing a van from fixed and designated origin and destination points, 

usually operating at limited scheduled times. The provision of seed money for the 

formation of location-specific Transportation Management Associations (TMAs) can 

benefit the transportation system as well. Such interventions allow for the creation of 

highly localized innovations, such as the organization of a shuttle service for shoppers at 

large grocery stores, or designated shuttle services to better connect downtown areas or 

special event centers to remote parking facilities. [RTP 2001:p. 65; 103] 

• Intermodal Transfer Facilities (Rail Stations, Park & Ride Lots, Bus Stations): Park-andride facilities provide a safe and convenient location for commuters to switch from single 

occupant vehicles to high occupancy modes such as bus, rail, carpools and vanpools. 

Intermodal facilities allow commuters to transfer conveniently from one mode of transit 

to another—such as, subway-to-busway stations, or busway-to-vanpool connections. 

[RTP 2001:p. 67: 104] 
18

• Non-motorized Transportation Mode Facilities (Bicycle and Pedestrian): Bicycle and 

pedestrian facilities encourage bicycle and pedestrian travel by increasing sidewalks, 

paths, and crosswalks. Other measures may include enhanced protection from fast 

vehicular traffic, pedestrian-activated traffic signals and the shading of walkways and bus 

stops.3 [RTP 2001:p. 68; 105-106] 

Transit Investments 

The 2001 RTP public investment in transit facilities is $3.281 billion from 2003 through 

2010. This includes all fixed-route bus service (including local, express, rapid bus), light rail 

service, and commuter rail and Metrolink service. [RTP 2001:p. 79-86] 

SCAG’s Transportation and Communications Committee (TCC) adopted the goal of 

maintaining a 1997 per capita ridership levels through the planning horizon of the 2001 RTP. 

The modeling analysis conducted for the 2001 RTP shows that, by 2025, the RTP actually 

exceeds this goal. 

SCAG’s Regional Transit Task Force has identified the following specific actions to enhance 

transit services [RTP 2001:p. 85-86]: 

• Transit Service Management actions 

• Transit Demand Management actions 

• Growth Management actions 

• Institutional actions 

Intermodal Transfer Facilities Investment 

The Park and Ride Lots and Intermodal Transfer Facilities intervention shares investment 

with Transportation Demand Management (TDM) strategies. The 2001 RTP investment in 

TDM strategies is 76 million dollars from 2003 through 2010. There is no applicable 

performance criteria defined in the 2001 RTP for this intervention. 

Non-motorized Transportation Mode Facilities Investment 

The 2001 RTP investment in non-motorized (bicycle and pedestrian) facilities is $210 

million, from 2003 through 2010. The following Actions are included in the 2001 RTP 

[p.105-106]: 

• Determine the potential and desired mode split of non-motorized modes in congestion 

reduction and adopt vision, goals and objectives accordingly. 

 

3

 It should be noted, however, that increases in bicycle and pedestrian traffic may not, in themselves, result in some 

corresponding reduction in motorized work trips, but might simply reflect increases in recreational or health-oriented 

usage of the system, induced by the provision of the facilities in the first place. Although there are real societal benefits 

to increases in bicycling and walking, the environmental and air quality benefits may be more tenuous. 
19

• Determine the ability of the existing non-motorized system to achieve the desired vision, 

goals, objectives and update and implement the existing SCAG regional plan as 

appropriate. 

• Identify and develop strategies to address institutional, transportation, funding, 

infrastructure and other barriers to the effective use of non-motorized transportation for 

commute purposes. 

• Identify strategies to link non-motorized transportation funding programs to standards for 

Livable Communities and transit programs by providing communities flexibility in how 

they address Livable Communities goals and programs. 

• Fund the development and implementation of pedestrian and bicycle safety and education 

programs aimed at persons of all ages, potential bike commuters and motorists. 

• Sponsor legislation and/or ordinances to increase the enforcement of bicycling and 

driving laws to provide a safer climate for pedestrians and cyclists. 

• Develop and implement bicycle incentive programs that recognize and reward employees 

for bicycle use similar to those that reward transit use 

• Introduce legislation that provides for business tax credits and other incentives to 

encourage the use of bicycles. 

Information-based Measures

Unlike the measures discussed above, which all rely on the construction, provision and 

maintenance of substantial physical facilities, or hard infrastructure, the information-based 

interventions rely primarily on the provision of information as the root intervention. Improving 

the information content of the transportation system, without the construction of additional 

capital facilities and hard infrastructure, has been shown to affect the travel behavior and mode 

choices of consumers in ways that benefit the overall regional transportation system. These 

improvements reduce congestion and mitigate air pollution, as well as other adverse 

environmental impacts of transportation activity. 

Access to better and more timely data— for both transportation system managers and individual 

users —changes the ways in which the system is used, and has been shown to result in individual 

transportation decisions that improve some of the adverse impacts of growth in transportation 

activity. 

Information-based measures offer innovative ways of reducing vehicle congestion and 

emissions, especially when combined with system management strategies, facility 

improvements, and service enhancements, as well as coordinated outreach campaigns. Some 

examples of such information-based measures relevant to the SCAG Region and to the Basin 

are: 
20

• Rideshare Services and Transit Marketing: The RTIP programs and implements the 

marketing of information services for employers and activity centers, to encourage the 

sharing of rides (vanpools and carpools) and the use of transit system as a means of 

increasing the average vehicular ridership (AVR) rates. Large employment centers may 

be targeted for programs that support and market transit services, such as the sale of 

transit passes and the availability of transit schedule information. 

• Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS): ITS projects employ a variety of technologies 

to improve the performance of transportation systems. ITS projects include the Smart 

Corridors Management Program, which promotes the efficient use of existing highway 

and transit systems, reducing congestion and air pollution while enhancing safety and 

mobility. Implemented technologies may also include improvements to signal 

synchronization, transit operations management and interagency coordination. In 

addition, Urban Freeway System Management incorporates traffic flow strategies that 

help alleviate congestion and reduce air pollutant emissions. Such strategies usually 

include advanced technologies such as vehicle detectors, closed circuit TV cameras and 

ramp meters which are part of an ITS which improves the efficiency of the freeway 

system. 

• Telecommunication Facilities/Satellite Work Centers: Telecommunication Facilities and 

Satellite Work Centers are defined as working at an alternate work location and 

communicating with the usual place of work using electronic or other means, instead of 

physically traveling to the work site. It is a strategy used to reduce VMT by employees 

who would otherwise travel to and from work. 

• Transportation Demand Management (TDM: These strategies generally refer to policies, 

programs and actions that are directed towards decreasing the use of single occupant 

vehicles during peak load hours. TDMs can also include activities to encourage a shifting 

or spreading of peak travel periods. 

Rideshare Services and Transit Marketing Investment 

The 2001 RTP investment in rideshare services is 82 million dollars from 2003 through 

2010. This strategy also shares investment with TDM strategies, which is 76 million dollars 

from 2003 through 2010 in the 2001 RTP. 

The following Actions are contained in the 2001 RTP [p. 102-104]: 

• Formalize and expand the existing partnership among public and private sector 

stakeholders to improve delivery of vanpool services regionwide. 

• Increase the number of commuter vanpools from 2,000 to 5,000 through more 

effective marketing and provision of non-monetary public sector initiatives. 

• Establish a dedicated funding source for planning and the implementation of vanpool 

programs and services. 
21

• Improve the provision of vanpool services in the Region through the public sector's 

increase of dedicated staffing and resources. 

• Facilitate and regionally coordinate marketing strategy among the public and private 

sectors that would enhance vanpool programs, increase ridership and unify the 

current limited and fragmented outreach efforts. 

• Support the maintenance of the existing carpool market share and an increase in 

carpooling (increase of 8,000 carpoolers per year beyond existing levels). 

• Continue to support funding for education and outreach to the general public in order 

to increase awareness and participation in carpooling and vanpooling. 

Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Investment 

The 2001 RTP investment in ITS is approximately 221 million dollars from 2003 through 

2010. The following Action is contained in the 2001 RTP (p. 107): 

ITS, where applicable, shall be included in, and implemented through, 

mainstream planning and programming processes. And, where feasible and 

applicable, ITS should be incorporated as an operational component, in the 

design and construction of new federally funded facilities, or in the procurement 

processes for new equipment, consistent with the requirements of the National 

Architecture rule. 

The measure designated as ATT-05 in the 1997 AQMP assumed a 5% improvement in 

roadway capacity due to the implementation of ITS projects. However, it is clear, today, that 

the 5% assumption was conservative and will likely be exceeded by the 2010 date. The 5% 

increase in capacity for ITS was an assumption based upon a national Peer Review meeting 

that SCAG hosted in 1998. The assumption was based upon a recognition that the 

transportation model being used at that time failed to fully account for changes due to 

operational improvements. This assumption allowed for a capacity increase on the 

speed/flow curve to "mimic" the ITS effects in modeling. Today, a new generation of 

analytic tools is available, which may allow a better estimation of ITS benefits for very 

specific measures, and SCAG expects to refine its ability to track and monitor ITS 

investments in a more realistic way. 

The Preliminary Draft Statewide Traffic Management System (TMS) Plan reports up to a 

50% loss of throughput due to congestion, and an ability of ITS operational improvements to 

reduce total State Highway system congestion by 20%, through operational ITS measures 

used to restore lost capacity to the system. In addition, and for the first time, new software 

products give SCAG a means of estimating emissions reductions from non-recurrent ITSbased safety improvements, and then quantifying such improvements using the most recent 

version of California’s mobile source emission factor model (EMFAC2002). 
22

Telecommuting Investment 

The investment in telecommuting shares investment with TDM strategies, which is $76 

million from 2003 to 2010. The 2001 RTP further targets a 6.8% decrease in 2010 home to 

work trips from 1990 levels. 

According to 1990 Census data, there were 6,844,948 workers in the SCAG region and 2.7% 

of these workers worked at home or telecommuted, which translates to approximately 

185,000 workers. The 2001 RTP provides a projection of 8,779,000 workers in the SCAG 

region by 2010 and approximately 7.9% [RTP Community Link 21, Technical Appendix 

Vol.3 of 3, P. J-9] of the work force will be either telecommuting or working at home. This 

translates into a reduction of approximately 693,500 commuter home-to-work trips. That is 

to say, approximately 508,500 additional workers will be taken “off the road” between 1990 

and 2010 due to telecommuting and work-at-home incentives. In other words, the 2001 RTP 

implementation could result in an increase in working at home between 1990 and 2010 by as 

much as 7.4% of 1990 workers. Actions considered under this measure would include, but 

not be limited to: 

• Continue working with interagency working groups to finalize the design of an 

emission trading pilot program based on telecommuting. 

• Pursue an aggressive education and public outreach program, particularly at work 

sites with less than 250 employees. This may include a program to generate tax 

deductions for emissions reduced. 

• Consider an emissions trading program that would allow employers not regulated by 

Rule 2202, as well as those that are, to trade telecommute credits for reaching average 

vehicle ridership (AVR) goals. 

Transportation Demand Management Investment 

The 2001 RTP investment in TDM improvements is 76 million dollars from 2003 through 

2010 in the 2001 RTP. In order to allow maximum flexibility and effectiveness in 

implementing these strategies, the specific breakdown of investment, by program component, 

is left to the discretion of the local or sub-regional implementing agencies—in this case the 

CTCs. 

It has been argued that one of the reasons individuals choose to drive to a particular 

destination, often alone, is that they may lack convenient access to information about 

alternative modes to travel, such as buses and subways, or bicycle routes. Then, internetbased or kiosk-type automated transit trip planning systems, such as SCAG’s TranStar 

<http://www.scag.ca.gov/transit/> and the prototype Travel Advisory News Network 

(TANN) <http://www.tann.com/>, may successfully influence an individual’s decision to use 

public transit instead of an automobile—whether by making the unfamiliar transit trip more 

transparent in terms of schedule and route information, or by underscoring the level of 

congestion on freeways and arterials and thus making transit seem more attractive by 
23

comparison. The use of such systems may also defer a particular trip to a non-peak hour 

time, thus reducing congestion and its associated adverse air quality impacts. 

Information-based interventions, such as Transportation Demand Management (TDM) 

projects, are managed by the Southern California Economic Partnership (the Partnership) 

<http://www.the-partnership.org/index.htm> The Partnership was founded several years ago 

in a collaborative effort by SCAG, Caltrans and SCAQMD to help in their joint objectives of 

developing and fostering new technologies that make significant contributions to the 

achievement of traffic congestion and mobile source emission reduction goals. The 

Partnership is overseen by an 18 member board of directors made up of representatives from 

both the public and private sectors including a representative from SCAG, SCAQMD, 

Caltrans and the CTCs. The Partnership is overseeing the implementation of a wide variety 

of innovative and cutting-edge projects. 

In addition, SCAG’s Regional Council has established a Regional Transportation Demand 

Management Task Force (RTDM), comprising of elected officials and planners throughout 

the Region. This Task Force reviews and recommends specific actions to make TDM 

measures more effective within the Region. 

Other potential actions to reduce congestion and emissions through information-induced 

changes in individual travel-related decision making include: 

• promoting multi-modal strategies to maximize all options available to commuters; 

• targeting peak period trips for reduction; 

• marketing and promoting the use of HOV lanes to the general public; 

• marketing and promoting rail lines to the general public; 

• educating the public regarding cost, locations, accessibility and services available at 

park and ride lots; 

• promoting and marketing vanpool formation and incentive programs; 

• promoting ride-matching through the internet and other means of making alternative 

travel option information more accessible to the general public. 

Relation of Current TCM Components To Previous Plans 

The TCM components listed in this document are consistent with the TCM elements proposed in 

previous plans. The components specified in the current TCM replace all components contained 

in previous AQMPs and their resultant SIP elements. 

The TCM strategy in the 2003 AQMP meets the anti-backsliding requirements of Section 110(l) 

of the Clean Air Act (CAA). This Section of the Clean Air Act restricts EPA’s ability to 
24

approve state actions that weaken the California SIP. Therefore, the requirements must 

strengthen the SIP and not interfere with an applicable requirement under the CAA. All TCM 

commitments from previous AQMPs have been implemented and documentation is provided in 

the Timely Implementation Reports of the 1996, 1998, 2000, 2001 and 2002 RTIPs. The TCMs 

in the 2003 AQMP continue SCAG’s TCM commitment and the TCM status will be reported in 

the Timely Implementation Reports of subsequent RTIPs. 

The 1997 AQMP (as amended in 1999) listed five advanced transportation technology measures 

(ATT-01 through ATT-05) which were not considered to be TCMs, but were included as part of 

the Region’s overall transportation control strategy. Two of these measures, ATT-03, Zero 

Emission Vehicles, and ATT-04, Alternative Fuel Vehicles, have been eliminated from the 2003 

AQMP because vehicle technology and alternative fuels are not TCMs, by definition. 

ATT-01, ATT-02 and ATT-05, focused on Telecommunications, Advanced Shuttle Transit and 

Intelligent Transportation Systems, respectively. In an effort to reduce redundancy, the 

measures described under ATT-02 have been consolidated into Transit and Systems 

Management Measures. Similarly, the measures described under ATT-01 and ATT-05 have 

been consolidated into Information-based Measures. 

The 1994 AQMP lists one TCM, comprising various specific strategies, along with a number of 

Indirect Source Rules (ISRs). Substantial progress has been made in implementing these 

measures, and the region remains committed to assuring continued implementation.

In addition to the TCM strategies specified above, indirect source measures were also considered 

as TCMs in the 1994 AQMP, and were planned for District rule development. However, the 

legislature removed the legal authority to implement the following measures. 

Table 5 

Indirect Source Controls – 1994 AQMP 

ISR 1. Special Event Centers Legislative authority removed 

(H&S 40717.8, 1994) 

ISR 2. Regional Shopping Centers Legislative authority removed 

(H&S 40717.6, 1995) 

ISR 3. Registration and Commercial Vehicles Legislative authority removed

ISR 6. Enhanced Rule 1501 Legislative authority removed 

(H&S 40717.9, 1995) 

ISR 7. Parking Cash-Out Legislative authority removed 

(H&S 40717.9, 1995)

A key step in the 1994 AQMP was the proposal for the formation of the Southern California 

Economic Partnership (SCEP, or Partnership), intended to help develop many of the innovative 

and conceptual projects envisioned at that time. It should be noted that the Partnership has been 

established as an active and effective entity, and is vigorously pursuing these and other projects. 

These include: Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), Smart Shuttles, Telecommunications, 

Telecommuting Support, Alternative Fuel Vehicle Support and Voluntary Emission Reduction 

Program, the Clean Cities Program, and the Travel Advisory News Network (TANN) Project. 

For more details see: http://www.the-partnership.org/index.htm. 

ENFORCEABILITY, MONITORING AND FUNDING 

The TCM strategies contained in, and implemented as part of, the current AQMP are expected to 

be real, quantifiable, and enforceable. The region’s long-range transportation blueprint, its RTP, 

and the shorter-term programming used to fund the improvements, the RTIP, together form the 

foundation and the key stone for improving transportation system performance while at the same 

time assuring the timely attainment of air quality goals within the Basin. Assessing the 

consistency of emission reductions deriving from these mobility strategies against the 

corresponding mobile source emission budgets contained in the applicable SIP elements, serves 

as the basis for determining reasonable further progress, and provides the information needed in 

assuring the timely implementation of each component of the set of TCM strategies described in 

this document. 

TCM Enforceability and Monitoring 

The federally funded projects and programs that make up the RTP and the RTIP form the basis 

for assuring an enforceable commitment for each specified element of the TCM. Federal law 

requires that funding priority be given to TCMs in developing the RTIP. Therefore, the report 

on the timely implementation of the TCM strategies will continue to serve as one of the methods 

of monitoring the air quality impacts of transportation system improvements. In addition, based 

on the methodology developed by Caltrans and currently in use by all rideshare agencies 

throughout the state, an annual survey to assess changes in travel behavior will be conducted. 

SCAG’s own State of the Region Commute, though focused on a larger geographic area than just 

the Basin, also provides information in tracking progress. 

The 2002 RTIP provides for timely implementation of the TCM strategies for the Basin. The 

RTIP is a short-term document covering six years, and it must be updated at least every two 

years. As the RTIP is revised, the list of fiscally constrained projects for which funding has been 

identified, will be updated. The EPA Transportation Conformity Rule states that timely 

implementation is to be measured against the TCM strategies in the applicable implementation 

plan. 

The enforceable commitment for TCM measures is to report on the funding and implementation 

of the first two years of the six-year RTIP. The list of fiscally constrained projects will advance, 

or “roll forward”, and the enforceable commitment will automatically be revised to encompass 

the first 2 years of the constrained projects contained in each new RTIP. The implementation 
27

status of TCM projects is reported on in subsequent RTIPs until the TCM projects have been 

reported as completed. In projecting the long-term (2005, 2010, 2020, etc.) impacts which could 

be ascribed to this measure in the Plan, however, the facilities proposed to be built in the longterm timeframe, and programs as they exist today, serve as the basis for modeling travel and 

emission impacts. 

TCM Funding 

Table 6, below, summarizes the appropriate sources of funding for each component of the TCM 

strategies, providing a basis for ensuring enforceability. Public funding mechanisms, such as the 

process by which County Transportation Commissions (CTCs) program funds into the RTIP, are 

part of the procedure by which the accountability of the regional transportation infrastructure is 

assured.

Private funding, which contributes to the creation or acceleration of markets, is also an important 

component in ensuring that implementation actions occur. Although other technologies may 

necessitate refinements in institutional mechanisms to assess market predictability, the 

fundamental components for managing markets are taken to already exist. Marketing studies, 

such as those performed for rideshare programs, van-pool surveys, and other statistical data may 

be used to track such market trends. Review or oversight panels such as the Mobile Source 

Review Committee (MSRC) have also, historically, served an important role in helping link 

market trends to funding sources, and have helped manage private and public sector needs and 

expectations. 

Public approval processes, such as those which direct local city and county agencies, have long 

provided surety in the on-going accountability of planning actions. Further details on specific 

enforceability mechanisms is provided in the discussion of specific measures. 
28

It is important to note that each iteration of the RTP and RTIP provide increased implementation 

definition for the region’s transportation system. Thus, further details and action plans for the 

implementation of the transportation strategy will be incorporated into the next RTP scheduled 

for adoption in June 2004.

Reasonably Available Control Measure (RACM) 

Analysis 
63

1. Introduction 

Background

Section 172(c)(1) of the 1977 Clean Air Act requires State Implementation Plans (SIPs) 

to provide for the implementation of all reasonably available control measures (RACM) 

as expeditiously as practicable. Guidance on interpreting RACM requirements in the 

context of the 1990 Amendments was set forth in the General Preamble (57 FR 13498, 

13560) in 1992. In the General Preamble, EPA interpreted section 172(c)(1) as imposing 

a duty on States to consider all available control measures and to adopt and implement 

measures that are reasonably available for implementation in a specific nonattainment 

area. It also retained an earlier interpretation of RACM that it would not be reasonable to 

require the implementation of measures that do not advance the date for attainment. 

With regard to transportation control measures (TCMs), EPA revised earlier guidance by 

indicating that it is inappropriate to presume that all section 108(f) measures are available 

in all nonattainment areas. Instead, States should consider 108(f) measures as potential 

options that are not exhaustive but indicative of the types of measures that should be 

considered. In addition any measure identified as reasonably available during the public 

comment period should also be considered for implementation. EPA indicated that States 

could reject measures as not reasonably available for reasons related to local conditions. 

States are required to justify why available measures were not considered RACM and not 

adopted in the SIP. Valid reasons for rejecting a measure include that it would not 

advance the attainment date, it is economically infeasible or it is technologically 

infeasible. It should be noted that TCMs in the South Coast Air Basin (Basin) are 

yielding fewer emission reductions over time because of technological advances of 

vehicle fleets, and in the future may not significantly advance the attainment date. 

In 1999, EPA issued a memorandum entitled “Guidance on the Reasonably Available 

Control Measures (RACM) Requirement and Attainment Demonstration Submissions for 

Ozone Nonattainment Areas.” In this memorandum by John Sietz, Director, Office of 

Air Quality Planning and Standards, EPA states that in order to determine whether a state 

has adopted all RACM necessary for attainment and as expeditiously as practicable, the 

state must explain why the selected implementation schedule is the earliest schedule 

based on circumstances of the area. Claims that indicate more time is needed for 

implementation should be “specifically grounded in evidence of economic or technologic 

infeasibility. Sources of potentially reasonable measures include measures adopted in 

other nonattainment areas and measures that EPA has identified in guidelines or other 

documents.” 
64

Approach

Several steps are needed to respond to the RACM requirements articulated in the EPA 

guidance described above. First is a description of the process by which SCAG and 

related transportation agencies in the South Coast identify, review and make enforceable 

commitments to implement TCMs. That process was established in the 1994 AQMP/SIP 

(Air Quality Management Plan/State Implementation Plan) by replacing a process that 

developed TCMs each time a SIP was produced with a continuous ongoing TCM 

process. This process continues to govern the selection and implementation of TCMs. 

Second is the assembly of a list of control measures recently implemented in other ozone 

nonattainment areas. This effort involved a review of measures implemented in 

California nonattainment areas as well those located in Arizona and Texas and the 

organization of those measures in the 16 categories specified in section 108(f) of the 

Clean Air Act. The third step is to contrast the list of available 108(f) measures with 

measures implemented to date in the Basin as well as any new commitments in the 

current AQMP. The fourth step is to provide a reasoned justification for any of the 

available measures that have yet to be implemented. These justifications must address 

criteria described in the above-cited guidance. The fifth and final step is to commit to 

improvements in the ongoing TCM selection process to increase the frequency of 

consideration. This step is needed to ensure that TCM selection and implementation is a 

routine consideration in the coming years as the South Coast Air Quality Management 

District (AQMD) works to identify those measures needed to ensure attainment by 2010. 

Organization

This Introduction provides a review of EPA RACM guidance and outlines an approach 

for satisfying RACM requirements in TCM selection for this AQMP. Section 2 describes 

the process established in the 1994 AQMP and followed to select and implement TCMs. 

A summary of the measures implemented to date is presented in Section 3. Section 4 

provides a reasoned justification for not selecting available measures. Section 5 presents 

a commitment to modify the Sub-regional planning process to increase the frequency of 

TCM consideration. 

2. TCM Process 

The Southern California Association of Governments utilizes a participatory planning 

process to continuously implement all reasonably available transportation control 

measures. This ongoing process provides opportunities for agencies, stakeholders, and 

the general public to offer transportation control measures, and supplies mechanisms to 

evaluate and implement all reasonable measures as expeditiously as practicable. 
65

Background

Historically, the process to ensure implementation of all reasonably available control 

measures was an episodic exercise in southern California that was performed each time 

an AQMP/SIP was produced. The old process was ineffective and inflexible. For 

instance, obsolete TCM projects, such as projects that were federally defunded, remained 

in the SIP for years (e.g. from 1979-1994) because there was not an ongoing and 

effective method for updating and substituting effective measures. 

The 1994 AQMP, in contrast, established a more adaptive and effective process. The 

1994 AQMP established a TCM process that “is dynamic in that it changes over time to 

respond to evolving conditions” [AQMP Appendix IV-C1994: p. I-3]. The adaptive 

management process established in the 1994 AQMP has become fully integrated into the 

transportation planning process at both the local and the regional level, and the TCM 

process and RACM analysis run concurrently, rather than consecutively, with the 

transportation planning process. Since the 1994 AQMP, the TCM planning process has 

become an integral part of transportation and air quality planning in the South Coast. 

Process Overview

TCMs are continuously identified and reviewed throughout the transportation planning 

process, and SCAG’s ongoing public outreach effort, including an involved interagency 

input process, helps ensure that the process to identify and review TCMs is inclusive and 

comprehensive. Development of TCMs arises from multiple processes and multiple 

sources, which include county transportation commissions, sub-regional agencies, task 

forces, committees, and the public. Project sponsors within each process have a strong 

incentive to develop and help identify TCMs because “TCMs require priority of funding” 

and receive “special claims on CMAQ and STP funds” [RTIP FY 2002/03-07/08 

Guidelines 2001: p. 20]. Furthermore, TCMs are assured “timely implementation in 

accordance with the schedule in the RTP” [p. 20]. These funding and scheduling 

incentives ensure that TCMs are developed, sponsored, and clearly identified throughout 

the process. 

The 1994 AQMP established the flexibility to delegate and substitute the implementation 

of TCMs. Specifically, TCMs can be delegated to “another agency with the legal 

authority” in order to offer “greater flexibility” for implementation [AQMP Appendix 

IV-C 1994: p. I-11]. This inclusive process allows “local governments to develop their 

own strategies” [AQMP Appendix IV-C1994: p. I-3]. Likewise, substitution allows 

subregions and local government to “achieve specific emission reduction equivalents” 

that are “uniquely suited” to fit local needs [p. I-11]. 

The discussion below outlines the multiple processes and entities involved in the TCM 

planning process. 
66

County Transportation Commissions

County Transportation Commissions (CTCs) develop and/or nominate many TCMs and 

program the funding for all of the TCMs that are included in the Regional Transportation 

Improvement Plan (RTIP). CTCs must follow the RTIP Guidelines when preparing their 

lists of transportation improvements. The RTIP Guidelines state that “the RTIP is 

required to advance the RTP by programming the projects, programs, and policies 

contained in the Plan, in accordance with federal and state requirements” [RTIP FY 

2002/03-07/08 Guidelines 2001: p. 3]. As stated above, the RTIP Guidelines ensure that 

“TCMs require priority of funding (with special claim on Congestion Mitigation and Air 

Quality Improvement Program (CMAQ) and Surface Transportation Program (STP) 

funds), as well as timely implementation in accordance with the schedule in the RTP” 

[RTIP FY 2002/03-07/08 Guidelines 2001: p. 20].The discussion below outlines the 

process used by Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority, the Orange 

County Transportation Authority, the San Bernardino Associated Governments, and the 

Riverside County Transportation Commission to develop their lists of transportation 

projects for each update of the RTIP and Regional Transportation Plan (RTP). 

Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority 

The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) begins its 

Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) process with a call for projects. The call for 

projects process meets federal and state planning and programming requirements for 

developing an integrated, multi-modal transportation system. The TIP process allocates 

revenues across all surface transportation modes based on the planning requirements of 

the 1998 Transportation Equity Act of the Twenty-first Century (TEA-21). The Call for 

Projects also addresses MTA’s mandated responsibilities to the California Transportation 

Commission regarding the programming of the State TIP. There is a local match 

requirement that varies depending on the modal category and a public hearing before the 

MTA board officially adopts the TIP. 

TCM projects are prioritized throughout MTA’s process. In general, projects are 

evaluated based on three criteria: Project need and purpose (50%), cost effectiveness 

(30%), and project readiness (20%). Thus, TCM projects that are useful, economically 

feasible, and that are ready to be implemented in the near-term receive priority of funding 

and scheduling. 

Orange County Transportation Authority 

Cities in Orange County propose projects to the Orange County Transportation Authority 

(OCTA) through a call for projects. OCTA identifies, reviews, and prioritizes TCM 

projects based on recommendations from a technical committee comprised of city 

representatives. Efficient and effective TCMs are moved forward into Orange County’s 

long range plans, the RTP, and implemented in the RTIP. 
67

Riverside County Transportation Commission 

The Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) begins its process with a call 

for projects. A technical advisory committee, comprised of the public works managers 

and city planners identify and review TCMs and decide which projects to fund. TCM 

projects receive priority for funding and implementation, with specific evaluation criteria 

including: air quality improvement, congestion mitigation, economic development, and 

project readiness. 

San Bernardino Associated Governments 

The San Bernardino Associated Governments (SANBAG) uses Caltrans guidelines in 

programming transportation funds. In general, evaluation criteria include emissions 

reduction cost effectiveness (40%), mobility benefits (30%), safety improvements (20%), 

and local match contributions (10%), and all reasonable TCM projects receive priority 

for funding and scheduling. 

Sub-regional Coordination and Regional Transportation Planning for Air Quality 

Management

The Sub-regional Coordinators Group is an important part of SCAG’s participatory 

planning process, and assists in balancing regional needs and prospects against local 

constraints and opportunities. Established in 1990, at the initiative of the sub-regions, the 

Group comprises administrators from Councils of Governments (COGs) and cities within 

the region, and assists SCAG in the design and implementation of its administrative and 

programmatic tasks within realistic fiscal and local constraints. 

The sub-regions help incorporate community input into the development, identification, 

review, and substitution of TCMs. The sub-regions and local governments nominate 

transportation policies, programs and projects, including effective and efficient TCM 

projects, for inclusion in the long-range RTP. The sub-regions also define the 

architecture of the short-range RTIP, deliberating the more immediate steps needed for 

implementation of the RTP. SCAG then synthesizes these projects, programs and 

policies into a regionally coherent transportation strategy, and assesses the environmental 

and equity consequences for the region as a whole. 

Sub-regional Air Quality Planning 

The Clean Air Act requires that regions not in attainment of the NAAQS demonstrate 

progress toward conformity by, in part, designating specific projects and policies as 

TCMs. The continuous process by which SCAG and its sub-regions conceive, consider, 

select and implement particular projects as TCMs is importantly shaped by the Subregional Coordinators Group. SCAG’s TCM portion of the 1994 Air Quality 

Management Plan provided a comprehensive analysis of a wide range of projects, 

policies and programs available to the region in its move toward a healthful environment. 
68

Subsequent RTPs and their RTIPs have progressively moved the region forward in 

implementing these measures. 

In 2000, SCAG formed a Sub-regional Air Quality Planning, Analysis and Modeling 

Group (SAQ-PAM), comprised of representatives from SCAG’s fourteen sub-regions, to 

ensure that all possible efforts were being made to mitigate the air quality impacts of 

transportation. As part of the 2001 RTP development process, this group oversaw an 

extensive off-model analysis effort to capture the air quality benefits of local projects 

such as grade separation and traffic signalization. Members of the group play a 

significant and effective role in conveying to local governments the magnitude of the task 

faced by the region, and the pressing regional need for innovative solutions, and also in 

ensuring that local concerns are usefully integrated into the regional planning process.

Integrated TCM Planning for RTP Updates 

The county and sub-region planning processes described above are continuously 

integrated into each Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) update, and all reasonable 

TCMs are included in each update of the RTP. The discussion below outlines the 

participatory process for each RTP update since the 1994 AQMP. 

1998 Regional Transportation Plan 

The 1998 RTP promoted a bottom-up planning process that enhanced public participation 

and incorporated feedback throughout the planning process. There was extensive 

participation from the public, the County Transportation Commissions (CTCs), other 

agencies, such as the California Department of Transportation (CALTRANs) and transit 

agencies, and the sub-regional agencies. 

The 1998 RTP marked the first time that SCAG conducted public participation with the 

fourteen sub-regions, which SCAG organized in the mid 1990s to help increase public 

participation and to provide local discretion of funding decisions. 

 

Public involvement in the 1998 RTP featured sub-regional participation through monthly 

RTP Sub-regional Advisory Committee meetings and meetings of the Los Angeles 

County Sub-regional Working Group. SCAG also conducted monthly meetings with the 

CTCs. With enhanced public participation, participation of sub-regions and CTCs, as 

well as interagency consultations, SCAG was able to incorporate input and feedback on 

its goals, objectives, performance indicators, needs analysis, revenue forecast, and 

preliminary growth forecast. This input aided in the preparation and review of the Draft 

RTP and assisted in the eventual adoption of the 1998 Regional Transportation Plan.

2001 Regional Transportation Plan 

SCAG built upon its public participation record in the 1998 RTP with the 2001 RTP. The 

2001 RTP public participation and outreach program included: 

• Presentations to established organizations 

• Specific public workshops 

• Electronic Town Halls 

• Direct outreach to minority and low-income populations 

• Transportation Summit 

• Business roundtable forums with representatives of the business community 

• Newsletters, fact sheets, and Power Point presentations 

• Public comment form (hard copy and online) 

• Community contact databases 

• Direct mail and electronic mail to community contacts 

• Webpage for the Draft 2001 RTP, including public meeting notices and updated RTP 

information (in English and Spanish) 

• Advertising of Environmental Justice community dialogues in ethnic media 

• Advertising support for the RTP and Environmental Impact Report (EIR) 

Another important aspect of the public participation process was input from elected 

officials, the public, experts in the field, and government agencies through specially 

designed task forces. There were twelve task forces, as well as the subregional 

coordinators’ group, which supported the 2001 RTP. Descriptions of the task forces and 

the agencies participating on the task forces are listed below: 

• Aviation Task Force = This task force made recommendations to SCAG staff and 

the Transportation and Communications Committee regarding aviation in the SCAG 

region. Its membership consisted of elected officials, the Federal Airline 

Administration (FAA), airline companies, airport authorities, and airport-related 

associations. 

• Four Corners Task Force = Elected officials, city staff, the Orange County 

Transportation Authority (OCTA), Caltrans, and San Bernardino Associated 

Governments (SANBAG) developed a preferred strategy and implementation plan for 

the part of the region where Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Riverside, and Orange 

Counties meet. 

• Goods Movement Advisory Committee = This committee, comprised of elected 

officials, Caltrans, economic development agencies, railroad companies, goods 

transport companies, ports, airports, and private consultants, provided policy 

guidance in developing a more efficient goods movement system including 

improvements to the ports, trucking and rail systems, intermodal terminal access, and 

freight. 

• Heavy Duty Truck Model Subcommittee = This subcommittee reviewed the heavy 

duty truck model that is part of SCAG’s transportation model. Members included 

Caltrans, the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), the Federal Highway 
71

Administration (FHWA), South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD), 

the ports, the California Air Resources Board (CARB), and the CTCs. 

• Long Range Transportation Finance Task Force = The CTCs, FTA, FHWA, 

American Automobile Association (AAA), the Los Angeles Department of 

Transportation (LADOT), and private consultants identified transportation funding 

gaps and identified new transportation funding opportunities. 

• Maglev Task Force = Elected officials on this task force made recommendations on 

corridors for a potential high speed rail system. 

• Modeling Task Force = Elected officials, private consultants, nonprofit 

organizations, SCAQMD, CTCs, CARB, and city staff worked to develop an 

improved regional transportation model. 

• Regional Transit Task Force = Transportation agencies, FTA, FHWA, and city staff 

developed transit alternatives to retain existing mode share and increase overall 

transit mode share with innovative strategies. 

• RTP Technical Advisory Committee = This committee reviewed and coordinated 

recommendations from the various task forces. It also developed methodologies for 

the RTP alternatives and reviewed performance measures used in the RTP. Members 

included FTA, FHWA, Caltrans, AAA, CTCs, city staff, transportation planning 

consultants, Indian Tribes, subregions, and SCAQMD. 

• Transit Corridor Task Force = Transit agencies and city staff reviewed and 

recommended transit corridors for inclusion in the RTP. 

• Truck Lane Technical Advisory Committee = This committee provided technical 

expertise to the Truck Lanes Task Force in the development of the SR-60 truck lane 

feasibility study. Members included Caltrans, California Highway Patrol (CHP), 

CARB, SCAQMD, private consultants, unions, and transportation associations. 

• Truck Lanes Task Force = This task force oversaw SR-60 truck lane feasibility 

study. It was composed of elected officials, Caltrans, nonprofit organizations, private 

consultants, AAA, and CTCs. 

Through these efforts, SCAG created numerous opportunities for public comment and 

numerous ways for the public to comment. The public participation program resulted in 

the following: 

• 78 Public Workshops and/or Organizational Presentations 

• 41 Environmental Justice Community Dialogues 

• 2 Electronic Town Halls focusing on transportation finance and goods movement, 

respectively 

• 3 Business Roundtable Forums 

• 1 Transportation Summit 

• 1 E-Commerce Summit 

• 8 Fact sheets on individual topics of the RTP 

• 1,500 public comments on the RTP 

• 585,000 “hits” on the public website, including 30,308 unique users 

2004 Regional Transportation Plan 
72

SCAG continues to refine its public participation strategy as it develops the 2004 RTP. 

SCAG staff representing major programs meets bimonthly as part of the coordinated 

outreach strategy. This group has created a unified message that is being presented 

through presentations about all major programs, including the RTP, Compass Growth 

Visioning, and the Program Environmental Impact Report (PEIR). This group has 

reviewed for accuracy and consistency unified presentation materials that maximize 

SCAG’s ability to outreach to the public at many events. 

SCAG senior management, program staff, and governmental affairs staff use these 

outreach materials in presentations across the region. Cerrell Associates, SCAG’s media 

consultant, also is involved in the coordinated outreach strategy and relays the outreach 

information to various media outlets. SCAG consultants discuss the RTP, Compass 

growth visioning, and the PEIR in their public visioning exercises and workshops. 

In addition to the Sub-regional Coordinators’ Group, there are thirteen task forces that 

support the 2004 RTP. The task forces are listed below, with descriptions provided for 

new task forces developed since the 2001 RTP. 

• Aviation Task Force 

• Aviation Technical Advisory Committee (ATAC) = This committee provides 

SCAG with technical and professional expertise on regional aviation issues. ATAC 

also serves as an information-sharing forum for airport representatives, aviation 

professionals, and interested parties. 

• Forecasting Technical Task Force = This task force develops long range forecasts, 

develops and improves forecast models and distribution issues, and coordinates 

regional/sub-regional forecasting efforts. Its members include sub-regions and 

forecasting experts.

• Four Corners Task Force

• Goods Movement Advisory Committee 

• Growth Visioning Subcommittee = This subcommittee is developing a process that 

assists local, sub-regional, and regional officials in developing strategies to 

accommodate growth that results in a preferred regional growth scenario. Elected 

officials and sub-regions sit on this committee. 

• Highway and Transportation Finance Task Force = This task force identifies 

revenue sources, studies alternative revenue sources, and updates the financial plan of 

the RTP. Members include elected officials, CTCs, sub-regions, Caltrans, and 

CARB.

• Maglev Task Force 

• Modeling Task Force 

• Regional Transit Task Force

• Regional Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Task Force = This task 

force of elected officials, transit operators, CTCs, Caltrans, FTA, and FHWA 

facilitates discussion and interaction on traditional and nontraditional TDM issues. 

• RTP Technical Advisory Committee
73

SCAG achieves additional public participation in the region and across the state through 

its involvement in interagency committees. SCAG staff participates in several 

interagency consultations on a regular basis. These meetings provide the opportunity for 

other governmental agencies to comment on SCAG’s work. The interagency groups and 

a sample of the agencies participating on these groups are listed below: 

• Transportation Conformity Working Group = This group meets to satisfy federal 

regulations requiring Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) to adopt 

procedures for interagency consultation. Members include SCAG, Air Quality 

Management Districts (AQMD), Air Pollution Control Districts (APCD), FHWA, 

FTA, EPA, Caltrans, CARB, CTCs, and transit operators. 

• Air Agency Directors = This group focuses on special issues as they arise, such as 

transportation control measures that relate to the region’s plans to come into 

attainment of air quality standards. Members include SCAG, SCAQMD, CARB, and 

EPA. 

• Transportation Agency Executives = These executives meet approximately 

monthly to discuss issues of mutual concern in the transportation planning process, 

such as funding and regional project priorities. Members include SCAG, Caltrans, 

Southern California Regional Rail Authority (SCRRA), and CTCs. 

• Los Angeles County Transportation Board = This group meets as needed to 

coordinate on transportation issues within Los Angeles County. Members include 

executive officers of transportation agencies in Los Angeles County. 

• Metropolitan Planning Organizations = SCAG holds separate meetings with the 

Kern Council of Governments (COG) and the San Diego Association of Governments 

to coordinate intercounty issues including rail, highways, and aviation. 

• Regional Transportation Planning Agencies = These agencies meet to discuss the 

Statewide Transportation Improvement Program, funding matters, and other issues 

that might be discussed by the CTCs. Members include the CTCs and SCAG. 

• California Councils of Government = Executive directors of state COGs meet to 

discuss issues of mutual concern relating to transportation and other aspects of 

regional planning and governance. 

The tools that SCAG is using for public participation for the 2004 RTP include: 

• Web calendar of outreach events 

• Fact sheets on major program areas 

• Power Point presentations informing audience about major programs 

• Web pages for the RTP and the EIR 

• Online public comment forms 

Through multiple presentations that put forth a unified message, task forces, interagency 

consultation, and online public comment forms, SCAG is moving forward with its most 

ambitious public involvement campaign to date. 
74

RTIP

TCMs are formally implemented at least every two years as enforceable commitments in 

the first two years of the Regional Transportation Improvement Plan (RTIP). The 1994 

AQMP states that the “list of constrained projects will ‘roll forward’ and the enforceable 

commitment will automatically be revised to encompass the first 2 years of the 

constrained projects contained in each new RTIP” [Appendix IV-C: p. II-13]. The 

flexibility provided by these frequent updates allows TCMs to be continuously adjusted 

to meet the changing needs of this dynamic region. 

Timely Implementation Report portions of the Regional Transportation Improvement 

Program (RTIP) 

Each edition of SCAG’s RTIP contains a Timely Implementation Report that presents a 

demonstration of timely implementation for all measures listed as Transportation Control 

Measures (TCMs) in the previous RTIP. Thus, for example, the Timely Implementation 

Report that is part of the 2000 RTIP considers TCMs listed in the first two years (fiscally 

constrained portion) of the1998 RTIP, and the Timely Implementation Report included 

with the 1998 RTIP considers TCMs defined by the first two years of the 1996 RTIP. 

Cumulatively, these sections of the various RTIPs provide a reliable means for tracking 

the timely implementation of measures defined as TCMs. At least every two years a 

revised RTIP is released, which rolls-over the TCM projects listed in the first two years 

(the fiscally constrained portion)of the previous RTIP. Thus, a project once identified as 

a TCM, remains on the list of projects being tracked for timely implementation until it is 

either completed, and thus rolls-off the RTIP list, or is formally replaced by some 

substitute TCM project that has been demonstrated to provide as much or more emission 

reductions than the TCM project being replaced. 

This addendum to Appendix IV-C, Regional Transportation Strategy and Control 

Measures, contains copies of the following documents: 

• 1996 RTIP: Timely Implementation Report for TCMs from the 1993/4 RTIP 

• 1998 RTIP: Timely Implementation Report for TCMs from the 1996 RTIP 

• 2000 RTIP: Timely Implementation Report for TCMs from the 1998 RTIP 

• 2001 RTIP: Timely Implementation Report for TCMs from the 2000 RTIP 

• 2002 RTIP: Timely Implementation Report for TCMs from the 2001 RTIP 
75

3. TCM Implementation 

SCAG employs the processes supporting the RTP and the RTIP to specify TCM projects 

for the 2003 AQMP/SIP. As stated above, the first two years of the six-year RTIP (the 

fiscally constrained portion) define the current TCM projects, both for purposes of 

monitoring timely implementation and for purposes of identifying projects for 

implementation priority. Each time the RTIP is updated, the projects roll forward in twoyear increments. Thus, each TCM project remains in the most current list of TCMs until 

such a time as it has been completed, except in cases where it is found necessary to 

replace a project with a substitute measure. 

Formal substitution language within Appendix IV-C will allow for TCM revisions and 

replacements without triggering the need for a formal amendment to the SIP. A 

description of the TCM project categories can be found on pp. 15-16 of Appendix IV-C. 

The culmination of these various processes—involving CTCs, sub-regions, the public, 

and RTP task forces—is a set of TCMs embedded in the 2002 RTIP that have been 

nominated for inclusion in the 2003 AQMP/SIP. The listing of these TCMs can be found 

in Attachment 1 of Appendix IV-C.

5. Continue the Sub-regional Air Quality Planning Process

As noted earlier, in 2000 SCAG formed a Sub-regional Air Quality Planning, Analysis and 

Modeling Group (SAQ-PAM) that was comprised of representatives from SCAG’s fourteen subregions. That Group met on a routine basis to consider the implementation of alternate TCMs as 

part of the 2001 RTP development process and produced many useful products, including: 

• A detailed quantification of the cost effectiveness of TCMs that had previously been 

implemented (e.g., railroad grade separation, traffic signalization improvements, 

freeway interchange improvements, etc.); 

• The consideration of benefits of new TCMs (e.g., transportation outreach to increase 

transit ridership, transit extensions, truck operating restrictions, etc.) 

• The conduct of educational workshops for elected officials and staff on the benefits of 

alternate TCMs; 

• Newsletters were prepared that described the AQMP process and how projects 

developed at local level are included in the TIP and the AQMP; and 

• Briefings for elected officials on potential TCMs. 

In light of the positive accomplishments of the Group, SCAG commits to reestablish the SubRegional Air Quality Planning, Analysis and Modeling Group. It will meet quarterly or more 

frequently as needed and prepare recommendations on local TCMs that can be implemented into 

the local planning process.
