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 regulations (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 criteria specified in the transportation conformity 

regulations for a conformity determination are 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 financially 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 assessment, 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 conformity determinations for transportation plans, 

programs, and projects and their respective amendments. The Federal transportation conformity 

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

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

revised several times since its initial release to reflect 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 which the area is designated nonattainment or has a 

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

designated as nonattainment with respect to Federal 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/metropolitan areas of Kern, Fresno, Stanislaus and San

Joaquin Counties. Therefore, transportation plans and programs for the nonattainment areas for 

the Fresno County area must satisfy the requirements 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 conformity 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 applicable air quality implementation plans; and 

(4) interagency and public consultation. 

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

Consultation Group to ensure Valley-wide coordination, 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 (included in Appendix A) that contains the 

required items to complete a conformity determination. Appropriate references to these items are 

noted on the checklist. 

CONFORMITY TESTS 

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

emissions budget test, and (2) the interim emission 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 implementation 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 nonattainment 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 applicable pollutant. All analyses were

conducted using the latest planning assumptions and 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 vehicle-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-related 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 vehicle-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 documented 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 conducted in accordance with Federal requirements. 

REPORT ORGANIZATION 

The report is organized into six chapters. Chapter 1 provides an overview of the applicable 

Federal and State conformity regulations and requirements, air quality implementation plans, and 

conformity test requirements. Chapter 2 contains a discussion of the latest planning assumptions 

and transportation modeling. Chapter 3 describes the air quality modeling used to estimate 

emission factors and mobile source emissions. Chapter 4 contains the documentation required 

under the Federal transportation conformity regulation for transportation control measures. 

Chapter 5 provides an overview of the interagency requirements and the general approach to 

compliance used by the San Joaquin Valley MPOs. The results of the conformity analysis for the 

TIP/RTP are provided in Chapter 6.

CHAPTER 1: 

FEDERAL AND STATE REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS

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

transportation conformity regulation (40 CFR Parts 51 and 93) and the applicable conformity 

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

Conformity Analysis for the 2015 Federal Transportation 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 conformity 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, expansion, 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 project 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 air 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 required interim emission reductions or other 

milestones in any area.” 

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

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

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

FEDERAL RULE 

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

completed through the issuance of supplemental interim 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 Conformity 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 Rule PM2.5 and PM10 Amendments on March 24, 

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

rule amends the conformity regulation to address 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 nonattainment and maintenance areas. 

On March 14, 2012, EPA published the Transportation Conformity Rule Restructuring 

Amendments, effective April 13, 2012 (EPA, 2012). 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 Conformity 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 multiple 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 nonattainment area. However, separate modeling and 

conformity documents may be developed by each MPO. 

Part 3 of the guidance applies to nonattainment areas 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 determinations for their plans and TIPs as long as all of the other 

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

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

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

published on March 24, 2010 effectively incorporates the “multi-jurisdictional” guidance directly 

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

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

CONFORMITY ANALYSIS

transportation plans and TIPs in place at the time of each MPO and DOT conformity 

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 Amendments. Rule 9120 contains the Transportation 

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

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

Transportation Conformity Rule, Rule 9120 was submitted to EPA on January 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, conformity 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 conformity SIP has not been approved for the SJV, 

the Federal transportation conformity rule still governs. 

B. CONFORMITY REGULATION REQUIREMENTS 

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

conformity determinations, regardless of pollutant 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 order for a determination of conformity to be 

found. The final transportation conformity regulation 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 assumptions 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

used in the Conformity Analysis and is documented 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 demonstrate that the plan and/or program is not 

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

Conformity Analysis. 

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

accordance with the consultation procedures outlined in the Federal regulations. These 

include: 

 MPOs are required to provide reasonable opportunity 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 prior to taking formal action on a conformity 

determination (Section 93.105(e)). 

The TIP, RTP, and corresponding conformity determinations 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 available 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) requires documentation of the applicable pollutants 

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

addition, the nonattainment or maintenance area 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 designated as nonattainment for the National Ambient Air 

Quality Standards (NAAQS) for 8-hour ozone (1997 and 2008 standard), and particulate matter 

under 2.5 microns in diameter (PM2.5) (1997 and 2006 standards); and has a maintenance plan 
FRESNO COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS

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

carbon monoxide (CO) for the urbanized/metropolitan 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 included 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 Quality Designations for the 2006 24-hour PM2.5 

standard, effective December 14, 2009. Nonattainment areas are required to meet the standard by 

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

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

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

as the nonattainment area boundary for the 1997 annual standard. 

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

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

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

are found adequate or approved. The new attainment 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 Implementation 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 for use and that the 2008 PM2.5 Plan conformity 

budgets are the only budgets applicable and are used for this demonstration. 

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

effective July 20, 2012; the attainment year for 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 demonstrations was received on July 8, 2013. 

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

for transportation conformity purposes. 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 standards, 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 approved. 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 precursor, whether the interim emissions tests and/or 

the budget test apply for conformity. In addition, 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 established for the San Joaquin Valley nonattainment areas 

for carbon monoxide, ozone, and particulate 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) explicitly 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 entire nonattainment area.” Each applicable 

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

vehicle emission budgets by county, to facilitate 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 conformity 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 conformity 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 standard also revoked the 1997 ozone standard for 

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

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

SIP motor vehicle emissions budgets for a prior 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 (ROG) 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 April 30, 2012. The SIP identified 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 conduct 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 

RTP and 2015 FTIP.

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 travel on paved roads, vehicular exhaust, travel 

on unpaved roads, and road construction. 

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

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

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

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

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

mechanism allows the agencies responsible for demonstrating transportation conformity in the 

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

for NOx, and use these adjusted motor vehicle 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 Plan (with minor technical corrections to the 

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

mechanism. 

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

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

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

remaining after the NOx budget has been met.

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. 

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

discussion under Air Quality Designations Applicable 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 directly 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 found to be insignificant and not included in the 

motor vehicle emission budgets for conformity purposes. The conformity budgets from table 5 

of the November 9, 2011 Federal Register are 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. The SIP has identified subarea budgets for each 

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

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

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

mechanism that allows trading from the motor vehicle 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 agencies 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 vehicle 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 conformity analyses for analysis years after 2014. 

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

NOx emission reductions available to supplement 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 Implementation Rule may postpone EPA’s action on 

the Plan. EPA published a proposed rule on November 21, 2013 to address 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 for use and 

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

this demonstration.

As noted above, in accordance with the EPA Transportation Conformity Rule Restructuring 

Amendments Nonattainment areas allows 2006 PM2.5 areas with adequate or approved 1997 

PM2.5 budgets to determine conformity for both of the NAAQS at the same time, using the 

budget test. 

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 transportation 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 applicable implementation plan specifically establishes 

motor vehicle emission budgets. 

Section 93.118(b)(2) clarifies that when a maintenance plan has been submitted, conformity must 

be demonstrated for the last year of the maintenance 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 analysis 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.

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 demonstrated, 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 performed. 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 areas 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 estimates.” On January 18, 2001, the USDOT issued guidance developed 

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

assumptions in conformity determinations (USDOT, 2001). 

According to the conformity regulation, the time the 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 transportation model updates and latest planning 

assumptions was transmitted to the San Joaquin 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 information 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 anticipated schedule for 

updating assumptions. 

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

effectiveness of the transportation control measures (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, written justification for the use of older data must be 

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

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

employment and residences for each alternative.

Supporting Documentation: 

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 planning 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 and housing units. Other 

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

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

The Planning Center forecasts are based on several different projections including household 

trend, total housing unit trend, housing construction trend, employment trend, cohort-component 

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

curve-fitting techniques (e.g., parabolic curve, logistic 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 Development 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 expected 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 County will manifest not in new development but 

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

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

the following formula: 

Where 

HH2008 = number of total households in Fresno County in 2008 (the base year) = 308,047

HHsizeN = projected average countywide household size for target year N 

HHsize2008 = 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 jurisdictions based on the historic shares of housing 

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

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

B. TRANSPORTATION MODELING 

The San Joaquin Valley Metropolitan Planning Organizations (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 network 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 thousands 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 developed considering local agency circulation 

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

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

assignment methodology, and the data from the model 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 reasonableness 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 including the cities of Clovis, Coalinga, Firebaugh,

Fowler, Fresno, Huron, Kerman, Kingsburg, Mendota, Orange Cove, Parlier, Reedley, San 

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

zones. The model roadway network includes over 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 networks 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 sub-committee of the Fresno COG Transportation 

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

constantly being updated based upon the latest planning information. 

TRAFFIC COUNTS 

The conformity regulation requires documentation that 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.).

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

revalidation to a new base year of 2008 in 2013. 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 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 analyzed screenlines throughout Fresno County.

Fresno COG maintains a Regional Traffic Monitoring 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 documentation of the use of capacity sensitive assignment 

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

and off-peak volumes and speeds, and bases speeds 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 final assigned traffic volumes. Where transit is a 

significant factor, document that zone-to-zone travel 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 from 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 latest 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 final traffic assignment and as input to the air quality analysis are 

consistent with the travel impedances 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 after traffic assignment compare closely with the 

travel times used as input to the trip distribution process. 

In an effort to meet all Transportation Conformity 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).

TRANSIT 

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

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

the latest transit fares and road and bridge tolls. 

Supporting Documentation: 

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

transit services in Fresno County, including Fresno 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 Service 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 attractiveness 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 network. Transit trips are assigned to the single best 

path based on in-vehicle time plus 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 occurring during the A.M. three- hour peak period 

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

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

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

hours and are assigned to the off-peak transit service (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 attraction 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 direction. This is done so that the model can keep track 
FRESNO COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS

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 are affected by congestion on the road network. 

VALIDATION/CALIBRATION 

The conformity regulation requires documentation 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.). In addition, documentation of how travel 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 estimates of VMT must be documented. 

Supporting Documentation: 

The model was validated in 2013 by comparing its estimates of 2008 traffic 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 VMT 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 reconcile and calibrate the network-based travel model 

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

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

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

as differences in the facility coverage of the 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 network. The intrazonal trips were multiplied by 

the estimated intrazonal distances to calculate intrazonal VMT. 
FRESNO COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS

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 roadway 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 regionally significant additions or modifications 

to the existing transportation network that are expected 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-regionally significant Federal projects is accounted for 

in the regional emissions analysis. It is assumed 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 regional emissions analysis be documented. In 

addition, the reason for the exemption (Table 2, Table 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 included 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 changes 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 regionally-significant roadway. Model estimates

for use in California conformity analyses. Vehicle registrations, age distribution and fleet mix are 

developed and included in the model by CARB and cannot be updated by the user. EPA issued a 

federal register notice on March 6, 2013 formally approving EMFAC2011 for conformity.

CHAPTER 3: 

AIR QUALITY MODELING 

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

and particulate matter is EMFAC2011. CARB emission 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, model inputs not dependent on the TIP or RTP are 

consistent with the applicable SIP, which include: 

 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 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 included 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 model. 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 inventories 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 motor 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 requires the use of the latest emission estimation 

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

EMFAC model for use by California State and local 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 development 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 EMFAC2011 methodology for the San Joaquin Valley 

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

2014. The methodology explains how VMT should 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 prepared to summarize the transportation model output 

for use in EMFAC 2011. The template includes 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 travel 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 uses these methodologies and estimates constructionrelated PM-10 emissions consistent with the 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 Method 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, after 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 loading by roadway class, average vehicle weight,

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 class 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 receive 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 multiplied by a generic project duration (i.e., 18 

months) and an emission rate. Emission factors 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 roadway 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 vehicle emissions budget for the PM-10 precursor 

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

mechanism will be used only for conformity 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 standard for the pollutant. Therefore, in order 

to be consistent with the standard, PM2.5 nonattainment areas must develop annual emission 
FRESNO COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS 

JUNE 26, 2014 

CONFORMITY ANALYSIS 

33 

inventories for the purpose of developing SIP budgets and demonstrating transportation 

conformity. 

2006 Standard – EPA published 2006 24-hour PM2.5 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 standards 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 Valley is exactly the same as the nonattainment 

area boundary for the 1997 annual standard. 

The following PM2.5 approach addresses both the 1997 standards and the 2006 24-hour standard: 

EMFAC2011 incorporates data for temperature, relative humidity, and characteristics for gasoline 

fuel sold that vary by geographic area, calendar 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 agencies 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 determine 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 analysis 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 data or ability to estimate seasonal variation at 

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

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

freeways does exist. However, traffic patterns 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 daily or seasonal variation. 

The SJV MPOs believe that the average annual day 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.

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

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

the needs and capabilities of air quality modeling tools 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 Joaquin Valley 2008 PM2.5 Plan (as revised in 2011) was 

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

methodology contained in the plan and used to establish 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 emissions 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 construction-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 emissions. The motor vehicle emissions budget 

for PM2.5 includes directly 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 found to be insignificant and not included in the motor vehicle emission 

budgets for conformity purposes. 

2006 Standard – In accordance with Transportation Conformity Rule PM2.5 and PM10 

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

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

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

same time. 

PM2.5 TRADING MECHANISM 

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

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

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

2014.

CHAPTER 4: 

TRANSPORTATION CONTROL MEASURES 

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

in applicable implementation plans. Requirements 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 implementation plan.” The Federal definition for the 

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

“any measure that is specifically identified 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 for the purpose of reducing emissions or 

concentrations of air pollutants from transportation sources by reducing vehicle use 

or changing traffic flow or congestion conditions. Notwithstanding the first sentence 

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

measures which control the emissions from vehicles under fixed traffic conditions are 

not TCMs for the purposes of this subpart.” 

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

implementation plan” is: 

“Applicable implementation plan is defined 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 regulations promulgated under section 301(d) 

and which implements the relevant requirements of the CAA.” 

Section 108(f)(1) of the Clean Air Act as amended 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 construction of such roads or lanes for use by, 

passenger buses or high occupancy vehicles; 

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

(iv) trip-reduction ordinances; 
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 and other facilities, including bicycle lanes, 

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

(xi) programs to control extended idling of vehicles; 

(xii) programs to reduce motor vehicle emissions, consistent 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-automobile travel, provision and utilization of 

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

transportation planning and development efforts of a locality, including programs and 

ordinances applicable to new shopping centers, special events, and other centers of vehicle 

activity; 

(xv) programs for new construction and major reconstructions 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) indicate 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 included in the applicable implementation plan. 

(2) Nothing in the transportation plan interferes 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 and funding source(s) needed to fully implement 

each TCM indicates that TCMs which are eligible for funding under title 23 U.S.C. or the 

Federal Transit Laws are on or ahead of the schedule established in the applicable 

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

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

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

and that all State and local agencies with influence over approvals or funding for TCMs are 

giving maximum priority to approval or funding of TCMs over other projects within their 

control, including projects in locations outside the nonattainment or maintenance area; 

(2) If TCMs in the applicable implementation plan have previously been programmed for 

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

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

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

TCMs, or 

 if there are no other TCMs in the TIP, if the funds are reallocated to projects in the TIP 

other than projects which are eligible for Federal funding intended for air quality 

improvement projects, e.g., the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement 

Program; 

(3) Nothing in the TIP may interfere with the implementation of any TCM in the applicable 

implementation plan.” 

B. APPLICABLE AIR QUALITY IMPLEMENTATION PLANS 

Only transportation control measures from applicable 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 definition 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 assessment was completed for this plan. The 

analysis focused on transportation-related fugitive 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 approved by EPA on November 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 containing 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 were 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 noted 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 Commitments 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 provide 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 (if 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 construction, etc). MPO staff determined this 

information in consultation with the appropriate local jurisdiction. Any projects not implemented 

according to schedule or project changes are explained 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 FHWA in August and September 2004 in response 

to requests for information on timely implementation of TCMs in the San Joaquin Valley. The 

supplemental documentation included the approach, 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 began interagency consultation with FHWA and EPA to address 

outstanding RACM/TCM issues. In general, criteria 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 implementation documentation per EPA. A brief 

summary of the commitment, including finite end dates if applicable, is included for each 

measure. The MPOs provided a status update regarding implementation in consultation with their 

member jurisdictions. If a specific project has been implemented, it is included in the Project 

TID Table under “Additional Projects Identified”. This documentation was included in the 
FRESNO COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS

Conformity Analysis for the 2007 TIP and 2004 RTP (as amended) that was approved by FHWA 

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 measures contained in the applicable air quality 

plans, as documented in the two tables contained in Appendix D, the required TCM conformity 

findings are made below: 

The TIP/RTP provide for the timely completion 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 Executive 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 from other PM-10 nonattainment areas. 

A summary of the process to identify potential long-range control measures analysis and results 

to be evaluated as part of the RTP development was transmitted to the Interagency Consultation 

(IAC) partners for review. FHWA and EPA concurred with the summary of the long-range 

control measure approach in September 2009. 

 

The Local Government Control Measures considered in the PM-10 Plan BACM analysis that 

were considered for inclusion 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 Paved Roads (i.e., funding allocation for the 

purchase of PM-10 efficient street sweepers for member jurisdictions) 

 Repave or Overlay Paved Roads with Rubberized Asphalt 

It is important to note that the first three measures 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 will 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 developed 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 fugitive dust controls include paving, street 

sweeping and stabilization controls. 

b. Nogales, AZ PM-10 Attainment Demonstration, EPA approval notice signed 8/24/12. Onroad fugitive dust controls include paving projects 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 measures; transportation projects “exempt”. 

d. Sacramento, CA PM-10 Implementation / Maintenance 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, adopted 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 additional 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 allocations 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 Paved Roads (i.e., funding allocation for the 

purchase of PM-10 efficient street sweepers for member jurisdictions); and 

(4) Repave or Overlay Paved Roads 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 Category Goals”. PM10 is evaluated and prioritized 
FRESNO COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS 

JUNE 26, 2014 

CONFORMITY ANALYSIS 

43 

in the CMAQ Scoring Criteria under the “Air Pollutant 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 incorporating the use of rubberized asphalt in repave 

or overlay projects. Currently, California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) incorporates 

rubberized asphalt as general policy to meet recycled content requirements on high volume state 

highway facilities. Caltrans is required by AB 338 (Levine) to incrementally 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. Caltrans (District 6) found that rubberized asphalt is 

problematic when used where traffic stops and starts (i.e., signalized local streets). The material 

has been found to break down prematurely and tends 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 viability of low-greenhouse 

gas Portland Cement Concrete which may be preferable 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 traffic 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 transportation 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 are 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 such 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 paragraphs (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 reasonable opportunity for consultation with State air 

agencies, local air quality and transportation agencies, DOT and EPA, including consultation on 

the issues described in paragraph (c)(1) of this section, before making conformity 

determinations.” The Air District adopted Rule 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 requires documentation of the interagency and public 

consultation requirements according to Section 93.105. A summary of the interagency 

consultation and public consultation conducted to comply with these requirements is provided 

below. Appendix E includes the public meeting process documentation. The responses to 

comments received as part of the public comment process are included in Appendix F. 

A. INTERAGENCY CONSULTATION 

Consultation is generally conducted through the San Joaquin Valley Interagency Consultation 

Group (combination of previous Model Coordinating Committee and Programming Coordinating 

Group). The San Joaquin Valley Interagency Consultation (IAC) Group has been established by 

the Valley Transportation Planning Agency's Director's Association to provide a coordinated 

approach to valley transportation planning and programming (Transportation Improvement 

Program, Regional Transportation Plan, and Amendments), transportation conformity, climate 

change, and air quality (State Implementation Plan and Rules). The purpose of the group is to 

ensure Valley wide coordination, communication 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 September 2013 IAC conference call. Discussion topics 

included the draft schedule, procedures and documentation, including analysis years. In August 
FRESNO COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS 

JUNE 26, 2014 

CONFORMITY ANALYSIS 

45 

2013, the Draft Conformity Analysis Years, Latest 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 and FHWA concurrence for the draft boilerplate 

document was provided in January 2014. Minor editorial 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 Understanding (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 agencies, as well as the 15 incorporated cities and the 

County of Fresno. The Fresno Council of Governments worked with these providers through the 

Fresno COG Transportation Technical Committee, the Policy Advisory Committee and the 

Fresno COG Policy Board to develop and approve the FTIP/RTP, and the corresponding 

conformity analysis. In addition to the cities 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 newsletters: 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 determinations 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 public comments must be addressed in writing. 

All MPOs in the San Joaquin Valley have standard public involvement procedures 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 will

JUNE 26, 2014 CONFORMITY ANALYSIS 

CHAPTER 6: 

TIP AND RTP CONFORMITY 

The principal requirements of the transportation 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 transportation 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 present the documentation for all of the requirements 

listed above for conformity determinations except for the conformity test results. Prior chapters 

have also addressed the updated documentation required under the transportation conformity 

regulation for the latest planning assumptions and 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. Separate 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 required 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 California State Implementation Plan for Carbon 

Monoxide. The carbon monoxide budgets were approved by EPA for conformity purposes, 

effective January 30, 2006. The modeling results indicated that the on-road vehicle CO emissions 

predicted for the “Build” scenario for 2017 are less 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 

JUNE 26, 2014 

CONFORMITY ANALYSIS 

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 emissions predicted for the “Build” scenarios are less 

than the emissions budget for 2020. The TIP/RTP therefore satisfy the conformity emissions tests 

for PM-10. 

1997 Standards: For PM2.5, the applicable conformity 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 Transportation Conformity Rule PM2.5 and PM10 

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

Nonattainment areas, if a 2006 PM2.5 area has adequate 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” scenarios 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 Conformity regulation have been satisfied, a finding of 

conformity for the Draft 2015 Federal Transportation Improvement Program and the 2014 

Regional Transportation Plan is supported.

EIR Description: Fresno COG has prepared a Draft Program Environmental Impact

Report (Program EIR), in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act

(CEQA) for the 2014 Regional Transportation Plan and Sustainable Communities

Strategy (2014 RTP/SCS). The 2014 RTP identifies the region’s transportation needs

and issues, sets forth an action plan of projects and programs to address the needs

consistent with the adopted policies, and documents the financial resources needed to

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

identified at a conceptual level for purposes of the RTP, and this Draft Program EIR is

programmatic in nature - meaning it does not specifically analyze individual projects.

The Program EIR finds that implementation of the 2014 RTP/SCS could result in

significant and unavoidable impacts to the following issues areas: Aesthetics; AgriculStory #15266 System FRSCZ by AKASPARIAN Time 16:10:30 Date 3/19/14
