# EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This report presents the Conformity Analysis for the 2015 Federal Transportation Improvement

Program (FTIP) and the 2014 Regional Transportation Plan. The FRESNO COUNCIL OF

GOVERNMENTS is the designated Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) in Fresno

County, California, and is responsible for regional transportation planning.

The Clean Air Act Section 176(c) (42 U.S.C. 7506(c)) and U.S. Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA) transportation conformity regulati ons (40 CFR 93 Subpart A) require that each

new RTP and TIP be demonstrated to conform to the State Implementation Plan (SIP) before the

RTP and TIP are approved by the MPO or accepted by the U.S. Department of Transportation

(DOT). This analysis demonstrates that the cr iteria specified in the transportation conformity

regulations for a conformity determination ar e satisfied by the 2015 FTIP and 2014 RTP; a

finding of conformity is therefore supported. The 2015 FTIP and 2014 RTP and corresponding

Conformity Analysis were approved by the FRESNO COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS Policy

Board on June 26, 2014 FHWA/FTA last issued a finding of conformity for the 2013 TIP and

2011 RTP, including amendments, on July 8, 2013.

The 2015 TIP and 2014 RTP have been fina ncially constrained in accordance with the

requirements of 40 CFR 93.108 and consistent with the U.S. DOT metropolitan planning

regulations (23 CFR Part 450). A discussion of financial constraint and funding sources is

included in the appropriate documents.

The applicable Federal criteria or requirements for conformity determinations, the conformity

tests applied, the results of the conformity assessme nt, and an overview of the organization of this

report are summarized below.



# CONFORMITY REQUIREMENTS

The Federal transportation conformity regulations (40 Code of Federal Regulations Parts 51 and

93) specify criteria and procedures for conform ity determinations for transportation plans,

programs, and projects and their respective ame ndments. The Federal tran sportation conformity

regulation was first promulgated in 1993 by th e U.S. EPA, following the passage of amendments

to the Federal Clean Air Act in 1990. The Federa l transportation conformity regulation has been

revised several times since its initial release to re flect both EPA rule changes and court opinions.

The transportation conformity regulation is summarized in Chapter 1.

The conformity regulation applies nationwide to “all nonattainment and maintenance areas for

transportation-related criteria pollutants for whic h the area is designated nonattainment or has a

maintenance plan” (40 CFR 93.102). Currently, th e San Joaquin Valley (or portions thereof) is

designated as nonattainment with respect to Fe deral air quality standards for ozone, and

particulate matter under 2.5 microns in diameter (PM2.5); and has a maintenance plan for

particulate matter under 10 microns in diameter (PM-10), as well as a maintenance plan for

carbon monoxide (CO) for the urbanized/metropolita n areas of Kern, Fresno, Stanislaus and San

# FRESNO COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS

CONFORMITY ANALYSIS



# 2 Joaquin Counties. Therefore, transportation pl ans and programs for the nonattainment areas for

the Fresno County area must satisfy the requireme nts of the Federal transportation conformity

regulation.

Under the transportation conformity regulation, the principal criteria for a determination of

conformity for transportation plans and programs are:

(1) the TIP and RTP must pass an emissions budget test using a budget that has been found to be

adequate by EPA for transportation conform ity purposes, or an interim emission test;

(2) the latest planning assumptions and emission models specified for use in conformity

determinations must be employed;

(3) the TIP and RTP must provide for the timely implementation of transportation control

measures (TCMs) specified in the applicab le air quality implementation plans; and

(4) interagency and public consultation.

On-going interagency consultation is conducte d through the San Joaquin Valley Interagency

Consultation Group to ensure Valley-wide coor dination, communication and compliance with

Federal and California Clean Air Act requirements. Each of the eight Valley MPOs and the San

Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District (Air District) are represented. The Federal

Highway Administration (FHWA), Federal Transit Administration (FTA), the U.S. EPA, the

California Air Resources Board (CARB) and Caltrans are also represented on the committee.

The final determination of conformity for the TIP and RTP is the responsibility of FHWA, and

FTA within the U.S. DOT.

FHWA has developed a Conformity Checklist (i ncluded in Appendix A) that contains the

required items to complete a conformity determina tion. Appropriate references to these items are

noted on the checklist.



# CONFORMITY TESTS

The conformity tests specified in the Federal tr ansportation conformity regulation are: (1) the

emissions budget test, and (2) the interim emissi on test. For the emissions budget test, predicted

emissions for the TIP/RTP must be less than or equal to the motor vehicle emissions budget

specified in the approved air quality implementati on plan or the emissions budget found to be

adequate for transportation conformity purposes. If there is no approved air quality plan for a

pollutant for which the region is in nonattainme nt or no emission budget has been found to be

adequate for transportation conformity purposes, the interim emission test applies. Chapter 1

summarizes the applicable air quality implementation plans and conformity tests for carbon

monoxide, ozone, PM-10, and PM2.5.



# RESULTS OF THE CONFORMITY ANALYSIS

A regional emissions analysis was conducted for the years 2014, 2017, 2018 (via interpolation),

2020, 2023, 2025, 2032, 2035 and 2040 for each applicab le pollutant. All analyses were

# FRESNO COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS

JUNE 26, 2014

CONFORMITY ANALYSIS



# 3 conducted using the latest planning assumptions a nd emissions models. The major conclusions of

the FRESNO COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS Conformity Analysis are:

 For carbon monoxide, the total regional on-road vehicle-related emissions associated with

implementation of the 2015 FTIP and the 2014 RTP for the analysis years are projected to be

less than the approved emissions budget established in the 2004 Revision to the California

State Implementation Plan for Carbon Monoxide . The applicable conformity test for carbon

monoxide is therefore satisfied.

 For ozone, the total regional on-road vehicl e-related emissions (ROG and NOx) associated

with implementation of the 2015 FTIP and the 2014 RTP for all years tested are projected to

be less than the approved emissions budgets specified in the 2007 Ozone Plan (as revised in

2011) . The conformity tests for ozone are therefore satisfied.

 For PM-10, the total regional vehicle-relate d emissions (PM-10 and NOx) associated with

implementation of the 2015 FTIP and the 2014 RTP for all years tested are either (1)

projected to be less than the approved emissions budgets, or (2) less than the emission

budgets using the approved PM-10 and NOx trading mechanism for transportation

conformity purposes from the 2007 PM-10 Maintenance Plan . The conformity tests for PM10 are therefore satisfied.

 For PM2.5, the total regional on-road ve hicle-related emissions associated with

implementation of the 2015 FTIP and the 2014 RTP for the analysis years are either (1)

projected to be less than the approved emission budgets, or (2) less than the emission budgets

using the approved PM2.5 and NOx trading mechanism for transportation conformity

purposes from the 2008 PM2.5 Plan (as revised in 2011) . The conformity tests for PM2.5 for

both the 1997 and 2006 standards are therefore satisfied.

 The 2015 FTIP and the 2014 RTP will not impede and will support timely implementation of

the TCMs that have been adopted as part of applicable air quality implementation plans. The

current status of TCM implementation is documen ted in Chapter 4 of this report. Since the

local SJV procedures (e.g., Air District Rule 9120 Transportation Conformity) have not been

approved by EPA, consultation has been conducte d in accordance with Federal requirements.



# REPORT ORGANIZATION

# CHAPTER 1:

FEDERAL AND STATE REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS

The criteria for determining conformity of tran sportation programs and plans under the Federal

transportation conformity regulation (40 CFR Pa rts 51 and 93) and the a pplicable conformity

tests for the San Joaquin Valley nonattainment areas are summarized in this section. The

Conformity Analysis for the 2015 Federal Tran sportation Improvement Program (TIP) and the

2014 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) was prepared based on these criteria and tests.

Presented first is a review of the development of the applicable conformity regulation and

guidance procedures, followed by summaries of c onformity regulation requirements, air quality

designation status, conformity test requirements, and analysis years for the Conformity Analysis.

FRESNO COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS is the designated Metropolitan Planning

Organization (MPO) for Fresno County in the San Joaquin Valley. As a result of this

designation, FRESNO COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS prepares the TIP, RTP, and associated

conformity analyses. The TIP serves as a detailed four year (FFY 2014/15 – 2017/18)

programming document for the preservation, expans ion, and management of the transportation

system. The 2014 RTP has a 2040 horizon that provides the long term direction for the continued

implementation of the freeway/expressway plan, as well as improvements to arterial streets,

transit, and travel demand management programs. The TIP and RTP include capacity

enhancements to the freeway/expressway system commensurate with available funding.



# A. FEDERAL AND STATE CONFORMITY REGULATIONS

CLEAN AIR ACT AMENDMENTS

Section 176(c) of the Clean Air Act (CAA, 1990) requires that Federal agencies and MPOs not

approve any transportation plan, program, or proj ect that does not conform to the approved State

Implementation Plan (SIP). The 1990 amendments to the Clean Air Act expanded Section 176(c)

to more explicitly define conformity to an implementation plan to mean:

“Conformity to the plan's purpose of eliminating or reducing the severity and number

of violations of the national ambient ai r quality standards and achieving expeditious

attainment of such standards; and that such activities will not (i) cause or contribute

to any new violation of any standard in any area; (ii) increase the frequency or

severity of any existing violation of any standard in any area; or (iii) delay timely

attainment of any standard or any requ ired interim emission reductions or other

milestones in any area.”

Section 176(c) also provides conditions for the ap proval of transportation plans, programs, and

projects, and requirements that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) promulgate

conformity determination criteria and pro cedures no later than November 15, 1991.

CONFORMITY ANALYSIS



# 6 FEDERAL RULE

The initial November 15, 1991 deadline for confor mity criteria and procedures was partially

completed through the issuance of supplemental in terim conformity guidance issued on June 7,

1991 for carbon monoxide, ozone, and particulate matter ten microns or less in diameter (PM-10).

EPA subsequently promulgated the Conform ity Final Rule in the November 24, 1993 Federal

Register (EPA, 1993). The 1993 Rule became effective on December 27, 1993. The Federal

Transportation Conformity Final Rule has been amended several times from 1993 to present.

These amendments have addressed a number of items related to conformity lapses, grace periods,

and other related issues to streamline the conformity process.

EPA published the Transportation Conformity Ru le PM2.5 and PM10 Amendments on March 24,

2010; the rule became effective on April 23, 201 0 (EPA, 2010a). This PM amendments final

rule amends the conformity regulation to a ddress the 2006 PM2.5 national ambient air quality

standard (NAAQS). The final PM amendments rule also addresses hot-spot analyses in PM2.5

and PM10 and carbon monoxide nonatta inment and maintenance areas.

On March 14, 2012, EPA published the Trans portation Conformity Rule Restructuring

Amendments, effective April 13, 2012 (EPA, 201 2). The amendments restructure several

sections of the rule so that they apply to any new or revised National Ambient Air Quality

Standards. In addition, several clarifications to improve implementation of the rule were

finalized.

MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL GUIDANCE

EPA reissued Guidance for Transportation Conf ormity Implementation in Multi-Jurisdictional

Nonattainment and Maintenance Areas in July 2012. This guidance updates and supersedes the

July 2004 “multi-jurisdictional” guidance (EPA, 2004a), but does not change the substance of the

guidance on how nonattainment areas with mu ltiple agencies should conduct conformity

determinations. This guidance applies to the San Joaquin Valley since there are multiple MPOs

within a single nonattainment area. The main principle of the guidance is that one regional

emissions analysis is required for the entire nona ttainment area. However, separate modeling and

conformity documents may be developed by each MPO.

Part 3 of the guidance applies to nonattainment ar eas that have adequate or approved conformity

budgets addressing a particular air quality standard . This Part currently applies to the San

Joaquin Valley for carbon monoxide, ozone and PM -10. The guidance allows MPOs to make

independent conformity determin ations for their plans and TIPs as long as all of the other

subareas in the nonattainment area have conformi ng transportation plans and TIPs in place at the

time of each MPO and the Department of Trans portation (DOT) conformity determination.

With respect to PM2.5, the Transportation Conformity Rule PM2.5 and PM10 Amendments

published on March 24, 2010 effec tively incorporates the “multi-juri sdictional” guidance directly

into the rule. The Rule allows MPOs to make independent conformity de terminations for their

plans and TIPs as long as all of the other suba reas in the nonattainment area have conforming

determination.

DISTRICT RULE

The San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District (Air District) adopted Rule 9120

Transportation Conformity on January 19, 1995 in response to requirements in Section

176(c)(4)(c) of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendmen ts. Rule 9120 contains the Transportation

Conformity Rule promulgated November 24, 1993 verbatim. The Rule provides guidance for the

development of consultation pro cedures and processes at the local level. As required by the

Transportation Conformity Rule, Rule 9120 w as submitted to EPA on Ja nuary 24, 1995 as a

revision to the State SIP. The rule becomes effective on the date EPA promulgates interim,

partial, or final approval in the Federal Register.

To date, the Rule has not received approval by EPA. Section 51.390(b) of the Transportation

Conformity Rule states: “Following EPA approval of the State conformity provisions (or a

portion thereof) in a revision to the applicable implementation plan, conf ormity determinations

would be governed by the approved (or approved portion of the) State criteria and procedures.” It

should also be noted that EPA has changed 40 CFR 51.390 to streamline the requirements for

State conformity SIPs. Since a transportation c onformity SIP has not been approved for the SJV,

the Federal transportation conf ormity rule still governs.



# B. CONFORMITY REGULATI ON REQUIREMENTS

The Federal regulations identify general criteria and procedures that apply to all transportation

conformity determinations, regardless of polluta nt and implementation plan status. These include:

1) Conformity Tests — Sections 93.118 and 93.119 specify emissions tests (budget and interim

emissions) that the TIP/RTP must satisfy in or der for a determination of conformity to be

found. The final transportation conformity re gulation issued on July 1, 2004 requires a

submitted SIP motor vehicle emissions budget to be found adequate or approved by EPA

prior to use for making conformity determinations. The budget must be used on or after the

effective date of EPA’s adequacy finding or approval.

2) Methods / Modeling:

Latest Planning Assumptions — Section 93.110 specifies that conformity determinations

must be based upon the most recent planning assump tions in force at the time the conformity

analysis begins. This is defined as “the point at which the MPO begins to model the impact

of the proposed transportation plan or TIP on travel and/or emissions. New data that

becomes available after an analysis begins is required to be used in the conformity

determination only if a significant delay in the analysis has occurred, as determined through

interagency consultation” (EPA , 2010b). All analyses for the Conformity Analysis were

conducted using the latest planning assumptions and emissions models in force at the time the

conformity analysis started in August 2013 (see Chapter 2).

Latest Emissions Models — Section 93.111 requires that the latest emission estimation

models specified for use in SIPs must be used for the conformity analysis. EMFAC2011 was

# FRESNO COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS

JUNE 26, 2014

CONFORMITY ANALYSIS



# 8 used in the Conformity Analysis and is docum ented in Chapter 3. EPA issued a federal

register notice on March 6, 2013 formally approving EMFAC2011 for use in conformity

determinations.

3) Timely Implementation of TCMs — Section 93.113 provides a detailed description of the

steps necessary to demonstrate that the new TIP/RTP are providing for the timely

implementation of TCMs, as well as demonstrat e that the plan and/or program is not

interfering with this implementation. TCM doc umentation is included in Chapter 4 of the

Conformity Analysis.

4) Consultation — Section 93.105 requires that the c onformity determination be made in

accordance with the consultation procedures ou tlined in the Federal regulations. These

include:

 

# MPOs are required to provide reasonable oppor tunity for consultation with State air

agencies, local air quality and transportation agencies, the USDOT and EPA (Section

93.105(a)(1)).

 

# MPOs are required to establish a proactive public involvement process, which provides

opportunity for public review and comment prio r to taking formal action on a conformity

determination (Section 93.105(e)).

The TIP, RTP, and corresponding conformity determ inations are prepared by each MPO. Copies

of the Draft documents are provided to member agencies and others, including FHWA, Federal

Transit Administration (FTA), EPA, Caltrans, CARB , and the Air District for review. Both the

TIP and RTP are required to be publicly availa ble and an opportunity for public review and

comment is provided. The Fresno COG adopted consultation process and policy for conformity

analysis includes a 30-day comment period followed by a public hearing. For the 2014 RTP and

2015 FTIP process, Fresno COG includes a 55-day comment period and includes two public

hearings on April 24, 2014 and on May 7, 2014.



# C. AIR QUALITY DESIGNATIONS APPLICABLE TO THE SAN

JOAQUIN VALLEY

The conformity regulation (section 93.102) require s documentation of the applicable pollutants

and precursors for which EPA has designated th e area nonattainment or maintenance. In

addition, the nonattainment or maintenance ar ea and its boundaries should be described.

FRESNO COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS is located in the federally designated San Joaquin

Valley Air Basin. The borders of the basin are defined by mountain and foothill ranges to the

east and west. The northern border is consistent with the county line between San Joaquin and

Sacramento Counties. The southern border is less defined, but is roughly bounded by the

Tehachapi Mountains and, to some extent, the Sierra Nevada range. Conformity for the 2015

FTIP and 2014 RTP includes analysis of existing and future air quality impacts for each

applicable pollutant.

The San Joaquin Valley is currently designate d as nonattainment for the National Ambient Air

Quality Standards (NAAQS) for 8-hour ozone (19 97 and 2008 standard), and particulate matter

under 2.5 microns in diameter (PM2.5) (1997 an d 2006 standards); and has a maintenance plan

# FRESNO COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS

JUNE 26, 2014

CONFORMITY ANALYSIS



# 9 for particulate matter under 10 microns in diamet er (PM-10), as well as a maintenance plan for

carbon monoxide (CO) for the urbanized/metropolita n areas of Kern, Fresno, Stanislaus and San

Joaquin Counties. State Implementation Plans have been prepared to address carbon monoxide,

ozone, PM-10 and PM2.5:

 The 2004 Revision to the California State Implementation Plan for Carbon Monoxide

was approved by EPA on November 30, 2005 (effective January 30, 2006).

 The 2007 8-Hour (1997 Standard) Ozone Plan (as revised in 2011) was approved by EPA

on March 1, 2012 (effective April 30, 2012).

 The 2007 PM-10 Maintenance Plan, which include d revisions to the attainment plan, was

approved (with minor technical corrections to the conformity budgets) by EPA on

November 12, 2008.

 The 2008 (1997 Standard) PM2.5 Plan (as revised in 2011) was approved by EPA on

November 9, 2011 (effective January 9, 2012).

On November 13, 2009, EPA published Air Qua lity Designations for the 2006 24-hour PM2.5

standard, effective December 14, 20 09. Nonattainment areas are required to meet the standard by

2014; transportation conformity applies by Decemb er 14, 2010. In the San Joaquin Valley, the

1997 standards (both 24-hour and annu al) will continue to apply. It is important to note that the

2006 24-hour PM2.5 nonattainment area boundary fo r the San Joaquin Valley is exactly the same

as the nonattainment area boundary for the 1997 annual standard.

In accordance with the EPA Interim Transpor tation Conformity Guidance for 2006 PM2.5

NAAQS Nonattainment areas, if a 2006 PM2.5 ar ea has adequate or approved SIP budgets that

address the 1997 standards, it must use the budge t test until new 2006 PM2.5 standard budgets

are found adequate or approved. The new atta inment year of 2014 must be modeled.

The SJV 2012 PM2.5 Plan (addressing the 2006 PM2.5 standards) was approved by ARB in

January 2013 and subsequently submitted to EPA on March 3, 2013. However, recent U.S Court

of Appeals’ decision remanding EPA PM2.5 Impl ementation Rule may postpone EPA’s action on

the Plan. EPA is currently assessing the effects of the Court’s decision and has not begun the

adequacy process on the conformity budgets in the 2012 Plan. As a result, we are assuming that

those conformity budgets will not be available fo r use and that the 2008 PM2.5 Plan conformity

budgets are the only budgets applicable a nd are used for this demonstration.

EPA designated the San Joaquin Valley nonattain ment area for the new 2008 Ozone Standard,

effective July 20, 2012; the attainment year fo r the San Joaquin Valley is 2032. Transportation

conformity applies one year after the effective date (July 20, 2013). Federal approval for the

eight SJV MPO’s 2008 Ozone standard conformity de monstrations was received on July 8, 2013.

EPA’s final rule implementing the 2008 Ozone Standard also revoked the 1997 Ozone Standard

for transportation conformity pur poses. This revocation became effective July 20, 2013.

In accordance with EPA guidance dated July 2012, if a 2008 Ozone area has adequate or

approved SIP budgets that address the 1997 standard s, it must use the budget test until new 2008

# FRESNO COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS

JUNE 26, 2014

CONFORMITY ANALYSIS



# 10 Ozone standard budgets are found adequate or appr oved. The new attainment year of 2032 must

be modeled.



# D. CONFORMITY TEST REQUIREMENTS

The conformity (Section 93.109(c)–( k)) rule requires that either a table or text description be

provided that details, for each pollutant and precu rsor, whether the interim emissions tests and/or

the budget test apply for conformity. In add ition, documentation regarding which emissions

budgets have been found adequate by EPA, and which budgets are currently applicable for what

analysis years is required.

Specific conformity test requirements establishe d for the San Joaquin Valley nonattainment areas

for carbon monoxide, ozone, and particul ate matter are summarized below.

Section 93.124(d) of the 1997 Final Transportation Conformity regulation allows for conformity

determinations for sub-regional emission budgets by MPOs if the applicable implementation

plans (or implementation plan submission) exp licitly indicates an intent to create such subregional budgets for the purpose of conformity. In addition, Section 93.124(e) of the 1997 rules

states: “...if a nonattainment area includes more than one MPO, the implementation plan may

establish motor vehicle emission budgets for each MPO, or else the MPOs must collectively

make a conformity determination for the en tire nonattainment area.” Each applicable

implementation plan and estimate of baseline emis sions in the San Joaquin Valley provides motor

vehicle emission budgets by county, to fac ilitate county-level conformity findings.

CARBON MONOXIDE

The urbanized/metropolitan areas of Kern, Fresno, Stanislaus and San Joaquin Counties are

classified maintenance for carbon monoxide (CO). The motor vehicle emission budgets for

carbon monoxide are specified in the 2004 Revision to the California State Implementation Plan

for Carbon Monoxide in tons per average winter day. EPA published a direct final rulemaking

approving the plan on November 30, 2005, effective January 30, 2006.

For carbon monoxide, the Federal transportation conf ormity regulation requires that the TIP and

RTP must pass an emissions budget test with a budget that has been approved by EPA for

transportation conformity purposes. New confor mity budgets have been approved for 2003, 2010

and 2018 for portions of the San Joaquin Valley as provided in the following table.

OZONE (2008 STANDARD)

EPA’s final rule implementing the 2008 ozone sta ndard also revoked the 1997 ozone standard for

transportation conformity purposes. This revocati on is effective July 20, 2013. Areas designated

nonattainment for the 2008 ozone standard are requi red to use any existing adequate or approved

SIP motor vehicle emissions budgets for a prio r ozone standard until budgets for the 2008 ozone

standard are either found adequate or approved. Therefore, when a 2008 ozone nonattainment

area has adequate or approved budgets for any ozone standard, the budget test requirements (40

CFR 93.118) must be met.

Under the existing conformity regulation, regional emissions analyses for ozone areas must

address nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOC) precursors. It is important

to note that in California, reactive organic gases (R OG) are considered equivalent to and are used

in place of volatile organic compounds (VOC).

EPA approved the 2007 Ozone (1997 standard) Plan (as revised in 2011) and conformity budgets

on March 1, 2012, effective Apr il 30, 2012. The SIP identifie d both reactive organic gases

(ROG) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) subarea budgets in tons per average summer day for each

MPO in the nonattainment area. It is important to note that the boundaries for both the 2008

ozone standard and previous ozone standard are identical. Consequently, for this conformity

analysis, the SJV MPOs will continue to conduc t demonstrations for subarea emissions budgets

as established in the 2007 Ozone Plan (as revised in 2011).

The approved conformity budgets from Table 5 of the EPA Federal Register notice are provided

in the table below. These budgets will be used to compare to emissions resulting from the 2014

PM-10

The 2007 PM-10 Maintenance Plan was approved (with minor technical corrections to the

conformity budgets) by EPA on November 12, 2008, which contains motor vehicle emission

budgets for PM-10 and NOx, as well as a trading mechanism. Motor vehicle emission budgets

are established based on average annual daily emissions. The motor vehicle emissions budget for

PM-10 includes regional re-entrained dust from trav el on paved roads, vehicular exhaust, travel

on unpaved roads, and road construction.

The conformity budgets from Tables 6 and 7 of th e Plan are provided below (including the minor

technical corrections) and will be used to comp are emissions for each analysis year. CARB

subsequently updated the 2005 atta inment budgets; these updates are reflected in the table below.

The PM-10 SIP allows trading from the motor ve hicle emissions budget for the PM-10 precursor

NOx to the motor vehicle emissions budget for prim ary PM-10 using a 1.5 to 1 ratio. The trading

mechanism allows the ag encies responsible for demonstrating transportation conformity in the

San Joaquin Valley to supplement the 2005 budge t for PM-10 with a portion of the 2005 budget

for NOx, and use these adjusted motor vehicl e emissions budgets for PM-10 and NOx to

demonstrate transportation conformity with the PM -10 SIP for analysis years after 2005. As noted

above, EPA approved the 2007 PM-10 Maintenance Pl an (with minor technical corrections to the

conformity budgets) on November 12, 2008, whic h includes continued approval of the trading

mechanism.

The trading mechanism will be used only for conf ormity analyses for analysis years after 2005.

To ensure that the trading m echanism does not impact the ability to meet the NOx budget, the

NOx emission reductions available to suppl ement the PM-10 budget shall only be those

remaining after the NOx budget has been met.

EPA and FHWA have indicated that areas viola ting both the annual and 24-hour standards for

PM2.5 must address both standards in the confor mity determination. The San Joaquin Valley

currently violates both standards, and the conf ormity determination includes both analyses.

Please note that this includes both the 1997 standards and the 2006 24-hour standard (see

discussion under Air Quality Designations Appli cable to the San Joaquin Valley above).

The 2008 PM2.5 Plan for the 1997 PM2.5 standard (as revised in 2011) was approved by EPA on

November 9, 2011, which contains motor vehicle emission budgets for PM2.5 and NOx

established based on average annual daily emissions , as well as a trading mechanism. The motor

vehicle emissions budget for PM2.5 includes di rectly emitted PM2.5 motor vehicle emissions

from tailpipe, brake wear and tire wear. VOC, SOx, ammonia, and dust (from paved roads,

unpaved roads, and road construction) were f ound to be insignificant and not included in the

motor vehicle emission budgets for conformity pur poses. The conformity budgets from table 5

of the November 9, 2011 Federal Register ar e provided below and will be used to compare

emissions resulting from the 2014 RTP and 2015 FTIP.

The Clean Air Act requires all states to attain the 1997 PM2.5 standards as expeditiously as

practicable beginning in 2010, but by no later than April 5, 2015. States must identify their

attainment dates based on the rate of reductions from their control strategies and the severity of

the PM2.5 problem. Modeling must be used to verify that the control strategy is as expeditious as

practicable. The 2008 PM2.5 Plan shows that the San Joaquin Valley PM2.5 nonattainment area

can attain the annual PM2.5 NAAQS in 2014. Th e SIP has identified subarea budgets for each

MPO in the nonattainment area. For this Confor mity Analysis, the SJV will continue to conduct

determinations for subarea emission budgets as estab lished in the applicable implementation plan.

The CARB technical revisions to the motor vehi cle emissions budgets also included a trading

mechanism that allows trading from the motor ve hicle emissions budget for the PM-2.5 precursor

NOx to the motor vehicle emissions budget for primary PM-2.5 using a 9 to 1 ratio. The trading

mechanism allows the ag encies responsible for demonstrating transportation conformity in the

San Joaquin Valley to supplement the 2014 budget for PM-2.5 with a portion of the 2014 budget

for NOx, and use these adjusted motor vehicl e emissions budgets for PM-2.5 and NOx to

demonstrate transportation conformity with the PM-2.5 SIP for analysis years after 2014. As

noted above, EPA approved the 2008 PM2.5 Plan (as revised in 2011) on November 9, 2011,

which includes continued approval of the trading mechanism.

The trading mechanism will be used only for conf ormity analyses for analysis years after 2014.

To ensure that the trading m echanism does not impact the ability to meet the NOx budget, the

NOx emission reductions available to supplem ent the PM-2.5 budget shall only be those

remaining after the NOx budget has been met.

The SJV 2012 PM2.5 Plan (addressing the 2006 PM2.5 standards) was approved by ARB in

January 2013 and subsequently submitted to EPA on March 3, 2013. However, recent U.S Court

of Appeals’ decision remanding EPA PM2.5 Impl ementation Rule may postpone EPA’s action on

the Plan. EPA published a proposed rule on Nove mber 21, 2013 to address the effects of the

Court’s decision and has not begun the adequacy pr ocess on the conformity budgets in the 2012

Plan. As a result, we are assuming that those c onformity budgets will not be available for use and

that the 2008 PM2.5 Plan conformity budgets are the only budgets applicable and are used for

this demonstration.

# E. ANALYSIS YEARS

The conformity regulation (Section 93.118[b] and [d]) requires documentation of the years for

which consistency with motor vehicle emission budgets must be shown. In addition, any

interpolation performed to meet tests for years in which specific analysis is not required need to

be documented.

For the selection of the horizon years, the conformity regulation requires: (1) that if the

attainment year is in the time span of the transpor tation plan, it must be modeled; (2) the last year

forecast in the transportation plan must be a horizon year; and (3) horizon years may not be more

than ten years apart. In addition, the conformity regulation requires that conformity must be

demonstrated for each year for which the appli cable implementation plan specifically establishes

motor vehicle emission budgets.

Section 93.118(b)(2) clarifies that when a mainte nance plan has been subm itted, conformity must

be demonstrated for the last year of the main tenance plan and any other years for which the

maintenance plan establishes budgets in the time frame of the transportation plan. Section

93.118(d)(2) indicates that a regional emissions an alysis may be performed for any years, the

attainment year, and the last year of the plan’s forecast. Other years may be determined by

interpolating between the years for which the regional emissions analysis is performed.

# 16 transportation plan) and the last year of the plan’s forecast period. Emissions in years for which

consistency with motor vehicle emissions budgets must be demons trated, as required in paragraph

(b) of this section (i.e., each budget year), may be determined by interpolating between the years

for which the regional emissions analysis is perfo rmed. For CO, the analysis year 2018 will be

interpolated from 2017 and 2025.

For PM2.5, the attainment year is 2014 for both the 1997 and 2006 Standards. On March 8,

2005, EPA issued Guidance for Determining the “Attainment Year” for Transportation

Conformity in new 8-hour ozone and PM2.5 Nonattainment Areas (EPA, 2005a). Per CAA

section 172(a)(2), all PM2.5 nonattainment ar eas will have an initial maximum statutory

attainment date of April 5, 2010. However, the submitted 2008 PM2.5 Plan shows that the San

Joaquin Valley PM2.5 nonattainment area can attain the annual PM2.5 NAAQS in 2014. In

addition, the attainment year for the 2006 PM2. 5 areas will be 2014. Since this is the same

attainment year as the 1997 standards noted above, no changes to the conformity analysis years

are required.

# CHAPTER 2:

LATEST PLANNING ASSUMPTIONS AND

TRANSPORTATION MODELING

The Clean Air Act states that “the determination of conformity shall be based on the most recent

estimates of emissions, and such estimates shall be determined from the most recent population,

employment, travel, and congestion estimates as determined by the MPO or other agency

authorized to make such estim ates.” On January 18, 2001, the USDOT issued guidance developed

jointly with EPA to provide additional clarifi cation concerning the use of latest planning

assumptions in conformity determinations (USDOT, 2001).

According to the conformity regulation, the time th e conformity analysis begins is “the point at

which the MPO or other designated agency begins to model the impact of the proposed

transportation plan or TIP on travel and/or emissions.” The conformity analysis and initial

modeling began in August 2013. A summary of tr ansportation model updates and latest planning

assumptions was transmitted to the San Joaqui n Valley Interagency Consultation (IAC) for

review and comments or concurrence on August 18, 2013. The summary was discussed on the

September 17, 2013 IAC conference call. Both EPA and FHWA indicated that there were no

comments or concerns regarding the summary.

Key elements of the latest planning assumption guidance include:

 Areas are strongly encouraged to review and strive towards regular five-year updates of

planning assumptions, especially population, employment and vehicle registration

assumptions.

 The latest planning assumptions must be derived from the population, employment, travel

and congestion estimates that have been most recently developed by the MPO (or other

agency authorized to make such estimates) and approved by the MPO.

 Conformity determinations that are based on info rmation that is older than five years should

include written justification for not using more recent information. For areas where updates

are appropriate, the conformity determination should include an an ticipated schedule for

updating assumptions.

 The conformity determination must use the latest existing information regarding the

effectiveness of the transportation control me asures (TCMs) and other implementation plan

measures that have already been implemented.

Fresno COG uses the Citilabs Cube transportation model. The model was validated in 2013 for

the 2008 base year. The latest planning assumptions used in the transportation model validation

and Conformity Analysis is summarized in Table 2-1.

that if the data is more than five years old, wr itten justification for the use of older data must be

provided. In addition, documentation is requi red for how land use development scenarios are

consistent with future transportation system alternatives, and the reasonable distribution of

employment and residences for each alternative.

POPULATION FORECAST

The forecasts used for the Fresno COG Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities

Strategy were from the San Joaquin Valley Demographic Forecasts: 2010 to 2050 prepared by

The Planning Center, March 2012. The forecast was part of a San Joaquin Valley demographic

study commissioned by the eight metropolitan planni ng organizations (MPOs) of the valley, in an

effort to obtain recently-prepared projections. The latest State of California Department of

Finance (DOF) projection at the time was released in July 2007 and did not take into account the

2007-2008 recession and the subsequent slow economic recovery, thus prompting the need for an

updated forecast. In January 2013, the Department of Finance released their latest projection for

Fresno County, which differed from The Planning Center forecasts by less than two percent for

every year between now and the forecast horizon year of 2050, which helped confirm the validity

of the Planning Center forecast for use in the RTP/SCS.

This study includes three primary forecasts of population, households a nd housing units. Other

projections developed by The Planning Center, e.g., age distribution, average household size,

household income, household type, race/ethnicity, ar e derived from the three primary forecasts.

The Planning Center forecasts are based on sever al different projections including household

trend, total housing unit trend, housing construc tion trend, employment trend, cohort-component

model, population trend, average household size tr end, and household income trend. The leastsquares linear curve forms the basis for all proj ections because the forecasts are long-term and

curve-fitting techniques (e.g., parabolic curve, l ogistic curve) do not provide reasonable longterm results. Three measures evaluate the adequacy of each projection: mean absolute percentage

error (MAPE), F-test, and t-test.

The population forecast is included in Table 2-2.

EMPLOYMENT FORECAST

Employment was forecast by The Planning Center using the at-place employment data by sector

from the State of California Employment Devel opment Department. The model constructs a

least-squares line for each economic sector and sums the results to generate a projection for total

employment in the County. The least-squares line for total employment in Fresno County

produces a MAPE of 2.21% and a standard error of .85%.

The resulting employment forecast is included in Table 2-2.

HOUSEHOLD FORECAST

The household forecast was dependent on the exp ected increase in household size. According to

the San Joaquin Valley Demographic Forecasts: 2010 to 2050 prepared by The Planning Center,

household sizes in Fresno County are projected to increase steadily—from approx. 3.1298

persons per household in 2008 to approx. 3.3515 in 2035. Thus, some of the expected total

# FRESNO COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS

JUNE 26, 2014

CONFORMITY ANALYSIS



# 21 growth in household population for Fresno Count y will manifest not in new development but

rather in existing housing units, as each house hold on average will contain more people.

To calculate the household population growth due to household size increase, Fresno COG used

the following formula:

Where

HH 2008 

# = number of total households in Fresno County in 2008 (the base year) = 308,047

HHsize N 

# = projected average countywide household size for target year N

HHsize 2008 

# = average countywide household size in 2008 (the base year) = 3.1298

Therefore, by this formula, the projected household population growth from 2008 to 2035 due to

household size increase is 308,047 (3.3515 – 3.1298) = 68,289 persons . Subtracting this value

from the total projected growth in household population for the County represents the household

population growth due to new development: 309,851 persons by 2035.

Projected household growth was allocated to jurisd ictions based on the historic shares of housing

growth. The growth was further distributed with in jurisdictions using the latest adopted or

proposed land use maps and in consulta tion with staff from each jurisdiction.



# B. TRANSPORTATION MODELING

The San Joaquin Valley Metropolitan Planning Orga nizations (MPOs) utilize the Citilabs Cube

traffic modeling software. The Valley TPA regional traffic models consist of traditional four-step

traffic forecasting models. They use land use, socioeconomic, and road ne twork data to estimate

facility-specific roadway traffic volumes. Each TPA model covers the appropriate county area,

which is then divided into hundreds or thousands of individual traffic analysis zones (TAZs). In

addition the model roadway networks include t housands of nodes and links. Link types include

freeway, freeway ramp, other State route, expressway, arterial, collector, and local collector.

Current and future-year road networks were de veloped considering local agency circulation

elements of their general plans, traffic impact studies, capital improvement programs, and the

State Transportation Improvement Program. Th e models use equilibrium, a capacity sensitive

assignment methodology, and the data from the mo del for the emission estimates differentiates

between peak and off-peak volumes and speeds. In addition, the model is reasonably sensitive to

changes in time and other factors affecting travel choices. The results from model

validation/calibration were analyzed for reasona bleness and compared to historical trends.

Specific transportation modeling requirements in the conformity regulation are summarized

below, followed by a description of how the Fresno COG transportation modeling methodology

meets those requirements.

Fresno COG completed the update of our traffic model to Citilabs Cube modeling software and

revalidation to a new base year of 2008 in December 2013. The Fresno COG regional traffic

model is a four-step mode choice traffic model. It uses land use, socioeconomic, and road

network data to estimate facility-specific roadway traffic volumes. The study area for the Fresno

COG model covers all of Fresno County includ ing the cities of Clovis, Coalinga, Firebaugh,

# 22 Fowler, Fresno, Huron, Kerman, Kingsburg, Me ndota, Orange Cove, Parlier, Reedley, San

Joaquin, Sanger, and Selma. The county is divi ded up into approximately 2,900 traffic analysis

zones. The model roadway network includes ove r 6,800 nodes and over 17,000 links. Link types

include freeway, freeway ramp, other state route, expressway, arterial, collector, and local

collector. Current and future-year road networ ks were developed considering local agency

circulation elements of their general plans, traffic impact studies, capital improvement programs,

and the State Transportation Improvement Program.

The Fresno COG model has been set up to estimate travel demand during six periods:

 AM peak three-hour period

 PM peak three-hour period

 Off-peak eleven hours

 AM peak hour

 PM peak hour

 Mid-Day seven hours

The traffic volumes projected for the three-hour peak periods, mid-day seven hours, off-peak

eleven hours, and remaining hours are added together to create daily traffic projections.

The Fresno County Model Steering Committee oversees the improvements and updates to the

model. The Model Steering Committee is a s ub-committee of the Fresno COG Transportation

Technical Committee and meets quarterly and wh en needed. The model and its assumptions are

constantly being update d based upon the latest planning information.

TRAFFIC COUNTS

The conformity regulation requires documentation th at a network-based travel model is in use

that is validated against observed counts for a base year no more than 10 years before the date of

the conformity determination. Document that the model results have been analyzed for

reasonableness and compared to historical trends and explain any significant differences between

past trends and forecasts (for per capita vehicle-trips, VMT, trip lengths mode shares, time of day,

etc.).

Supporting Documentation:

Fresno COG completed the update of the traffic model to Citilabs Cube modeling software and

revalidation to a new base year of 2008 in 2 013. The model was validated by comparing its

estimates of 2008 traffic conditions with more than 2,000 peak and off peak traffic counts. The

2013 validation meets standard criteria for replica ting total traffic volumes on various road types

and for percent error on links. The 2013 validation also meets standard criteria for percent error

relative to traffic counts on 80% of the analyzed screenlines throughout Fresno County.

# 23 Fresno COG maintains a Regional Traffic Monitori ng Program that collects thousands of traffic

counts across the county annually. The City of Fresno, City of Clovis and Fresno County are the

3 agencies that participate in this program.

SPEEDS

The conformity regulation requires documentati on of the use of capacity sensitive assignment

methodology and emissions estimates based on a me thodology that differentiates between peak

and off-peak volumes and speeds, and bases spee ds on final assigned volumes. In addition,

documentation of the use of zone-to-zone travel impedances to distribute trips in reasonable

agreement with the travel times estimated from fi nal assigned traffic volumes. Where transit is a

significant factor, document that zone-to-zone trav el impedances used to distribute trips are used

to model mode split. Finally, document that reasonable methods were used to estimate traffic

speeds and delays in a manner sensitive to the estimated volume of travel on each roadway

segment represented in the travel model.

Supporting Documentation:

Due to speed’s impact on pollution emission fro m automobiles, and because congestion speeds

are used as input to air pollution emission models, it is vital that congested speeds from the travel

model reasonably replicate characteristics of traffic on the streets. Good free-flow speed data in

the travel model is the first step towards achieving this goal.

A comprehensive review of free flow speed data (including floating car speed studies) was

conducted in 2005 and incorporated into our 2013 model update. In addition Fresno COG

member agencies regularly conduct free flow speed surveys for various purposes. Such speed

data was requested by Fresno COG during the lat est model update and also incorporated in the

model as input during the 2013 model validation.

FEEDBACK MECHANISMS

The Fresno COG Model includes a feedback loop that uses congested travel times as an input to

the trip distribution step. The feedback loop is intended to ensure that the congested travel

impedances (times) used for fina l traffic assignment and as input to the air quality analysis are

consistent with the travel impedan ces used throughout the model process.

For the Fresno COG Model, the feedback loop is considered to converge when the travel times

that result from the congested travel speeds afte r traffic assignment compare closely with the

travel times used as input to the trip distribution process.

In an effort to meet all Transportation Confor mity Rule modeling requirements, a full feedback

loop process was implemented as of 2001 that iterates until it reaches a set of convergence

criteria. The convergence criteria are consistent with Transportation Conformity Rule Section

93.122 (b)(1)(v).

# 24 TRANSIT

The conformity regulation requires documentation of any changes in transit operating policies

and assumed ridership levels since the previous c onformity determination. Document the use of

the latest transit fares and road and bridge tolls.

Supporting Documentation:

Fresno COG has been running a mode choice mo del since 2003. The model replicates major

transit services in Fresno County, including Fres no Area Express (FAX), Clovis Transit Stageline

and Fresno County Rural Transit Agency. Please refer to Urban Mass Transportation and Rural

Area Public Transportation and Social Servi ce Transportation in the 2014 RTP for further

information regarding the services, their accomplishments and proposed actions.

The mode choice model uses a multinomial logit formulation, which assigns the probability of

using a particular travel mode based on attractiv eness measure for that mode in relation to the

sum of the attractiveness of the other mode. The model predicts the following seven modes:

1. Drive Alone

2. 2-Person vehicle

3. 3+-Person vehicle

4. Walk to Transit

5. Drive to Transit

6. Walk

7. Bike

Daily transit trips are assigned to the transit networ k. Transit trips are assigned to the single best

path based on in-vehicle time pl us weighted out-of- vehicle times. The transit trips are assigned in

four groups:

1. Peak period (A.M. plus P.M.), walk access

2. Peak period (A.M. plus P.M.), drive access

3. Off-peak, walk access

4. Off-peak, drive access



# The peak period transit trips represent trips occu rring during the A.M. three- hour peak period

plus the P.M. three hour peak period. Peak peri od transit trips are assigned to the peak transit

service (peak period headways) with travel tim es based on the congested speeds from the A.M.

peak period traffic assignment. Off-peak transi t trips represent trips during the remaining 18

hours and are assigned to the off-peak transit servi ce (off-peak headways) with travel times based

on the congested road speeds from the off-peak traffic assignment.

Transit trips are all assigned as production to attrac tion rather than origin to destination. For

example, a person who uses transit for work will be assigned as two trips from the home TAZ to

the work TAZ rather than one trip in each directi on. This is done so that the model can keep track

# FRESNO COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS

CONFORMITY ANALYSIS



# 25 of which end of the trip can use drive access. In order to convert to actual directional boardings,

the assigned transit trips in each direction must be added together and then divided by two.

The transit vehicle times and drive access times ar e affected by congestion on the road network.

VALIDATION/CALIBRATION

The conformity regulation requires documentation th at the model results have been analyzed for

reasonableness and compared to historical trends and explain any significant differences between

past trends and forecasts (for per capita vehicle-trips, VMT, trip lengths mode shares, time of day,

etc.). In addition, documentation of how trav el models are reasonably sensitive to changes in

time, cost, and other factors affecting travel choices is required. The use of HPMS, or a locally

developed count-based program or procedures that have been chosen to reconcile and calibrate

the network-based travel model estim ates of VMT must be documented.

Supporting Documentation:

The model was validated in 2013 by comparing its estimates of 2008 tra ffic conditions with 2008

traffic counts. The 2013 validation meets standard criteria for replicating total traffic volumes on

various road types and for percent error on links. The 2013 validation also meets standard criteria

for percent error relative to traffic counts on 80 % of the screenlines throughout Fresno County.

For Serious and above nonattainment areas, transportation conformity guidance, Section

93.122(b)(3), as amended August 15, 1997, states:

Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS) estimates of vehicle miles traveled (VMT)

shall be considered the primary measure of VM T within the portion of the nonattainment or

maintenance area and for the functional classes of roadways included in HPMS, for urban areas

which are sampled on a separate urban area basis. For areas with network- based travel models,

a factor (or factors) may be developed to reconc ile and calibrate the network-based travel model

estimates of VMT in the base year of its valida tion to the HPMS estimates for the same period.

These factors may then be applied to model estimat es of future VMT. In this factoring process,

consideration will be given to differences betwee n HPMS and network-based travel models, such

as differences in the facility coverage of th e HPMS and the modeling network description.

TRAFFIC VALIDATION

The Fresno COG Model traffic validation is based on several criteria, including vehicle-miles of

travel, total volume by road type, screenlines, gateways and percent of links within acceptable

limits.

Vehicle Miles of Travel

Vehicle miles of travel (VMT) were estimated from the travel demand model by multiplying link

volumes by link distances. The model estimates intrazonal trips (trips remaining within a TAZ)

but does not assign these trips to the model road ne twork. The intrazonal trips were multiplied by

the estimated intrazonal distances to calculate intrazonal VMT.

# FRESNO COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS

JUNE 26, 2014

CONFORMITY ANALYSIS



# 26 The Caltrans HPMS 2008 estimate of VMT in Fresno County was 22,376,000. The 2008 model

base year estimated 22,077,974 VMT on the roadwa y links and 71,001 in intrazonal VMT for a

total of 22,148,975 VMT. The 2008 model estimate is 1% lower than the Caltrans 2008 HPMS

VMT target.

FUTURE NETWORKS

The conformity regulation requires that a listing of regionally significant projects and federallyfunded non-regionally significant projects assumed in the regional emissions analysis be provided

in the conformity documentation. In addition, all projects that are exempt must also be

documented.

§93.106(a)(2)ii and §93.122(a)(1) requires that regi onally significant additions or modifications

to the existing transportation network that are expect ed to be open to traffic in each analysis year

be documented for both Federally funded and non -federally funded projects (see Appendix B).

§93.122(a)(1) requires that VMT for non-regionall y significant Federal projects is accounted for

in the regional emissions analysis. It is assume d that all SJV MPOs include these projects in the

transportation network (see Appendix B).

§93.126, §93.127, §93.128 require that all projects in the TIP/RTP that are exempt from

conformity requirements or exempt from the re gional emissions analysis be documented. In

addition, the reason for the exemption (Table 2, Ta ble 3, traffic signal synchronization) must also

be documented (see Appendix B). It is important to note that the CTIPs exemption code is

provided in response to FHWA direction.

Supporting Documentation:

The build highway networks include qualifying projects based on the 2015 FTIP and 2014 RTP.

Not all of the street and freeway projects incl uded in the TIP/RTP qualify for inclusion in the

highway network. Projects that call for study, design, right-of-way acquisition, or non-capacity

improvements are not included in the networks. When these projects result in actual facility

construction projects, the associated capacity chan ges are coded into the network as appropriate.

Since the networks define capacity in terms of number of through traffic lanes, only construction

projects that increase the lane-miles of through traffic are included.

Generally, Valley TPA highway networks include all roadways included in the county or cities

classified system. These links typically include all freeways plus expressways, arterials, collectors

and local collectors. Highway networks also include regionally significant planned local

improvements from Transportation Impact Fee Programs and developer funded improvements

required to mitigate the impact of a new development.

Small-scale local street improvements contained in the TIP/RTP are not coded on the highway

network. Although not explicitly coded, traffic on collector and local streets is simulated in the

models by use of abstract links called “centroid connectors”. These represent local streets and

driveways which connect a neighborhood to a regi onally-significant roadway. Model estimates

The model used to estimate vehicle exhaust emissions for carbon monoxide, ozone precursors,

and particulate matter is EMFAC2011. CARB em ission factors for PM-10 have been used to

calculate re-entrained paved and unpaved road dust, and fugitive dust associated with road

construction. For the Conformity Analysis, m odel inputs not dependent on the TIP or RTP are

consistent with the applicable SIP, which include:

 The 2004 Revision to the California State Im plementation Plan for Carbon Monoxide was

approved by EPA on November 30, 2 005 (effective January 30, 2006).

 The 2007 Ozone Plan (as revised in 2011) w as approved by EPA on March 1, 2012 (effective

April 30, 2012)

 The 2007 PM-10 Maintenance Plan, which include d revisions to the attainment plan, was

approved (with minor technical corrections to the conformity budgets) by EPA on November

12, 2008.

 The 2008 PM2.5 Plan (as revised in 2011) was approved by EPA on November 9, 2011

(effective January 9, 2012).

The conformity regulation requirements for the selection of the horizon years are summarized in

Chapter 1; regional emissions have been estimated for the horizon years summarized in

Table 1-5.



# A. EMFAC2011

The EMFAC model (short for EMission FACtor) is a computer model that can estimate emission

rates for motor vehicles for calendar years from 1990 to 2035 operating in California. Pollutant

emissions for hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, lead, sulfur

oxides, and carbon dioxide are output from the mo del. Emissions are calculated for passenger

cars, light, heavy, and medium-duty trucks, motorcycles, urban and school buses and motor

homes.

EMFAC is used to calculate current and future inve ntories of motor vehicle emissions at the state,

county, air district, air basin, or county within air basin level. EMFAC contains default vehicle

activity data that can be used to estimate a mo tor vehicle emission inventory in tons/day for a

specific day, month, or season, and as a function of ambient temperature, relative humidity,

vehicle population, mileage accrual, miles of travel and speeds.

Section 93.111 of the conformity regulation requi res the use of the latest emission estimation

model in the development of conformity determin ations. EMFAC2011 is the latest update to the

EMFAC model for use by California State and lo cal governments to meet Clean Air Act (CAA,

1990) requirements. On March 6, 2013 EPA announced the availability of this latest version of

# FRESNO COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS

JUNE 26, 2014

CONFORMITY ANALYSIS



# 31 the California EMFAC model for use in SIP de velopment in California. EMFAC 2011 will be

required for conformity analysis begun on or after September 6, 2013. In accordance with

Section 93.111 the latest emission estimation model (EMFAC 2011) will be used in the 2014

RTP Conformity Demonstration.

In addition, EPA approved the CARB EMFA C2011 methodology for the San Joaquin Valley

Heavy Duty Diesel Vehicle-Vehicle Miles Trav eled (VMT) Recession Adjustment January 14,

2014. The methodology explains how VMT shoul d be updated in EMFAC2011 – SG. EPA and

FHWA also provided concurrence on the EMFAC2011

– SG Conformity Analysis and SB 375

Analysis Instructions for the San Joaquin Valley MPOs.

A transportation data template has been prepar ed to summarize the transportation model output

for use in EMFAC 2011. The template includ es allocating VMT by speed bin by modeling

period, as well as allocating VMT by vehicle classification to reflect the San Joaquin Valley

Heavy Duty Diesel VMT Recession Adjustment Methodology for input into EMFAC 2011.

EMFAC was used to estimate exhaust emissions for CO, ozone, PM-10, and PM2.5 conformity

demonstrations consistent with the applicable air quality plan. These estimates are further

reduced by SIP measures as documented in Chapter 2.



# B. ADDITIONAL PM-10 ESTIMATES

PM-10 emissions for re-entrained dust from trav el on paved and unpaved roads will be calculated

separately from roadway construction emissions. It is important to note that with the final

approval of the 2007 PM-10 Maintenance Plan, EPA approved a methodology to calculate PM-10

emissions from paved and unpaved roads in future San Joaquin Valley conformity

determinations. The Conformity Analysis u ses these methodologies and estimates constructionrelated PM-10 emissions consistent with th e 2007 PM-10 Maintenance Plan. The National

Ambient Air Quality Standards for PM-10 consists of a 24-hour standard, which is represented by

the motor vehicle emissions budgets established in the 2007 PM-10 Maintenance Plan. It is

important to note that EPA revoked the annual PM -10 Standard on October 17, 2006. The PM-10

emissions calculated for the conformity analysis represent emissions on an annual average day

and are used to satisfy the budget test.

CALCULATION OF REENTRAINED DUST FROM PAVED ROAD TRAVEL

On January 13, 2011 EPA released a new method for estimating re-entrained road dust emissions

from cars, trucks, buses, and motorcycles on paved roads. On February 4, 2011, EPA published

the Official Release of the January 2011 AP-42 Met hod for Estimating Re-Entrained Road Dust

from Paved Roads approving the January 2011 method for use in regional emissions analysis and

beginning a two year conformity grace period, af ter which use of the January 2011 AP-42 method

is required (e.g. February 4, 2013) in regional conformity analyses.

The road dust calculations have been updated to reflect this new methodology. More specifically,

the emission factor equation and k value (particle size multiplier) have been updated accordingly.

CARB default assumptions for roadway silt loadin g by roadway class, average vehicle weight,

# FRESNO COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS

JUNE 26, 2014

CONFORMITY ANALYSIS



# 32 and rainfall correction factor remain unchanged. Emissions are estimated for five roadway

classes including freeways, arterials, collectors, local roads, and rural roads. Countywide VMT

information is used for each road cl ass to prepare the emission estimates.

CALCULATION OF REENTRAINED DUST FROM UNPAVED ROAD TRAVEL

The base methodology for estimating unpaved road dust emissions is based on a CARB

methodology in which the miles of unpaved road are multiplied by the assumed VMT and an

emission factor. In the 2007 PM-10 Maintenance Plan, it is assumed that all non-agricultural

unpaved roads within the San Joaquin Valley recei ve 10 vehicle passes per day. An emission

factor of 2.0 lbs PM-10/VMT is used for the unpaved road dust emission estimates. Emissions

are estimated for city/county maintained roads.

CALCULATION OF PM-10 FROM ROADWAY CONSTRUCTION

Section 93.122(e) of the Transportation Conformity regulation requires that PM-10 from

construction-related fugitive dust be included in the regional PM- 10 emissions analysis, if it is

identified as a contributor to the nonattainment problem in the PM-10 implementation plan. The

emission estimates are based on a CARB methodology in which the miles of new road built are

converted to acres disturbed, which is then mu ltiplied by a generic project duration (i.e., 18

months) and an emission rate. Emission factor s are unchanged from the previous estimates at

0.11 tons PM-10/acre-month of activity. The emission factor includes the effects of typical

control measures, such as watering, which is assumed to reduce emissions by about 50%.

Updated activity data (i.e., new lane miles of ro adway built) is estimated based on the highway

and transit construction projects in the TIP/RTP.

PM-10 TRADING MECHANISM

The PM-10 SIP allows trading from the motor ve hicle emissions budget for the PM-10 precursor

NOx to the motor vehicle emissions budget for prim ary PM-10 using a 1.5 to 1 ratio. The trading

mechanism will be used only for conform ity analyses for analysis years after 2005.



# C. PM2.5 APPROACH

1997 Standard - EPA and FHWA have indicated that areas violating both the annual and 24-hour

standards for PM2.5 must address both standards in the conformity determination. The San

Joaquin Valley currently violates both standards, and the conformity determination includes both

analyses.

EPA issued guidance for creating annual on-road mobile source emission inventories for PM2.5

in August 2005 (EPA, 2005a). The guidance indicates that all areas currently designated

nonattainment for PM2.5 are violating the annual sta ndard for the pollutant. Therefore, in order

to be consistent with the standard, PM2.5 no nattainment areas must develop annual emission

# FRESNO COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS

JUNE 26, 2014

CONFORMITY ANALYSIS



# 33 inventories for the purpose of developing SI P budgets and demonstrating transportation

conformity.

2006 Standard – EPA published 2006 24-hour PM 2.5 standard Nonattainment area designations

on November 13, 2009 with an effective date of December 14, 2009. Conformity to the 2006 24-

hour PM2.5 standard began to apply on December 14, 2010. The 1997 sta ndards will continue to

apply as they were not revoked. It is important to note that the 2006 24-hour PM2.5

nonattainment area boundary for the San Joaquin Va lley is exactly the sa me as the nonattainment

area boundary for the 1997 annual standard.

The following PM2.5 approach addresses both the 1997 standards and the 20 06 24-hour standard:

EMFAC2011 incorporates data for temperature, re lative humidity, and char acteristics for gasoline

fuel sold that vary by geographic area, calenda r year, and month and season. The annual average

represents an average of all the monthly inventories. As a result, EMFAC will be run to estimate

direct PM2.5 and NOx emissions from motor vehicles for an annual average day.

EPA guidance indicates that State and local agen cies need to consider whether VMT varies

during the year enough to affect PM2.5 annual emission estimates. The availability of seasonal

or monthly VMT data and the corresponding variability of that data need to be evaluated.

PM2.5 areas that are currently using network based travel models must continue to use them

when calculating annual emission inventories. The guidance indicates that the interagency

consultation process should be used to determin e the appropriate approach to produce accurate

annual inventories for a given nonattainment area. Whichever approach is chosen, that approach

should be used consistently throughout the anal ysis for a given pollutant or precursor. The

interagency consultation process should also be used to determine whether significant seasonal

variations in the output of network based travel models are expected and whether these variations

would have a significant impact on PM2.5 emission estimates.

The SJV MPOs all use network based travel models. However, the models only estimate average

weekday VMT. The SJV MPOs do not have the da ta or ability to estimate seasonal variation at

this time. Data collection and analysis for so me studies are in the preliminary phases and cannot

be relied upon for other analyses. Some statew ide data for the seasonal variation of VMT on

freeways does exist. However, traffic patte rns on freeways do not necessarily represent the

typical traffic pattern for local streets and arterials.

In many cases, traffic counts are sponsored by the MPOs and conducted by local jurisdictions.

While some local jurisdictions may collect weekend or seasonal data, typical urban traffic counts

occur on weekdays (Tuesday through Thursday). Data collection must be more consistent in

order to begin estimation of da ily or seasonal variation.

The SJV MPOs believe that the average annual da y calculated from the current traffic models and

EMFAC2011 represent the most accurate VMT data available. The MPOs will continue to

discuss and research options that look at how VMT varies by month and season according to the

local traffic models.

CONFORMITY ANALYSIS



# 34 It is important to note that the guidance indicates that EPA expects the most thorough analysis for

developing annual inventories will occur during th e development of the SIP, taking into account

the needs and capabilities of air quality modeling tool s and the limitations of available data. Prior

to the development of the SIP, State and local air quality and transportation agencies may decide

to use simplified methods for regional conformity analyses.

It is important to note that the San Joaqui n Valley 2008 PM2.5 Plan (as revised in 2011) was

approved by EPA on November 9, 2011 (effec tive January 9, 2012). The annual inventory

methodology contained in the plan and used to est ablish emissions budgets is consistent with the

methodology used herein. The regional emissions analyses in PM2.5 nonattainment areas must

consider directly emitted PM2.5 motor vehicle emi ssions from tailpipe, brake wear, and tire wear.

In California, areas will use EMFAC2011. As indicated under the Conformity Test

Requirements, re-entrained road dust and cons truction-related fugitive dust from highway or

transit projects is not included at this time. In addition, NOx emissions are included; however,

VOC, SOx, and ammonia emissions are not.

1997 Standard – The 2008 PM2.5 Plan contains motor vehicle emission budgets for PM2.5 and

NOx established based on average annual daily em issions. The motor vehicle emissions budget

for PM2.5 includes directly emitted PM2.5 motor ve hicle emissions from tailpipe, brake wear and

tire wear. VOC, SOx, ammonia, and dust (fro m paved roads, unpaved roads, and road

construction) were found to be insignificant and not included in the motor vehicle emission

Amendments published on Marc h 24, 2010 (effective April 23, 2010) for 2006 PM2.5 NAAQS

Nonattainment areas, if a 2006 PM2.5 area has adeq uate or approved SIP budgets that address the

1997 standards, it must use the budget test to determ ine conformity for both of the NAAQS at the

same time.

PM2.5 TRADING MECHANISM

The PM2.5 SIP (as revised in 2011) allows trad ing from the motor vehicle emissions budget for

the PM2.5 precursor NOx to the motor vehicle em issions budget for primary PM2.5 using a 9 to 1

ratio. The trading mechanism will be used only fo r conformity analyses for analysis years after

2014.

# CHAPTER 4:

TRANSPORTATION CONTROL MEASURES

This chapter provides an update of the current st atus of transportation control measures identified

in applicable implementation plans. Requirement s of the Transportation Conformity regulation

relating to transportation control measures (TCMs) are presented first, followed by a review of

the applicable air quality implementation plans and TCM findings for the TIP/RTP.



# A. TRANSPORTATION CONFORMITY REGULATION REQUIREMENTS

FOR TCMS

The Transportation Conformity regulation requires that the TIP/RTP “must provide for the timely

implementation of TCMs in the applicable impl ementation plan.” The Federal definition for the

term “transportation control measure” is provided in 40 CFR 93.101:

“any measure that is specifically identif ied and committed to in the applicable

implementation plan that is either one of the types listed in Section 108 of the CAA

[Clean Air Act], or any other measure fo r the purpose of reducing emissions or

concentrations of air pollutants from tran sportation sources by reducing vehicle use

or changing traffic flow or congestion cond itions. Notwithstanding the first sentence

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

measures which control the emissions from ve hicles under fixed traffic conditions are

not TCMs for the purposes of this subpart.”

In the Transportation Conformity regulation, th e definition provided for the term “applicable

implementation plan” is:

“Applicable implementation plan is define d in section 302(q) of the CAA and means

the portion (or portions) of the implementation plan, or most recent revision thereof,

which has been approved under section 110, or promulgated under section 110(c), or

promulgated or approved pursuant to regul ations promulgated under section 301(d)

and which implements the releva nt requirements of the CAA.”

Section 108(f)(1) of the Clean Air Act as amende d in 1990 lists the following transportation

control measures and technology-based measures:

(i) programs for improved public transit;

(ii) restriction of certain roads or lanes to, or c onstruction of such roads or lanes for use by,

passenger buses or high occupancy vehicles;

(iii) employer-based transportation manageme nt plans, including incentives;

(iv) trip-reduction ordinances;

# FRESNO COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS

JUNE 26, 2014

CONFORMITY ANALYSIS



# 37 (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;

(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 a nd other facilities, including bicycle lanes,

for the convenience and protection of bicyc lists, in both public and private areas;

(xi) programs to control extended idling of vehicles;

(xii) programs to reduce motor vehicle emissions, cons istent with title II, which are caused by

extreme cold start conditions;

(xiii) employer-sponsored programs to permit flexible work schedules;

(xiv) programs and ordinances to facilitate non-auto mobile 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 effort s 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 recons tructions 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. For purposes of this clause, the

Administrator shall also consult with the Secretary of the Interior; and

(xvi) program to encourage the voluntary removal from use and the marketplace of pre-1980

model year light duty vehicles and pre-1980 model light duty trucks.

TCM REQUIREMENTS FOR A TRANSPORTATION PLAN

The EPA regulations in 40 CFR 93.113(b) in dicate that transportation control measure

requirements for transportation plans are satisfied if two criteria are met:

“(1) The transportation plan, in describing the envisioned future transportation system,

provides for the timely completion or implementation of all TCMs in the applicable

implementation plan which are eligible for funding under Title 23 U.S.C. or the Federal

Transit Laws, consistent with schedules incl uded in the applicable implementation plan.

(2) Nothing in the transportation plan interfere s with the implementation of any TCM in the

applicable implementation plan.”

# FRESNO COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS

JUNE 26, 2014

CONFORMITY ANALYSIS



# 38 TCM REQUIREMENTS FOR A TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM

Similarly, in 40 CFR Section 93.113(c), EPA specifies three TCM criteria applicable to a

transportation improvement program:

“(1) An examination of the specific steps a nd 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 th e schedule established in the applicable

implementation plan, or, if such TCMs are behi nd the schedule established in the applicable

implementation plan, the MPO and DOT have determined that past obstacles to

implementation of the TCMs have been identif ied and have been or are being overcome,

and that all State and local agencies with infl uence 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 outs ide 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 rea llocated 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.”



# B. APPLICABLE AIR QUALITY IMPLEMENTATION PLANS

Only transportation control measures from appli cable implementation plans for the San Joaquin

Valley region are required to be updated for this analysis. For the Conformity Analysis, the

applicable implementation plans, according to the de finition provided at the start of this chapter,

are summarized below.



# APPLICABLE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN FOR CARBON MONOXIDE

The 2004 Revision to the California State Implementation Plan for Carbon Monoxide was

approved by EPA on November 30, 2005 (effective January 30, 2006). However, the Plan does

not include TCMs for the San Joaquin Valley.

# FRESNO COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS

JUNE 26, 2014

CONFORMITY ANALYSIS



# 39 APPLICABLE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN FOR OZONE



# The 2007 Ozone Plan (as revised in 2011) was approved by EPA on March 1, 2012 (effective

April 30, 2012). However, the Plan does not include TCMs for the San Joaquin Valley.

APPLICABLE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN FOR PM-10

The 2007 PM-10 Maintenance Plan was approved by EPA on November 12, 2008. No new local

agency control measures were included in the Plan.

The Amended 2003 PM-10 Plan was approved by EPA on May 26, 2004 (effective June 25,

2004). A local government control measure ass essment was completed for this plan. The

analysis focused on transportation-related f ugitive dust emissions, which are not TCMs by

definition. The local government commitments are included in the Regional Transportation

Planning Agency Commitments for Implementation Document, April 2003

.

However, the Amended 2002 and 2005 Ozone Rate of Progress Plan contains commitments that

reduce ozone related emissions; these measures are documented in the Regional Transportation

Planning Agency Commitments for Implementation Document, April 2002. These commitments

are included by reference in the Amended 2003 PM-10 Plan to provide emission reductions for

precursor gases and help to address the secondary particulate problem. Since these commitments

are included in the Plan by reference, the commitments were approved by EPA as TCMs.



# APPLICABLE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN FOR PM2.5

The 2008 PM2.5 Plan (as revised in 2011) was a pproved by EPA on Novemb er 9, 2011 (effective

January 9, 2012). However, the Plan does not include TCMs for the San Joaquin Valley.



# C. IDENTIFICATION OF 2002 RACM THAT REQUIRE TIMELY

IMPLEMENTATION DOCUMENTATION

As part of the 2004 Conformity Determination, FHWA requested that each SIP (Reasonably

Available Control Measure - RACM) commitment c ontaining Federal transportation funding and

a transportation project and schedule be addressed more specifically. FHWA verbally requested

documentation that the funds were obligated and the project was implemented as committed to in

the SIP.

The RTPA Commitment Documents, Volumes One and Two, dated April 2002 (Ozone RACM)

were reviewed, using a “Summary of Commitments ” table. Commitments that contain specific

Federal funding/transportation projects/schedules we re identified for further documentation. In

some cases, local jurisdictions used the same Federal funding/transportation projects/schedules

for various measures; these were identified as combined with (“comb w/”) reference as

# FRESNO COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS

JUNE 26, 2014

CONFORMITY ANALYSIS



# 40 appropriate. A not applicable (“NA”) was not ed where federally-funded project is vehicle

technology based, fuel based, and maintenance based measures (e.g., LEV program, retrofit

programs, clean fuels - CNG buses, etc.).

In addition, the RTPA Commitment Document, Volume Three, dated April 2003 (PM-10

BACM) was reviewed, using the Summary of Comm itments table. Commitments that contain

specific Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) funding for the purchase and/or

operation of street sweeping equipment have been identified. Only one commitment (Fresno -

City of Reedley) was identified.

The Project TID Table was developed to provi de implementation documentation necessary for

the measures identified. Detailed information is summarized in the first five columns, including

the commitment number, agency, description, funding and schedule (i f applicable).

For each project listed, the TIP in which the project was programmed, as well as the project ID

and description have been provided. In addition, the current implementation status of the project

has been included (e.g., complete, under constr uction, etc). MPO staff determined this

information in consultation with the appropriate local jurisdiction. Any projects not implemented

according to schedule or project changes are expl ained in the project status column. These

explanations are consistent with the guidance and regulations provided in the Transportation

Conformity regulation.

Supplemental documentation was provided to FH WA in August and Sept ember 2004 in response

to requests for information on timely implementa tion of TCMs in the San Joaquin Valley. The

supplemental documentation included the appr oach, summary of interagency consultation

correspondence, and three tables completed by each of the eight MPOs. The Supplemental

Documentation was subsequently approved by FHWA as part of the 2004 Conformity

Determination.

The Project TID table that was prepared at the request of FHWA for the 2004 Conformity

Analysis, has been updated in each subsequent conformity analysis including the 2013 FTIP and

2011 RTP as amended. This documentation has been updated as part of this Conformity

Analysis. A summary of this information is provided in Appendix D.

In March 2005, the SJV MPOs be gan interagency consultation wi th FHWA and EPA to address

outstanding RACM/TCM issues. In general, crit eria were developed to identify commitments

that require timely implementation documentation. The criteria were applied to the 2002 RACM

Commitments approved by reference as part of the Amended 2003 PM-10 Plan. In April 2006,

EPA transmitted final tables that identified the approved RACM commitments that require timely

implementation documentation for the Conformity Analysis. Subsequently, an approach to

provide timely implementation documentation was developed in consultation with FHWA.

A new 2002 RACM TID Table was prepared in 2006 to address the more general RACM

commitments that require additional timely im plementation documentation per EPA. A brief

summary of the commitment, including finite en d dates if applicable, is included for each

measure. The MPOs provided a status update rega rding implementation in consultation with their

member jurisdictions. If a specific project has b een implemented, it is included in the Project

TID Table under “Additional Projects Identified” . This documentation was included in the

in October 2006 as well as the 2013 TIP and 2011 RTP as amended. The 2002 RACM TID Table

has been updated as part of this Conformity Analysis. A summary of this information is provided

in Appendix D.



# D. TCM FINDINGS FOR THE TIP AND REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION

PLAN

Based on a review of the transportation control m easures contained in the applicable air quality

plans, as documented in the two tables containe d in Appendix D, the required TCM conformity

findings are made below:

The TIP/RTP provide for the timely completi on or implementation of the TCMs in the

applicable air quality plans. In addition, nothing in the TIP or RTP interferes with the

implementation of any TCM in the applicable implementation plan, and priority is given

to TCMs.



# E. RTP CONTROL MEASURE ANALYSIS IN SUPPORT OF 2003 PM-10

PLAN

In May 2003, the San Joaquin Valley MPO Execu tive Directors committed to conduct feasibility

analyses as part of each new RTP in support of the 2003 PM-10 Plan. This commitment was

retained in the 2007 PM-10 Maintenance Plan. In accordance with this commitment, FRESNO

COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS undertook a process to identify and evaluate potential control

measures that could be included in the 2014 RTP. The analysis of additional measures included

verification of the feasibility of the measures in the PM-10 Plan BACM analysis, as well as an

analysis of new PM-10 commitments fr om other PM-10 nonattainment areas.

A summary of the process to identify potential l ong-range control measures analysis and results

to be evaluated as part of the RTP developmen t was transmitted to the Interagency Consultation

(IAC) partners for review. FHWA and EPA c oncurred with the summary of the long-range

control measure approach in September 2009.

The Local Government Control Measures consider ed in the PM-10 Plan BACM analysis that

were considered for inclusi on in the 2014 RTP included:

 Paving or Stabilizing Unpaved Roads and Alleys

 Curbing, Paving, or Stabilizing Shoulders on Paved Roads

 Frequent Routine Sweeping or Cleaning of Pa ved Roads (i.e., funding allocation for the

purchase of PM-10 efficient street sweepers for member jurisdictions)

 Repave or Overlay Paved Ro ads with Rubberized Asphalt

It is important to note that the first three measu res considered in the PM-10 Plan BACM analysis

(i.e., access points, street cleaning requirements, and erosion clean up) are not applicable for

inclusion in the RTP.

# FRESNO COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS

JUNE 26, 2014

CONFORMITY ANALYSIS



# 42 With the adoption of each new RTP, the MPOs w ill consider the feasibility of these measures, as

well as identify any other new PM-10 measures that would be relevant to the San Joaquin Valley.

FRESNO COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS also considered PM-10 commitments from other

PM-10 nonattainment areas that had been deve loped since the previous RTP was approved.

Federal websites were reviewed for any PM-10 plans that have been adopted since 2009. New

PM-10 plans that have been reviewed include:

a. Puerto Rico, Municipality of Guaynabo, PM- 10 Limited Maintenance Plan, submitted March

2009 (EPA adequacy issued 8/25/09). On-road f ugitive dust controls include paving, street

sweeping and stabilization controls.

b. Nogales, AZ PM-10 Attainment Demonstrati on, EPA approval notice signed 8/24/12. Onroad fugitive dust controls include paving pr ojects and capital improvement projects @ the

Ports of Entry.

c. Coso Junction, CA PM-10 Maintenance Plan, dated May 17, 2010 (EPA adequacy issued

9/3/10). No transportation control meas ures; transportation projects “exempt”.

d. Sacramento, CA PM-10 Implementation / Mainte nance Plan, dated October 28, 2010. No

new control measures included; no existing on-road controls either.

e. Truckee Meadows, NV PM-10 Maintenance Plan , adopted May 2009 (EPA adequacy issued

6/2/10). On-road fugitive dust controls include sweeping and sanding; contingency measures

have already been considered in SJV analysis.

f. Eagle River, AK PM-10 Maintenance Plan, a dopted August 2010 (EPA adequacy issued

5/14/12). On-road fugitive dust controls includes paving, winter traction sand; contingency

measures include sweeping.

Based on review of commitments from other PM-10 nonattainment areas that have been

developed since the previous RTP, no additiona l on-road fugitive dust controls measures are

available for consideration.

Based on consultation with CARB and the Air District, FRESNO COUNCIL OF

GOVERNMENTS considered priority funding allo cations in the 2014 RTPs for PM-10 and NOx

emission reduction projects in the post-attainment year timeframe that go beyond the emission

reduction commitments made for the attainment year 2010 for the following four measures:

(1) Paving or Stabilizing Unpaved Roads and Alleys

(2) Curbing, Paving, or Stabilizing Shoulders on Paved Roads

(3) Frequent Routine Sweeping or Cleaning of Pa ved Roads (i.e., funding allocation for the

purchase of PM-10 efficient street sweepers for member jurisdictions); and

(4) Repave or Overlay Paved Ro ads with Rubberized Asphalt

Fresno COG continues to actively include the reduction of PM10 emissions (typical projects

above list #1 through #3) in the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) Improvement

Program. PM10 is included in the “Project Cate gory Goals”. PM10 is evaluated and prioritized

# FRESNO COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS

JUNE 26, 2014

CONFORMITY ANALYSIS



# 43 in the CMAQ Scoring Criteria under the “Air Po llutant Emission Reduction” Category (20 points

possible out of 100) as well as receiving consideration in the “Subjective Evaluation” (20 points

possible out of 100). PM10 projects also are given priority if they meet the criteria of being costeffective (30 points out of 100) Information regarding Fresno COG’s CMAQ Program can be

found at: http://www.fresnocog.org/.

Fresno COG has explored the feasibility of incor porating the use of rubberized asphalt in repave

or overlay projects. Currently, California Depart ment of Transportation (Caltrans) incorporates

rubberized asphalt as general policy to meet recycl ed content requirements on high volume state

highway facilities. Caltrans is required by AB 33 8 (Levine) to incremen tally phase in increased

use of rubberized-asphalt concrete (RAC) not less than 25% by ton after January 1, 2010 and not

less than 35% by ton after January 1, 2013. Caltr ans (District 6) found that rubberized asphalt is

problematic when used where traffic stops and star ts (i.e., signalized local streets). The material

has been found to break down prematurely and te nds to “shove and tear” in stop-and-go traffic

applications. Rubberized asphalt has been found to have useful application for noise reduction

purposes. There is work currently in process to develop commercial viab ility of low-greenhouse

gas Portland Cement Concrete which may be pref erable to rubberized asphalt for greenhouse gas

reduction.

The application of rubberized asphalt technology can reduce tire wear dust (PM10). The cost

effectiveness for roads with annual daily traffi c of 2,500 vehicles per lane mile per day is

estimated at $4,290,000 per ton. ( Analysis of Particulate Control Measures Effectiveness Interim

Report #2, Sierra Research, February 15, 2007; Maricopa, Arizona, Association of

Governments) . The limitations imposed by the high cost and limited applicability to free flowing

high volume highway use prove to make this of limited application on local streets in the Fresno

region.

Rubberized asphalt is incorporated in transpor tation projects where it is feasible. Fresno COG

will continue to explore the feasibility of new technology in the reduction of transportation

sources of air pollutant emissions.

# CHAPTER 5:

INTERAGENCY CONSULTATION

The requirements for consultation procedures ar e listed in the Transportation Conformity

Regulations under section 93.105. Consultation is necessary to ensure communication and

coordination among air and transportation agencies at the local, State and Federal levels on issues

that would affect the conformity analysis su ch as the underlying assumptions and methodologies

used to prepare the analysis. Section 93.105 of the conformity regulation notes that there is a

requirement to develop a conformity SIP that includes procedures for interagency consultation,

resolution of conflicts, and public consultation as described in paragr aphs (a) through (e). Section

93.105(a)(2) states that prior to EPA approval of the conformity SIP, “MPOs and State

departments of transportation must provide reas onable opportunity for consultation with State air

agencies, local air quality and transportation ag encies, DOT and EPA, including consultation on

the issues described in paragraph (c)(1) of this section, before making conformity

determinations.” The Air District adopted Ru le 9120 Transportation Conformity on January 19,

1995 in response to requirements in Section 176(c)(4)(c) of the Clean Air Act as amended in

1990. Since EPA has not approved Rule 9120 (the conformity SIP), the conformity regulation

requires compliance with 40 CFR 93.105 (a)(2) and (e) and 23 CFR 450.

Section 93.112 of the conformity regulation requi res documentation of the interagency and public

consultation requirements according to Secti on 93.105. A summary of the interagency

consultation and public consulta tion conducted to comply with these requirements is provided

below. Appendix E includes the public m eeting process documentation. The responses to

comments received as part of the public co mment process are included in Appendix F.



# A. INTERAGENCY CONSULTATION

Consultation is generally conduc ted through the San Joaquin Va lley Interagency Consultation

Group (combination of previous Model Coordi nating Committee and Programming Coordinating

Group). The San Joaquin Valley Interagency C onsultation (IAC) Group has been established by

the Valley Transportation Planning Agency's Dire ctor's Association to provide a coordinated

approach to valley transportation planning and programming (Transportation Improvement

Program, Regional Transportation Plan, and Amen dments), transportation conformity, climate

change, and air quality (State Im plementation Plan and Rules). The purpose of the group is to

ensure Valley wide coordination, communicati on and compliance with Federal and California

Transportation Planning and Clean Air Act requirements. Each of the eight Valley MPOs and the

Air District are represented. In addition, the Federal Highway Administration, Federal Transit

Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency, the California Air Resources Board and

Caltrans (Headquarters, District 6, and District 10) are all represented. The IAC Group meets

approximately quarterly.

The interagency consultation process for the 2015 FTIP, 2014 RTP, and corresponding

Conformity Analysis began on the Septembe r 2013 IAC conference call. Discussion topics

included the draft schedule, procedures and documen tation, including analysis years. In August

# 45 2013, the Draft Conformity Analysis Years, La test Planning Assumptions and Transportation

Modeling, Air Quality Modeling, Transportation Control Measures, and Draft Conformity

Procedures for Regional Emissions Estimates were transmitted for IAC. EPA and FHWA

provided concurrence in September 2013. EPA a nd FHWA concurrence for the draft boilerplate

document was provided in January 2014. Minor ed itorial updates in response to IAC have been

incorporated. In addition, EPA approved the San Joaquin Valley Heavy Duty Diesel Vehicle

VMT Recession Adjustment Methodology on January 14, 2014.

Interagency consultation also included the local transportation providers in the MPO region.

Fresno COG has a Memorandum of Understa nding (MOU) with Fresno Area Express (FAX),

Fresno County Rural Transit Agency (FCRTA) and Clovis Stageline Transit Services (Clovis

Transit) regarding transit planning in Fresno County. The 2015 FTIP and 2014 RTP are

developed in consultation with these transit agen cies, as well as the 15 incorporated cities and the

County of Fresno. The Fresno Council of Govern ments worked with these providers through the

Fresno COG Transportation Technical Committee, the Policy Advisory Committee and the

Fresno COG Policy Board to develop and a pprove the FTIP/RTP, and the corresponding

conformity analysis. In addition to the citi es and the county, many of these committees include

representatives from Caltrans District 6. The draft 2015 FTIP and the draft 2014 RTP were

included as agenda items for the monthly committee meetings in March, April and May 2014. In

addition Fresno COG publishes two electronic ne wsletters: the monthly “COG Board Actions

Newsletter” and the weekly “Coming Up...At Fresno COG” which are widely distributed to all

interested individuals and stakeholders.

The Draft 2014 RTP, 2015 FTIP, and corresponding Conformity Analysis were released on

March 21, 2014 for a 55-day public comment period , followed by Board adoption in June 2014.

Federal approval of the 2014 RTP, 2015 FTIP, and Conformity Analysis is anticipated by

December 14, 2014.



# B. PUBLIC CONSULTATION

In general, agencies making conformity determ inations shall establish a proactive public

involvement process that provides opportunity for public review and comment on a conformity

determination for FTIPs/RTPs. In addition, all p ublic comments must be addressed in writing.

All MPOs in the San Joaquin Valley have sta ndard public involvement procedures The Fresno

COG adopted consultation process and policy for c onformity analysis includes a 30-day comment

period followed by a public hearing. For th e 2014 RTP and 2015 FTIP process Fresno COG will

use a 55-day comment period including two public he arings. A public hearing is also conducted

prior to adoption and all public comments are responded to in writing. The Appendices contain

corresponding documentation supporting the public involvement procedures.

# CHAPTER 6:

TIP AND RTP CONFORMITY

The principal requirements of the transportati on conformity regulation for TIP/RTP assessments

are: (1) the TIP and RTP must pass an emissions budget test with a budget that has been found to

be adequate by EPA for transportation conformity purposes, or an interim emission test; (2) the

latest planning assumptions and emission models must be employed; (3) the TIP and RTP must

provide for the timely implementation of transpor tation control measures (TCMs) specified in the

applicable air quality implementation plans; and (4) consultation. The final determination of

conformity for the TIP/RTP is the responsibility of the Federal Highway Administration and the

Federal Transit Administration.

The previous chapters and the appendices presen t the documentation for all of the requirements

listed above for conformity determinations except for the confor mity test results. Prior chapters

have also addressed the updated documentation required under the tran sportation conformity

regulation for the latest planning assumptions a nd the implementation of transportation control

measures specified in the applicable air quality implementation plans.

This chapter presents the results of the conformity tests, satisfying the remaining requirement of

the transportation conformity regulation. Se parate tests were conducted for carbon monoxide

(CO), 8-hour ozone (ROG and NOx), PM-10 and PM2.5. The applicable conformity tests were

reviewed in Chapter 1. For each test, the requi red emissions estimates were developed using the

transportation and emission modeling approaches required under the transportation conformity

regulation and summarized in Chapters 2 and 3. The results are summarized below, followed by a

more detailed discussion of the findings for each pollutant. Table 6-1 presents results for CO,

ozone (ROG/NOx), PM-10 (PM-10/NOx), and PM2.5 (PM2.5/NOx) respectively, in tons per day

for each of the horizon years tested.

For carbon monoxide, the applicable conformity test is the emissions budget test, using the

budgets established in the 2004 Revision to the Ca lifornia State Implementation Plan for Carbon

Monoxide. The carbon monoxide budgets were approved by EPA for conformity purposes,

effective January 30, 2006. The modeling results i ndicated that the on-road vehicle CO emissions

predicted for the “Build” scenario for 2017 are l ess than the 2010 emissions budgets and 2018,

2025, 2035 and 2040 are less than the 2018 emissions budget. The TIP/RTP therefore satisfy the

conformity emissions test for carbon monoxide.

For ozone, the applicable conformity test is the emissions budget test, using the 2007 Ozone Plan

(as revised in 2011) budgets established for ROG and NOx for an average summer (ozone)

season day. EPA approved the Plan and conformity budgets (as revised in 2011) on March 1,

2012, effective April 30. The modeling results for all analysis years indicate that the on-road

vehicle ROG and NOx emissions predicted for each of the “Build” scenarios are less than the

emissions budgets. The TIP/RTP therefore satisfy the conformity emissions test for volatile

organic compounds and nitrogen oxides.

# FRESNO COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS

# For PM-10, the applicable conformity test is the emissions budget test, using the 2007 PM-10

Maintenance Plan budgets for PM-10 and NOx. This Plan was approved (with minor technical

corrections to the conformity budgets) by EPA on November 12, 2008. The modeling results for

all analysis years indicate that the PM-10 emissi ons predicted for the “Build” scenarios are less

than the emissions budget for 2020. The TIP/RTP th erefore satisfy the conformity emissions tests

for PM-10.

1997 Standards: For PM2.5, the applicable conf ormity test is the emission budget test, using

budgets established in the 2008 PM2.5 Plan. EPA approved the 2008 PM2.5 Plan (as revised in

2011) November 9, 2011 (effective January 9, 2012) . The modeling results for all analysis years

indicate that the on-road vehicle PM2.5 and NOx emissions predicted for the “Build” scenarios

are less than the emissions budget. The TIP/RTP therefore satisfy the conformity emissions test

for PM2.5 and nitrogen oxides.

2006 Standard: In accordance with Trans portation Conformity Rule PM2.5 and PM10

Amendments published on Marc h 24, 2010 (effective April 23, 2010) for 2006 PM2.5 NAAQS

Nonattainment areas, if a 2006 PM2.5 area has adeq uate or approved SIP budgets that address the

1997 standards, it must use the budget test. For PM2.5, the applicable conformity test is the

emission budget test, using budgets established in the 2008 PM2.5 Plan (as revised in 2011).

EPA approved the 2008 PM2.5 Plan (as revised in 2011) November 9, 2011 (effective January 9,

2012) The modeling results for all analysis years indicate that the on-road vehicle PM2.5 and

NOx emissions predicted for the “Build” scenario s are less than the emissions budget. The

TIP/RTP therefore satisfy the conformity emissions test for PM2.5 and nitrogen oxides.

As all requirements of the Transportation Conform ity regulation have been satisfied, a finding of

conformity for the Draft 2015 Federal Tran sportation Improvement Program and the 2014

Regional Transportation Plan is supported.

(CEQA) for the 2014 Regional Transportation Plan and Sustainable Communities

implement the plan. Additional areas of emphasis in the 2014 RTP include an

Environmental Justice Report and Sustainable Communities Strategy. In addition, the

2014 RTP includes updated project lists and performance measures. Projects are
