Alternative
Fuel
Survey
Introduction
A
local
alternative
fuel
survey
has
been
conducted
in
2001by
staff
of
AACOG,
which
inventoried
the
AFV
fleet
in
the
SA
MSA.
The
survey
provided
information
on
the
number
of
AFVs,
specific
fuel
type,
the
percentage
of
time
that
they
operate
on
alternative
fuel,
the
number
of
days
per
week
they
typically
operate,
and
an
estimate
on
how
many
vehicle
miles
traveled
(
VMT)
were
accumulated
by
each
vehicle
for
2001.

The
results
indicated
that
there
were
2,050
AFVs
in
the
San
Antonio
region,
and
this
number
is
expected
to
increase
to
2,442
AFVs
by
2006.
The
survey
results
were
used
to
assess
the
effectiveness
of
both
the
current
AFV
fleet,
and
the
2007
AFV
fleet,
at
reducing
ozone
precursor
emissions.
AFVs
reporting
a
0%
usage
rate
of
alternative
fuels
taken
out,
there
were
1,755
vehicles
modeled
for
the
September
2001
fleet,
and
2,147
vehicles
modeled
for
the
September
2007
fleet
that
use
alternative
fuel.

Analysis
of
operation
of
the
2001
AFV
fleet
indicates
that
this
fleet
is
generating
emissions
reductions
of
62
lbs./
day
of
VOC,
45
lbs./
day
of
CO,
and
689
lbs./
day
of
NOx,
and
it
is
projected
that
this
fleet
could
contribute
emissions
reductions
of
72
lbs./
day
of
VOCs,
45
lbs./
day
of
CO,
and
858
lbs./
day
of
NOx
for
the
year
2007.

While
these
estimated
reductions
are
not
overly
sizeable,
they
do
illustrate
that
a
switch
to
alternative
fuel
vehicles
will
result
in
the
reduction
of
ozone
precursors
in
addition
to
reducing
our
nation's
dependence
on
foreign
oil.
As
alternative
fuel
technology
advances,
refueling
infrastructure
expands,
and
the
use
of
alternative
fuels
becomes
more
acceptable,
the
emissions
reductions
resulting
from
the
utilization
of
an
AFV
fleet
in
the
SA
MSA
should
become
more
significant.

The
following
pages
reproduce
the
survey
materials
distributed
in
2001.
The
survey
information
is
followed
by
the
results.

Additional
respondents
to
the
survey
included
the
Schertz­
Cibolo­
Universal
City
Independent
School
District
and
the
City
of
Floresville.
Both
reported
that
they
did
not
currently
operate
any
AFVs.

These
survey
responses
were
analyzed
through
the
use
of
the
AirCRED
model.
Prior
to
the
use
of
the
AirCRED
model,
the
survey
results
were
first
grouped
together
based
on
the
percentage
of
time
the
vehicle
operated
on
alternative
fuels,
and
the
number
of
days
per
week
the
vehicle
typically
operated.
This
was
a
necessary
component
of
the
modeling
process
since
not
all
of
the
vehicles
operated
the
same
percentage
of
time
on
alternative
fuels,
or
the
same
number
of
days
per
week,
and
these
two
fleet
characteristics
are
required
model
inputs.
For
these
reasons,
the
survey
responses
were
categorized
into
nine
groups
as
illustrated
in
the
following

Methodology
The
alternative
fuels
considered
in
this
study
were
liquefied
petroleum
gas
(
LPG),
compressed
natural
gas
(
CNG),
liquefied
natural
gas
(
LNG),
biodiesel,
methanol,
ethanol,
and
electricity.

The
first
step
in
the
analysis
process
was
to
determine
what
alternative
fuel
types
are
being
used
in
the
San
Antonio
region.
A
questionnaire
was
distributed
to
both
public
and
private
entities
seeking
information
on
how
many
AFVs
are
in
operation,
what
types
of
fuel
they
are
using,
and
how
many
vehicle
miles
traveled
(
VMT)
were
accumulated
by
using
each
vehicle
throughout
the
year.
In
addition,
a
separate
telephone
survey
was
conducted
to
gather
information
on
the
percentage
of
time
the
vehicles
were
operating
on
alternative
fuels,
and
the
number
of
days
per
week
these
vehicles
were
in
use.
The
results
were
supplemented
by
information
gathered
from
the
2000
Alternative
Fuel
Survey
and
the
2001
Clean
Cities
Report
for
organizations
that
did
not
respond
to
the
2001
Alternative
Fuel
Survey.
K­
15
The
combined
results
indicated
that
there
are
currently
2,050
AFVs
in
the
San
Antonio
region,
and
this
number
is
expected
to
increase
to
2,442
AFVs
by
2006.
The
AFVs
operating
solely
on
conventional
gasoline
were
not
included
in
the
subsequent
analysis,
bringing
the
total
number
of
vehicles
modeled
in
the
2001
analysis
down
to
1,755
vehicles,
and
the
vehicles
modeled
in
the
2007
analysis
down
to
2,147
vehicles.
In
addition,
the
448
current,
and
528
proposed
propane
vehicles
operated
by
the
Northside
Independent
School
District
were
included
in
the
September
analysis
based
on
the
September
1999
photochemical
modeling
episode.

Once
the
results
of
the
alternative
fuel
survey
were
compiled,
the
estimated
emission
reductions
resulting
from
the
utilization
of
these
vehicles
were
calculated.
Since
there
were
no
reported
uses
of
biodiesel,
methanol,
or
ethanol,
the
AirCRED
model
was
utilized
to
calculate
the
estimated
emission
reductions
for
the
entire
AFV
fleet.
This
model,
developed
by
Argonne
National
Laboratory
to
assist
the
Department
of
Energy's
(
DOE's)
Clean
Cities
coalitions,
estimates
the
ozone
precursor
emissions
reduction
credits
earned
through
the
use
of
alternative
fueled
vehicles.
The
version
of
AirCRED
that
was
used
in
this
study
is
version
3.15,
which
was
updated
on
August
1,
2001.
The
model
is
written
in
VisualBASIC
for
Microsoft
Windows
and
consists
of
a
series
of
screens,
or
forms,
allowing
for
the
input
of
data
in
a
user­
friendly
manner.

The
required
inputs
for
the
AirCRED
model
include
the
Clean
City
to
be
modeled,
the
number
of
AFVs,
the
daily
VMT
by
the
AFVs,
the
weekly
days
of
operation
of
the
AFVs,
and
the
percentage
of
time
the
vehicles
operate
as
an
AFV.
These
inputs
were
obtained
from
the
survey
results.
In
the
absence
of
survey
data
related
to
vehicle
miles
traveled
(
VMT),
default
VMT
taken
from
the
Dallas
Fort
Worth
State
Implementation
Plan
(
SIP)
were
used.
These
VMT
defaults
are
36,000
miles/
year
for
buses,
and
10,000
miles/
year
for
other
vehicles.
(
TCEQ,
2000)
A
weighted
average
was
calculated
for
the
percentage
of
operation
as
an
AFV,
and
a
default
of
five
days
per
week
for
the
days
per
week
of
operation
were
used
in
the
event
that
a
response
did
not
provide
these
values
for
a
particular
organization.
An
example
of
the
weighted
average
calculation
for
light­
duty
CNG
fueled
vehicles
is
provided
below.

The
survey
results
indicated
that
64
of
the
reported
CNG
vehicles
were
operating
100%
of
the
time
on
CNG,
and
15
CNG
vehicles
were
operating
45%
of
the
time
on
CNG.
The
weighted
average
was
calculated
to
be
90%
for
CNG
vehicles
through
the
use
of
the
following
formula
and
subsequent
calculation:

(#
of
AFVs
x
%
of
operation
as
AFV)
+
(#
of
AFVs
x
%
of
operation
as
AFV)
Total
number
of
vehicles
(
64
x
100%)
+
(
15
x
45%)
/
(
64+
15)
=
a
weighted
average
of
89.6
or
90%

Once
the
required
inputs
were
obtained
or
calculated,
the
last
step
in
the
process
prior
to
actually
running
the
model
was
to
allocate
the
survey
results,
or
the
AFVs,
into
groups
based
on
the
percentage
of
time
the
vehicles
operated
on
alternative
fuels,
and
the
number
of
days
per
week
the
vehicles
typically
operated.
This
was
a
necessary
component
of
the
modeling
process
since
not
all
of
the
vehicles
operated
the
same
percentage
of
time
on
alternative
fuels,
or
the
same
number
of
days
per
week,
and
these
K­
16
two
fleet
characteristics
are
required
model
inputs.
For
these
reasons,
the
survey
responses
were
categorized
into
9
groups
shown
in
the
previous
pages.

Having
obtained
the
necessary
inputs
and
broken
the
survey
responses
into
similar
categories,
the
AirCRED
model
was
utilized
to
estimate
the
emission
reductions
resulting
from
the
San
Antonio
MSA
AFV
fleet.
The
resulting
emission
reductions
from
each
of
the
9
groups
were
summed
to
obtain
an
emission
reduction
estimate
for
the
entire
fleet.

For
the
projected
2007
fleet
it
was
assumed
that
the
current
fleet
sizes
were
maintained
at
the
current
level
unless
otherwise
noted.
In
addition,
any
projected
increases
in
fleet
sizes
for
2006,
were
assumed
to
carry
over
into
2007.
There
were
2,147
vehicles
modeled
in
the
Sept.
2007
analysis.
This
represents
a
22
percent
increase
in
the
AFV
fleet
size
from
2001.
The
2007
results
are
very
similar
to
the
2001
results.
In
fact,
the
expected
reduction
in
CO
emissions
is
the
same
for
both
fleets.
This
is
primarily
due
to
the
fact
that
all
of
the
392
additional
AF
vehicles
are
fueled
by
propane.
The
increase
in
the
expected
NOx
reductions
is
a
result
of
the
117
additional
heavy­
duty
propane
vehicles.
Again,
the
projected
2007
AFV
fleet
size
makes
up
only
a
very
small
percentage
of
all
of
the
on­
road
vehicles
within
the
region.
If
the
AFV
fleet
size
were
to
increase
significantly,
sizeable
emission
reductions
should
result.

The
survey
results
were
utilized
in
this
section
to
assess
the
effectiveness
of
both
the
current
AFV
fleet,
and
the
projected
AFV
fleet
for
2007,
at
reducing
ozone
precursor
emissions.
With
the
AFVs
reporting
a
0%
usage
rate
of
alternative
fuels
taken
out,
there
were
1,755
vehicles
modeled
for
the
September
2001
fleet,
and
2,147
vehicles
modeled
for
the
September
2007
fleet
that
use
alternative
fuel.

The
analysis
of
the
SA
MSA
2001
AFV
fleet
indicates
that
operation
of
this
fleet
help
to
reduce
emission
of
VOC
by
a
62
lbs/
day
and
a
689
lbs/
day
reduction
in
NOx
emissions.
The
projected
2007
AFV
fleet
for
the
SA
MSA
indicates
a
72
lbs/
day
reduction
in
VOC
emissions
and
an
858
lbs/
day
reduction
in
NOx
emissions.

While
these
estimated
reductions
are
not
overly
sizeable,
they
do
illustrate
that
a
switch
to
alternative
fuel
vehicles
will
result
in
the
reduction
of
ozone
precursors
in
addition
to
reducing
our
nation's
dependence
on
foreign
oil.
As
alternative
fuel
technology
advances,
refueling
infrastructure
expands,
and
the
use
of
alternative
fuels
becomes
more
acceptable,
the
emissions
reductions
resulting
from
the
utilization
of
an
AFV
fleet
in
the
SA
MSA
should
become
more
significant.

Introduction
TDMs
are
transportation
projects
and
related
activities
that
are
designed
to
achieve
onroad
mobile
source
emission
reductions
and
are
included
as
control
measures
in
the
SIP.
These
measures
target
the
users
(
demand)
of
transportation
facilities
(
supply)
rather
than
the
facilities.

Successful
implementation
of
TDMs
can
contribute
to
the
reduction
in
frequency
of
traffic
congestion,
and
by
smoothing
the
traffic
flow
they
can
particularly
reduce
emission
of
VOCs,
which
occur
at
lower
traveling
speed.

The
following
pages
contain
materials
that
AACOG
staff
has
used
for
conducting
a
local
survey
on
use
of
TDMs,
and
at
the
end
the
overall
impacts
of
TDMs
on
reduction
of
ozone
precursors
are
discussed.

requests
your
assistance
in
our
air
quality
work.
AACOG
is
currently
examining
the
effectiveness
of
reducing
air
pollution
by
allowing
alternate
work
schedules,
and
we'd
like
to
include
information
about
your

in
our
study.

AACOG
will
calculate
the
effectiveness
of
such
initiatives
by
using
information
gathered
from
the
entire
San
Antonio
area.
The
purpose
of
this
survey
is
to
provide
better
information
and
services
to
the
region,
as
well
as
to
help
minimize
additional
regulations
on
the
community.

Your
input
is
vital
to
this
process
and
will
allow
AACOG
to
estimate
the
reduction
of
air
pollution
based
on
recent
changes
in
business
practices
within
office
personnel.
Please
provide
your

Methodologies
The
transportation
demand
management
(
TDMs)
discussed
in
this
summary
are
programs
implemented
within
the
San
Antonio
metropolitan
area
to
reduce
vehicle
miles
traveled
(
VMT)
and
shift
remaining
traffic
to
off­
peak
hours.
The
data
reflect
the
current
TDM
participation
rates
and
future
TDM
commitments
of
companies
in
the
San
Antonio
metropolitan
area
with
employment
population
greater
than
100
and
government
K­
24
agencies.
The
TDMs
used
in
this
plan
are
broken
down
into
several
categories
including:
Rideshare,
Telecommuting,
Flex
Time,
Compressed
Workweek,
and
Staggered
Hours.
All
of
these
programs
are
voluntary
and
are
offered
at
either
the
employer
or
employee
level.

The
first
step
in
conducting
the
study
involved
an
extensive
survey,
which
was
mailed
out
to
361
organizations
in
the
AACOG
region.
120
responses
were
received
and
the
data
from
those
surveys
were
tabulated
for
further
analysis
using
the
Commuter
Model.
The
results
were
then
entered
into
the
Commuter
Model,
which
calculated
the
emission
and
VMT
reductions
based
on
pertinent
data
such
as:
work
trip
length,
vehicle
occupancy,
length
of
peak
period,
etc.
Using
the
output
from
the
Commuter
Model
and
the
anticipated
TDM
participation
rates
for
2007,
the
projected
emission
and
VMT
reductions
were
determined.

There
was
a
significant
difference
in
the
participation
rate
for
the
September
and
July
episodes,
specifically,
in
level
of
participation
in
the
Compressed
Workweek
4/
40
plan.
Because
of
seasonal
participation
by
educational
institutions
(
teachers,
administrators,
maintenance
and
custodial
employees,
bus
drivers,
etc.),
approximately
1200
employees
who
participate
in
the
plan
during
the
academic
year
do
not
participate
during
the
summer
season.
Therefore
based
on
the
July
rate
of
participation
for
the
4/
40
plan,
no
increase
in
participation
for
this
plan
for
the
year
2007
is
projected;
whereas
based
on
the
September
data,
a
4.36%
increase
in
the
Compressed
Workweek
4/
40
plan
is
expected.

The
survey
conducted
on
TDM
participation
showed
that
Staggered
Hours
was
the
most
widely
used
TDM
in
this
region,
followed
by
Compressed
Workweeks,
Flex
Time,
and
Telecommuting.
Overall,
for
the
year
2007
projection,
these
TDMs
are
expected
to
reduce
VOC's
by
3.3%
and
NOX
by
2.4%,
which
are
all
produced
by
on­
road
sources
during
peak
hours.

Voluntary
Air
Quality
Control
Strategies
An
integral
part
of
air
quality
planning
for
the
San
Antonio
EAC
Region
is
the
involvement
of
area
leaders
in
business
and
industry,
local
school
district
officials,
and
other
agencies
in
the
adoption
of
voluntary
measures.
As
part
of
the
Clean
Air
Plan,
AACOG
compiled
a
special
list
of
participating
businesses
and
agencies
within
the
area
that
have
begun
to
adopt
voluntary
measures
which
will
help
clean
the
air.
Responding
companies
and
agencies
categorized
their
actions
as
"
Commitment
Measures"
or
"
Voluntary
Measures"
for
incorporation
into
the
plan.

Commitment
Measures
­
These
commitments
are
provided
to
the
Texas
Commission
on
Environmental
Quality
(
TCEQ)
and
the
US
Environmental
Protection
Agency
(
EPA)
as
part
of
the
Clean
Air
Plan
and
the
State
Implementation
Plan
(
SIP).
The
commitments
are
evidence
of
an
ongoing
commitment
by
local
leaders
in
support
of
clean
air
policy.

Voluntary
Measures
­
These
commitments
will
be
done
on
a
voluntary
basis
to
minimize
emissions
to
the
best
of
a
company's
ability.

It
is
important
to
understand
that
the
following
commitments
were
obtained
from
the
agencies,
and
authorized
by
signature.
The
authorization
consent
form
signed
contains
the
following
specific
language,
followed
by
the
signature
block:
Authorization
­
I
authorize
the
Air
Improvement
Resources
Committee
to
include
our
actions
and
commitments,
as
described
and
classified
above
(
referring
to
the
"
Commitment"
and
"
Voluntary"
definitions
above),
in
the
Clean
Air
Plan
that
will
be
submitted
to
EPA
and
TCEQ.
I
understand
that
copies
of
our
letters
describing
our
commitment
may
be
included
in
the
Clean
Air
Plan.

A
copy
of
one
of
the
signed
commitment
letters
(
from
the
San
Antonio
Water
System)
is
attached
to
the
end
of
this
appendix
as
an
example
of
this
process
and
the
form
mailed
out
to
each
agency.

The
following
pages
contain
strategy
descriptions
of
companies,
agencies,
and
school
districts
that
have
volunteered
to
practice
these
air­
cleaning
strategies.

Introduction
Transportation
Emission
Reduction
Measures
(
TERMs)
are
strategies
or
actions
that
can
be
employed
to
offset
increases
in
nitrogen
oxide
(
NOx)
and
volatile
organic
compound
emissions
from
mobile
sources.
All
TERMs
are
intended
to
reduce
either
the
number
of
vehicle
trips,
vehicle
miles
traveled,
or
both.
These
strategies
may
include
ridesharing
and
telecommuting
programs,
clean
fuel
vehicle
programs,
which
were
all
described
in
previous
sections,
and
improved
transit/
bicycling
facilities,
or
other
possible
actions
such
as
intersection
improvement
and
signalization.

Many
of
the
transit
and
highway
projects
included
in
the
MPO's
Transportation
Improvement
Programs
(
TIP)
provided
in
the
following
pages
qualify
as
a
TERM
project,
as
they
target
vehicle
trip
reduction
and,
ultimately,
improvement
in
the
air
quality.

It
is
important
to
note
that
TERMS
can
be
quantified
as
creditable
reductions.
While
the
quantity
of
reductions
have
not
been
calculated
and
included
in
the
attainment
demonstration
of
the
San
Antonio
proposed
revisions
to
the
State
Implementation
Plan,
local
air
quality
planners
are
now
researching
measures
to
make
the
TERMS
enforceable.
The
region
is
intent
on
making
them
enforceable
and
calculating
credit
for
them
in
coordination
with
the
state
and
the
local
San
Antonio
/
Bexar
County
Metropolitan
Planning
Organization.
Even
if
credit
is
not
taken
here
for
the
TERMS
projects
in
the
region,
the
benefits
of
the
reductions
accrue
as
Additional
Evidence
that
the
San
Antonio
region
will
reach
attainment.

shown
in
the

TIP
in
this
appendix,
certain
traffic
signals
for
various
intersections
in
the
Bexar
County
have
been
separately
evaluated
for
their
impacts
on
the
air
quality
and
included
in
the
Chapter
8
of
the
2003
UPWP
report.
The
results
of
this
analysis
would
provide
additional
evidence
indicating
future

ozone
levels
for
the
San
Antonio
area.
The
following
pages
present
this
evaluation.

Introduction
Traffic
flow
improvements
have
been
used
for
air
quality
planning
due
to
their
ability
to
reduce
traffic
congestion,
reducing
congestion­
related
emissions,
and
are
also
a
costeffective
method
of
reducing
congestion
and
emissions.

Arterial
management
systems
manage
traffic
by
employing
various
detection
and
control
devices
along
arterial
roadways.

Traffic
signalization
is
one
of
the
most
common
traffic
management
techniques
utilized
in
the
United
States.
Signal
control
systems
are
methods
of
arterial
roadway
management
is
practiced
because
such
control
systems
improve
traffic
flow
as
well
as
simplify
system
maintenance.
2
Some
improvements
can
include:
Updating
traffic
signal
hardware
to
utilize
more
modern
technology,
allowing
for
more
sophisticated
traffic
flow
strategies
to
be
planned;
Timing
traffic
signals
to
correspond
with
current
traffic
flows,
reducing
unnecessary
delays;
Coordinating
and
interconnecting
signals
to
better
interface
pre­
timed
and
traffic
actuated
signals,
actively
managed
timing
plans,
and
master
controllers
to
minimize
the
number
and
frequency
of
stops
necessary
at
intersections;
and
Removing
signals
at
intersections
no
longer
requiring
signalized
stop
control
to
reduce
vehicle
delays
and
unwarranted
stops
on
the
major
street.
1
The
use
of
flexible
traffic
signal
systems
has
been
used
since
the
early
1960'
s
when
computerized
systems
began
to
come
into
existence.
Signalization
projects
can
reduce
carbon
monoxide
(
CO)
and
hydrocarbon
(
HC)
by
reducing
the
number
of
vehicular
stops
and
idling,
which
would
reduce
travel
times
and
traffic
delays.
Reductions
in
fuel
consumption
have
also
been
observed
through
traffic
signal
re­
timing.
Traffic
flow
at
intersections
can
be
improved
in
interconnection
and
coordination
of
signals.

Resignalization
in
Bexar
County
The
prospect
of
traffic
signal
retiming
has
been
evaluated
for
various
intersections
in
Bexar
County
in
order
to
efficiently
deal
with
the
existing
levels
of
traffic
volumes.
A
program
was
recently
conducted
for
Bexar
County,
as
it
is
recommended
that
traffic
signal
timing
patterns
be
checked
and
updated
every
5
to
7
years.
Such
programs
focus
on
three
factors:
1)
public
benefit
from
improved
traffic
operation,
2)
the
inherent
costeffectiveness
of
operations
improvements,
and
3)
establishing
a
baseline
for
measuring
effectiveness
in
future
re­
timing
projects.

Evaluation
The
evaluation
of
the
selected
traffic
signal
systems
involved
several
steps.
Traffic
light
systems
in
the
San
Antonio
area
were
evaluated
bv
Pape­
Dawson
Engineers,
Inc.
The
evaluation
involved
collection
of
data,
design
improvements,
optimal
timing
plan
development
and
implementation,
and
simulation
of
before
and
after
conditions.
Several
models
were
used
in
the
evaluation
and
assessment
of
the
traffic
signal
systems.
These
models
included
TRANSYT­
7F,
Synchro
3.2,
and
PASSER
II.

Information
on
arterial
data,
"
before"
signal
timing
data,
saturation
flow
rates,
and
speed/
travel
time
data
were
gathered
through
various
sources.
Traffic
volumes,
which
are
the
numbers
of
vehicles
that
pass
a
specific
point
during
a
given
period
of
time,
were
collected
at
the
intersections.
3
Lane
configuration,
link
speed
data,
and
link
distance
information
were
provided
by
the
City
of
San
Antonio.
The
data
gathered
for
model
input
was
first
run
through
Synchro
3.2
to
produce
a
simulation
file.
The
file
was
calibrated
to
reflect
specific
"
before"
conditions
and
then
converted
to
a
TRANSYT­
7F
file.
The
TRANSYT­
7F
analyzed
the
traffic
system
and
produced
a
"
before"
traffic
flow
simulation.

The
simulation
data
originally
provided
by
Synchro
3.2
was
then
modified
to
reflect
optimal
time
cycles
for
improved
efficiency.
PASSER
II
analyzed
alternative
phasing
arrangements
and
cycle
lengths.
The
cycle
lengths
that
generated
the
least
amount
of
delay
were
deemed
most
efficient
and
thus
recommended.
The
following
sections
describe
the
arterial
intersections
that
were
analyzed
and
the
recommended
timing
plans.

Wetmore
System
The
Wetmore
System
is
located
on
Wetmore
Road,
which
is
classified
as
a
primary

In
evaluating
this
system,
three
timing
plans
were
developed
for
the
A.
M
Peak,
Midday/
Off
Peak,
and
P.
M.
Peak
periods.
Four
intersections
were
analyzed
on
the
Wetmore
System
and
their
operation
is

The
Jones­
Maltsberger
System
was
evaluated
as
described
in
Traffic
Signal
Evaluation.
Analysis
of
the
evaluation
provided
cycles
that
would
improve
efficiency
in
a
number
of
areas.
These
areas
include
bandwidth
efficiency,
vehicle
delay,
and
fuel
consumption.

The
best
cycle
for
the
A.
M.
peak
period
was
one
that
consisted
of
90
seconds
since
it
had
the
best
bandwidth
efficiency
and
low
delay.
A
cycle
of
120
seconds
was
optimal
for
off
peak.
A
good
candidate
for
the
P.

peak
period
would
be
a
cycle
of
115
seconds
since
it
had
good
bandwidth
efficiency,
low
fuel
consumption,
and
low
delay
values.

The
Nacogdoches/
Perrin
Beitel
System
was
evaluated
as
described
in
Traffic
Signal
Evaluation.
Analysis
of
the
evaluation
provided
cycles
that
would
improve
efficiency
in
a
number
of
areas.
These
areas
include
bandwidth
efficiency,
vehicle
delay,
and
fuel
consumption.

The
90
second
cycle
for
the
AM
peak
hour
was
selected
since
it
provided
the
one
of
the
best
bandwidth
efficiencies,
large
bands
for
northbound
and
southbound
traffic,
and
lowest
combination
of
delay
values.
Off
peak
period
was
recommended
the
90
second
cycle.
It
presented
the
lowest
delay
and
low
fuel
consumption.
The
130
second
cycle
length
for
PM
peak
hour
had
high
bandwidth
efficiency,
low
delay,
and
low
fuel
consumption.

In
summary,
the
traffic
signal
systems
included
in
this
study
were
recommended
to
have
cycle
lengths
reduced
while
maintaining
efficient
bandwidth,
reduced
vehicle
delays,
and
reduced
fuel
consumption.

On­

Emission
Reduction
According
to
the
1999
AACOG
Emission
Inventory,
on­
road
sources
provides
a
substantial
amount
of
VOC
and
NOx
emissions
to
Bexar
County.
The
2007
projection
of
the
September
photochemical
modeling
episode
accounts
for
the
updated
MOBILE6
on
road
emissions
and
it
is
against
these
emissions
that
the
proposed
traffic
signal
timing
cycle
improvements
were
performance
evaluated.
Average
weekday
(
Monday­
Friday)
emissions
for
on­
road
sources
in
Bexar
County
are
61
tons/
day
of
NOx
and
49
tons/
day
of
VOC11.

correct
delay
values
and
provided
confusing
details.
The
purpose
of
this
report
was
to
evaluate
the
proposed
signal
timing
improvements
for
the
areas
under
study
as
well
as
their
potential
emission
reduction.
It
was
concluded
after
much
analysis
that
analyzing
the
increase
or
decrease
of
total
delay
time
the
vehicles
experienced
during
the
before
and
after
traffic
flow
simulations
would
be
the
more
suitable
approach.
The
difference
of
the
total
delay
times
was
multiplied
by
an
emission
factor
for
idling
vehicles.

The
idling
emission
factor
was
utilized
since
vehicles
idle
while
being
delayed
at
traffic
light
stops.
MOBILE6
provided
the
emission
factor
for
a
vehicle
speed
of
2.5
miles
per
hour.
A
speed
of
2.5
miles
per
hour
was
used
because
it
was
the
slowest
speed
that
mobile6
model
can
calculate
emissions.
All
the
other
factors
for
the
mobile6
model
(
temperature,
RVP
and
Sulfur
levels,
VMT
Mix,
etc.)
used
local
data
input13.
For
the
Mobile
idling
emissions,
VOC
was
7.03
grams/
mile
and
NOx
was
2.17
grams/
mile.
Once
the
idling
emissions
factor
was
estimated,
the
result
was
applied
to
each
intersection.
The
equation
for
calculating
emissions
reductions
per
hour
is:

(
Total
Delay
Time
Before
per
hour
 
Total
Delay
Time
After
per
hour)
x
Mobile6
Idling
Emission
Factor
=
Emission
Reductions
per
hour
The
delay
times
were
evaluated
for
3
time
periods:
AM
Peak,
PM
Peak,
and
Off
Peak.
The
AM
peak,
PM
peak,
and
Off
Peak
hours
varied
for
each
traffic
signal
system.
For
example,
AM
peak
periods
varied
between
1.25
hours
and
3.75
hours.
These
time
frames
are
listed
in
Table
K­
8­
9
for
each
intersection
involved
in
the
study.
The
emissions
(
grams/
hr)
were
multiplied
by
the
number
of
hours
in
the
respective
time
period
to
result
in
the
total
emission
reduction
per
time
period.
The
total
emissions
in
grams/
day
were
then
converted
to
pounds/
day.

The
overall
reduction
of
emissions
over
the
selected
time
frame
is
illustrated
in
Figure
K­
8­
15.
There
was
a
higher
incidence
of
reduction
in
VOC
emissions
than
in
NOx
emissions,
however,
for
both
precursors
the
highest
reduction
was
noted
in
the
PM
peak
hours
followed
by
the
AM
peak
hours.
The
figure
graphically
depicts
the
first
modeling
day
for
an
example
of
the
time
curve.
The
graph
shows
that
the
PM
peak
emissions
reductions
were
significant,
while
morning
peak
hour
reductions
were
not
as
high
as
expected.
The
same
trend
was
noted
during
all
the
days
analyzed
in
the
photochemical
model.

Conclusion
Several
steps
were
utilized
to
analyze
selected
traffic
signal
systems
to
estimate
the
emission
reduction
due
to
the
improved
timing
cycles.
Preliminary
evaluation
of
the
traffic
signal
systems
Pape­
Dawson
Engineers,
Inc
involved
data
collection,
design
improvements,
optimal
timing
plan
development
and
implementation,
and
simulation
of
before
and
after
conditions.
Several
models,
the
TRANSYT­
7F,
Synchro
3.2,
and
PASSER
II,
were
used
in
the
evaluation
and
assessment
of
the
traffic
signal
systems.
These
models
provided
simulation
files,
"
before"
traffic
flow
simulations,
and
optimal
timing
cycles
for
the
traffic
signal
systems.

Analysis
of
the
recommended
timing
cycles
for
the
various
traffic
signal
systems
indicated
a
reduction
of
ozone
precursors
if
the
cycles
were
implemented.
The
highest
reduction
was
noted
in
the
PM
peak
hours,
followed
by
the
AM
peak
hours,
and
then
off
peak
had
a
consistent
yet
small
reduction
in
VOC
and
NOx
emissions.
The
amount
of
the
emission
reduction
was
not
a
substantial
amount
to
cause
a
notable
and
significant
reduction
in
ozone
levels.
This
could
be
due
to
the
fact
that
approximately
seven
intersections
were
involved
in
the
study
rather
than
several
dozen
to
several
hundred.
If
more
systems
had
been
involved
with
the
study
then
it
is
possible
that
a
great
amount
of
reduced
emissions
could
equivocate
to
a
greater
reduction
in
ozone
levels.

On
December
13,
2002,
the
TCEQ
revised
the
Houston­
Galveston
(
HGA)
SIP
to
include
a
protocol
for
implementing
and
calculating
reductions
from
energy
savings
resulting
from
state
Senate
Bill
5
and
Senate
Bill
7
measures.
This
revision
was
followed
by
a
revision
to
the
Dallas­
Fort
Worth
(
DFW)
SIP
on
March
5,
2003,
which
included
an
estimate
of
NOx
reductions
associated
with
SB5
and
SB7.
(
Source:
EEIRE)

Since
that
time,
efforts
have
been
underway
both
to
implement
the
energy
reductions
required
by
the
state
and
to
quantify
the
associated
ozone
precursor
reductions.
Air
quality
planners
in
the
San
Antonio
region
currently
benefit
from
a
partnership
created
by
the
TCEQ
between
AACOG,
the
Energy
Systems
Laboratory
(
ESL)
of
Texas
A&
M
University,
the
local
Metropolitan
Partnership
for
Energy,
and
the
Brooks
Energy
Sustainability
Laboratory
(
BESL)
of
the
Texas
Engineering
Experiment
Station.

ESL
is
charged
by
the
state
to
assist
local
entities
subject
to
Energy
Efficiency
mandates
with
these
reduction
quantification
estimates.
Under
a
recently­
signed
Memorandum
of
Agreement,
BESL
is
to
assist
the
ESL
with
technical
assistance
as
part
of
its
duties
under
Senate
Bill
5
by
producing
an
inventory
of
energy
use
and
savings
from
existing
and
planned
(
through
2007)
energy
efficiency
and
renewable
energy
(
EE/
RE)
projects.
The
Metropolitan
Partnership
for
Energy
(
MPE)
is
assisting
these
other
entities
in
the
identification
and
inventory
of
existing
and
planned
EE/
RE
using
its
reasonable
best
efforts.

The
TCEQ
guidance,
"
Incorporating
Energy
Efficiency
and
Renewable
Energy
(
EEIRE)
Projects
in
the
SIP"
is
being
used
to
provide
specific
guidance
to
BESL
on
content
and
reporting
requirements,
including
requirements
for
a
spreadsheet
to
facilitate
conversion
into
creditable
NOx
reductions
by
the
ESL.

The
inventory
is
due
to
contain
EE/
RE
project
data
from
local,
State,
Federal
and
major
private
sector
companies
such
as
USAA
and
Toyota.

Types
of
projects
will
include,
but
not
be
limited
to:
1.
State­
mandated
IECC
building
codes
and
above
code
construction
as
well
as
special
rating
programs
such
as
Build
San
Antonio
Green
and
LEED
ratings;
2.
Local
distributed
energy
projects
including
PV,
solar­
thennal,
and
fuel
cells;
renewable
energy
projects
from
remote
locations
planned;
3.
Local
government
energy
improvement
projects
including
water
and
wastewater,
street
lighting
and
traffic
signals;
4.
Major
energy
conservation
retrofits
for
existing
facilities
including
Continuous
Commissioning
®
,
major
equipment
and
control
upgrades,
and
cool
roofs,
etc.

Deliverables
will
include:
a)
Development
of
inventory
of
creditable
local
area
SIP
EE/
RE
projects.
b)
Final
report
in
spread
sheet
format
of
existing
and
planned
energy
efficiency
projects
by
category,
level
of
energy
savings
or
clean
energy
from
renewable
energy
projects.

Although
credit
is
not
taken
here
for
the
Energy
Efficiency
/
Renewable
Energy
Projects
in
the
region,
the
benefits
of
the
reductions
accrue
as
Additional
Evidence
that
the
San
Antonio
region
will
reach
attainment.
With
the
completion
of
the
work
accomplished
K­
86
through
this
partnership,
the
San
Antonio
regional
air
quality
planners
will
include
the
SIP
credit
available.

According
to
the
very
first
draft
efforts
of
the
BESL/
ESL/
TCEQ/
MPE/
AACOG
team,
Energy
Efficiency
measures
under
Senate
Bill
5
give
the
following
reductions
in
energy
production,
in
megawatt­
hours
per
year
(
MWH/
year):

For
Bexar
County,
the
electricity
savings
are
18.179
MWH/
year.

For
Guadalupe
County,
the
electricity
savings
are
1.217
MWH/
year.

With
further
research,
these
energy
reductions
will
be
quantified
and
precursor

PUBLIC
EDUCATION
Introduction
The
following
pages
describe
the
public
outreach
and
education
projects
undertaken
by
AACOG
staff
for
the
purpose
of
disseminating
information
on
air
quality
and
informing
the
public
of
seriousness
of
air
pollution
problem
in
the
San
Antonio
area.
The
main
goal
is
to
familiarize
the
public
with
actions
they
can
take
to
improve
the
air
quality.

Public
Education
to
Encourage
Voluntary
Pollution
Reduction
Measures
The
Air
Improvement
Resources
Committee
(
AIR
Co)
has
always
recognized
and
will
continue
to
recognize
that
public
education
is
crucial
to
achieving
long­
term
air
quality
improvement.
Shortly
after
its
formation,
AIR
Co
created
a
Public
Education
subcommittee,
comprised
of
public
outreach
specialists
from
local
governments,
utilities,
and
non­
profits
and
chaired
by
AACOG
staff,
to
oversee
public
outreach
and
education
efforts.

The
main
goals
of
the
Public
Education
committee
are
two
fold;
1)
to
educate
the
public
on
the
health
risks
posed
by
ozone
pollution
and
how
they
can
protect
themselves,
and
2)
to
encourage
the
public
to
take
voluntary
action
to
reduce
ozone
pollution.
The
primary
method
of
basic
ozone
pollution
and
health
education
is
the
Air
Quality
Health
Alert
(
AQHA)
notification
system
and
associated
publicity
and
outreach
efforts.
The
main
voluntary
pollution
reduction
measures
advocated
through
publicity,
paid
media
and
presentations
are:
Maintain
your
vehicle.
(
basic
car
care)
Drive
less.
(
Commute
Solutions,
combining
errands,
walking
and
bicycling)
Don't
idle.
(
Adopt­
A­
School
Bus
No­
Idle
Program)
Re­
fuel
in
the
evening.
Don't
"
top
off".
To
achieve
its
goals,
the
Public
Education
committee
makes
full
use
of
advertising
funds
made
available
through
grants
from
the
Texas
Commission
on
Environmental
Quality,
the
Texas
Department
of
Transportation,
and,
when
available,
the
Environmental
Protection
Agency.
In
addition,
AACOG
staff
makes
significant
efforts
to
obtain
free
publicity
for
air
quality
issues.
Public
education
and
outreach
efforts,
including
paid
advertising,
publicity
and
other
voluntary
measures
campaigns
are
summarized
in
the
following
paragraphs.

Air
Quality
Health
Alert
Notification
System
AACOG
provides
and
will
continue
to
provide
free
AQHA
notification
for
citizens,
organizations,
and
companies
within
the
region.
The
AQHA
system
informs
citizens
of
TCEQ's
forecast
of
high
ozone
pollution
levels
on
a
given
day
through
emails
and
faxes
distributed
the
afternoon
prior
to
that
day.
The
faxes
not
only
advise
recipients
of
the
high
ozone
pollution
forecast
and
advocate
health
protection,
but
also
suggest
voluntary
measures
that
citizens
can
make
year­
round
to
help
reduce
ozone
pollution.
AACOG
actively
promotes
this
free
service
and
has
more
than
doubled
the
number
of
recipients
in
the
last
two
years.
As
of
March
2004,
the
number
of
registered
recipients
of
AQHA
notifications
was
approximately
1,000,
many
of
whom
spread
the
email
to
their
entire
organization,
increasing
the
number
of
recipients
to
several
thousand.

AQHA
notifications
are
also
provided
to
major
media
outlets
and
AACOG
maintains
relationships
with
those
outlets
to
ensure
that
Alerts
are
broadcast
with
local
news
and
K­
88
weather.
In
the
near
future,
AACOG
hopes
to
increase
pressure
on
local
media
outlets
to
provide
a
daily
Air
Quality
Index
(
AQI)
report
in
addition
to
AQHAs.
Past
efforts
have
already
resulted
in
daily
AQI
reports
from
two
outlets,
News
9
San
Antonio
(
cable
television
news)
and
the
San
Antonio
Express­
News
(
primary
metropolitan
newspaper).
As
a
part
of
actively
promoting
the
AQHA
notification
system,
AACOG
staff
routinely
presents
air
quality
and
health
issues
to
local
community
groups,
businesses
and
students
of
all
ages.
Information
on
regional
clean
air
policy
and
voluntary
pollution
reduction
measures
is
and
will
continue
to
be
included
as
a
part
of
these
presentations.

Paid
Advertising
Paid
advertising
campaigns
are
broadcast
on
various
local
radio
and
television
stations,
in
local
newspapers,
on
highway
billboards,
and
on
Internet
"
hub"
websites.
Messages
used
promote
clean
air
actions
such
as
vehicle
maintenance,
fueling
in
the
evening,
and
driving
less
by
carpooling,
combining
errands,
or
using
mass
transit.
A
summary
of
paid
media
campaigns
for
2001,
2002,
and
2003
is
available
upon
request
as
an
example
of
standard
advertising
campaigns
undertaken
by
this
program.
In
general,
the
program
advertises
using
radio
"
traffic"
advertisements
because
they
reach
individuals
where
they
are
most
susceptible
to
messages
about
alternate
commuting,
vehicle
maintenance,
and
cleaner
air:
while
they
sit
in
their
vehicles
in
traffic.
The
program
also
uses
limited
television
advertising
to
convey
both
air
quality
and
Commute
Solutions
promotion
messages
and,
additionally,
uses
newspaper
to
advertise
special
events,
such
as
the
annual
Ozone
Season
Kickoff
event,
which
is
described
in
later
sections.
The
paid
advertising
budget
is
provided
through
the
Alamo
Area
Commute
Solutions
grant
funds
from
the
Texas
Department
of
Transportation.
Advertising
Commute
Solutions
transportation
alternatives
and
their
relation
to
improved
air
quality
has
been
a
major
task
in
the
Commute
Solutions
grant
work
plan
for
over
five
years
and
will
continue
to
be
as
long
as
AACOG
is
the
recipient
of
those
grant
funds.
Publicity
AACOG
staff
regularly
issue
news
briefs,
news
releases,
and
Air
Quality
Health
Alerts
to
local
media
in
order
to
obtain
coverage
of
air
quality
issues
and
events.
Media
coverage
for
2001­
2003,
provided
to
show
the
continually
increasing

At
each
of
these
outreach
events
or
presentations,
staff
disseminates
informational
and
promotional
items
to
remind
the
public
of
ozone
pollution's
health
effects
and
encourage
individual
voluntary
pollution
reduction
measures.
Materials
are
produced
by
AACOG
through
the
Commute
Solutions
budget
and
are
also
donated
to
AACOG
by
various
state
and
federal
agencies,
including
the
Texas
Department
of
Transportation,
the
Texas
Commission
on
Environmental
Quality
and
the
Environmental
Protection
agency.
An
example
of
this
materials
dissemination
lies
in
the
first
eight
weeks
of
2004,
in
which
staff
has
distributed
over
4,000
items
and
reached
over
1,600
individuals.

Website
In
addition
to
external
outreach
efforts,
AACOG
staff
maintains
an
air
quality
website,
www.
aacog.
com/
air,
that
provides
extensive
information
on
ozone
pollution,
its
causes,
its
health
effects,
and
voluntary
measures
citizens
can
take
to
help
reduce
the
pollution
problem.
The
website
is
constantly
updated
and
expanded,
providing
weekly
air
quality
facts
and
the
latest
news
on
air
pollution
and
policy
issues.
Beyond
just
providing
information,
the
website
allows
users
to
make
requests
of
staff,
including
online
registration
for
the
AQHA
program,
informational
and
promotional
materials
requests
and
requests
for
air
quality
presentations
for
students
or
organizations.

Alamo
Area
Commute
Solutions
Program
The
Alamo
Area
Commute
Solutions
Program,
funded
by
the
Texas
Department
of
Transportation,
seeks
to
reduce
traffic
and
air
pollution
by
promoting
commute
alternatives,
including:
RideShare
(
carpooling
and
vanpooling)
Alternate
Schedule
(
compressed
work
week
and
flex
scheduling)
Mass
Transit
Telework
Bicycling
and
Walking
The
Commute
Solutions
Program
has
experienced
great
success
in
the
past
by
targeting
not
only
individual
commuters
with
radio
and
television
outreach,
but
by
approaching
businesses
to
institute
Commute
Solutions
programs
as
benefits
for
their
employees.
Over
4,000
individuals
currently
participate
in
the
Commute
Solutions
program.
Commute
Solutions
will
continue
to
increase
success
by
further
targeting
outreach
to
companies
through
the
Best
Workplaces
for
Commuters
program.
As
this
program
allows
employers
to
receive
substantial
tax
savings
and
improved
public
image
by
meeting
a
national
standard
of
excellence
in
commuter
benefits,
it
is
a
much
improved
tool
for
encouraging
and
actually
achieving
a
reduction
in
single
occupancy
vehicle
travel
and,
hence,
air
pollution.

In
addition,
Commute
Solutions
promotes
and
assists
with
the
implementation
of
two
commute
assistance
programs
for
schools,
SchoolPool
and
Walking
School
Bus.
By
K­
90
reaching
out
to
parents
and
schools
through
Parent
Teacher
Association
meetings,
mailings,
and
contact
with
administrators,
Commute
Solutions
staff
establishes
and
maintains
School
Pool
and
Walking
School
Bus
programs
that
allow
parents
to
share
the
responsibilities
of
driving
or
chaperoning
a
group
of
walking
children
on
the
way
to
and
from
school.
This
reduces
the
number
of
cars
idling
in
the
school's
student
pick­
up/
dropoff
zone,
which
directly
reduces
pollution
and
also
improves
safety
by
reducing
potential
student­
vehicle
interaction
in
the
parking
lot.

All
Commute
Solutions
services
are
available
through
the
Commute
Solutions
website,
www.
aacog.
com/
commutesolutions,
which
is
constantly
updated
and
expanded.
This
website
will
be
maintained
throughout
the
coming
years
and
will
be
used
to
provide
ever
quicker,
more
responsive,
more
accurate
services
to
the
region's
commuters.

Adopt­
A­
School
Bus
Idling
Reduction
Program
Through
the
Adopt­
A­
School
Bus
grant,
AACOG
is
embarking
upon
a
new
air
quality
outreach
campaign
focused
on
idling
reduction.
The
No
Idle
program
will
educate
students,
parents,
teachers
and
administrators
on
the
air
quality
improvements
possible
through
reduced
idling,
both
by
buses
and
passenger
vehicles,
during
student
drop­
off
and
pick­
up.
The
program
will
encourage
drivers
to
"
Clean
it
up.
Turn
it
off.
Keep
it
Green."
by
turning
off
their
passenger
vehicle
engines
when
the
vehicle
will
remain
idle
for
more
than
ten
seconds.
Similar
idling
limits
will
be
sought
of
bus
drivers.

The
main
methods
for
this
outreach
will
be
personal
contact
and
presentations
to
students,
parents,
school
staff,
and
bus
drivers.
Students
will
participate
as
a
"
Green
Patrol",
tracking
and
rewarding
drivers
who
are
not
idling.
Parents
and
bus
drivers
will
take
the
"
No
Idle
Pledge."
Schools
will
become
certified
"
No
Idle
Zones."

Though
schools
will
be
the
first
focus
of
this
program,
once
success
is
achieved
at
the
schools,
the
program
will
be
expanded
to
encourage
reduced
idling
while
waiting
in
parking
lots
and
drive­
through
lanes.

A
projected
replacement
of
275
school
buses
for
the
San
Antonio
area
over
the
course
of
three
school
fiscal
years
could
realize
a
reduction
of
approximately
110
tons/
year
of
NOx
and
11
tons/
year
of
PM.
There
would
be
an
added
benefit
of
a
substantial
reduction
in
the
emissions
of
air
toxins
as
well.
There
could
be
a
combination
of
replacement
and
retrofitting
of
buses
to
achieve
NOx
and
PM
reductions,
depending
on
technology
available
and
the
availability
of
low­
sulfur
fuel.

LAWNMOWER
RECYCLING
PROGRAM
Introduction
Lawnmowers,
rotary
tillers,
lawn
and
garden
tractors,
leaf
blower/
vacuums,
and
chainsaws
are
examples
of
this
residential
equipment
category.
When
aggregated,
residential
equipment
represents
a
major
source
of
emissions
that
contribute
to
the
pollution
of
air.
There
are
ongoing
efforts,
with
a
degree
of
success,
in
the
San
Antonio
area
to
mitigate
pollution
generated
by
residential
lawn
and
garden
equipment.
In
the
following
pages
these
efforts
and
attributed
emissions
benefits
are
discussed.

Calculating
Emission
Factors
An
essential
part
of
calculating
residential
equipment
emissions
is
the
use
of
an
accurate
emission
factor
(
EF)
for
each
pollutant.
In
the
process
of
1999
emission
inventory,
AACOG
staff
developed
techniques
for
calculating
residential
equipment
EFs,
which
have
been
documented
in
a
report
entitled
"
1999
Emissions
Inventory
for
the
Alamo
Area
Council
of
Governments
Region,
August
2001."
These
EFs
will
be
used
here
to
calculate
the
amount
of
emission
reduction
due
to
the
CPS's
"
Mow
Down
Smog"
lawnmower
recycling
initiative.
The
followings,
taken
from
the
above
mentioned
report,
will
describe
this
calculation
procedure
in
more
detail.

"
In
an
effort
to
find
more
recent
and
specific
equipment
type
EFs,
EPA's
recently
updated
(
April
2000)
Nonroad
Emission
Inventory
Model
was
used.

The
EFs
for
residential
equipment
were
developed
using
the
following
process:

A
1999
Nonroad
Model
run
for
residential
equipment
was
done
for
Texas.
The
output
from
this
run
was
used
to
obtain
the
following
for
all
types
of
residential
equipment:
HC,
CO

entails
estimation
of
length

By
applying
the

TRUCKSTOP
ANTI­
IDLING
PROGRAM
IdleAire
provides
individual
electrical
service
for
53
parking
spaces
at
the
TransAmerica
Truck
Stop
the
intersection
of
Foster
Road
and
IH­
10
East.
This
has
traditionally
been
referred
to
as
"
truck
stop
electrification
(
TSE)."
On
top
of
TSE,
IdleAire
provides
other
layers
of
services
that
comprise
Advanced
Travel
Center
Electrification
(
ATE),
a
flexible
package
that
can
be
altered
and
customized
to
industry
needs.
Currently,
a
heating,
cooling
and
ventilation
unit
sits
above
each
parking
space.
The
unit
is
connected
to
the
Service
Delivery
Module
by
means
of
a
flexible,
reinforced,
concentric
hose,
which
also
houses
the
delivery
mechanisms
for
the
communications
and
entertainment
packages.
All
TSE
and
ATE
services,
including
temperature,
fan
speed
and
all
other
service
selections,
are
delivered
to
and
independently
controlled
by
each
individual
driver
in
the
truck
cab
via
the
Service
Delivery
Module.

The
IdleAire
system
removes
100%
of
emissions
associated
with
extended
diesel
idling,
including
nitrogen
oxides
(
NOx),
particulate
matter
(
PM),
volatile
organic
compounds
(
VOC),
carbon
monoxide
(
CO)
and
carbon
dioxide
(
CO2).
The
system
has
a
net
reduction
of
98%
of
criteria
pollutants
under
the
Clean
Air
Act
after
accounting
for
the
electricity
from
the
grid
used
to
power
the
system,
and
an
overall
83%
net
emissions
reduction.

Per
each
parking
spaces
each
year
(
assuming
60%
utilization),
those
diesel
emissions
amount
to
an
estimated
.71
metric
tons
of
NOx,
.014
tons
of
PM,
.036
tons
of
VOC,
54.65
tons
of
CO2,
and
.30
tons
of
CO
totaling
55.71
metric
tons
a
year.
Applied
to
the
53
parking
spaces
at
this
facility,
those
emissions
would
amount
to
about
2952.63
tons
each
year.

The
IdleAire
system
saves
100%
of
the
diesel
fuel
associated
with
extended
diesel
idling,
approximately
1.0
to
1.1
gallons
per
hour.

WALKING
SCHOOL
BUS
PROGRAMS
Walking
School
Bus
programs
help
provide
a
safe
and
healthy
way
for
young
students
to
travel
to
and
from
school
while
also
decreasing
vehicle­
related
pollution,
increasing
child
activity,
and
relieving
parents
of
extra
morning
stress.
Currently,
many
students
who
live
to
near
to
school
to
ride
the
bus
are
driven
to
and
from
school
by
their
parents.
Both
the
additional
vehicle
miles
traveled
and
vehicle
time
spent
idling
due
to
parental
drop­
off
and
pick­
up
are
sources
of
air
pollution.
Walking
School
Bus
matches
parents
of
non­
bus
riding
students
who
live
near
one
another
and
attend
the
same
school.
The
matched
parents
are
then
advised
to
set
up
a
schedule
by
which
they
divide
chaperoning
duties
for
a
small
group
of
students
on
their
walk
to
school.
Parental
supervision
increases
the
safety
of
the
student
walkers
and
thus
eases
parent
fears
about
allowing
their
children
to
walk
rather
than
be
driven.
Walking
to
school
provides
the
students
with
healthy
daily
activity,
and,
with
fewer
vehicles
making
the
home­
toschool
commute
air
pollution
and
parental
stress
are
significantly
reduced.

Lower
Reid
Vapor
Pressure
Fuel
control
measures
are
effective
strategies
for
states
to
use
to
reduce
ozone
pollution.
The
two
primary
approaches
to
fuel
controls
are
state
opt­
in
to
the
federal
RFG
program
subject
to
certain
conditions,
and
state
adoption
of
a
low
Reid
Vapor
Pressure
(
RVP)
requirement
that
is
more
stringent
than
the
applicable
federal
RVP
requirement.
While
both
approaches
reduce
volatile
organic
compounds,
which
are
precursors
to
ozone,
they
differ
in
their
overall
environmental
benefits,
whether
the
state
or
federal
government
administers
them,
and
the
statutory
provisions
governing
their
adoption.

About
Credits
for
Lower
RVP
Under
an
Early
Action
Compact
In
general,
the
Clean
Air
Act
(
CAA)
provides
that
states
are
preempted
from
adopting
their
own
fuel
control
requirements
different
from
existing
federal
requirements.
However,
EPA
may
waive
preemption
under
certain
circumstances.

State
opt­
in
to
the
RFG
program
is
not
preempted
because
EPA
establishes
and
enforces
the
federal
RFG
requirements
at
the
federal
level
and
the
Act
provides
explicit
authority
for
states
to
opt­
in
to
the
federal
requirements
under
section
211(
k).

State
adoption
of
low
RVP
gasoline
requirements
is
controlled
by
section
211(
c)(
4)
of
the
CAA.
Section
211(
c)(
4)(
A)
prohibits17
states
from
prescribing
or
attempting
to
enforce
any
"
control
or
prohibition"
of
a
"
characteristic
or
component
of
a
fuel
or
fuel
additive"
if
EPA
has
promulgated
a
control
or
prohibition
applicable
to
such
characteristic
or
component
under
section
211(
c)(
1).
This
preemption
does
not
apply
if
the
state
control
is
identical
to
the
federal
control.
Section
211(
c)(
4)(
C)
provides
an
exception
to
this
prohibition
for
a
non­
identical
state
standard
contained
in
a
state
SIP
where
the
standard
is
"
necessary
to
achieve"
the
primary
or
secondary
NAAQS
that
the
SIP
implements.
EPA
can
approve
such
a
state
SIP
provision
as
necessary
if
the
Administrator
finds
that
"
no
other
measures
that
would
bring
about
timely
attainment
exist,"
or
that
"
other
measures
exist
and
are
technically
possible
to
implement,
but
are
unreasonable
or
impracticable."

The
7.2
psi
gasoline
RVP
of
for
the
San
Antonio
region
was
proposed
after
undertaking
careful
and
in
depth
modeling,
cost­
benefit
analysis,
and
consideration
of
sentiments
of
the
local
communities
and
their
elected
officials.
The
local
refineries
have
also
been
contacted
to
determine
their
ability
to
produce
and
market
this
fuel
with
considerable
competition
among
each
other.
It
was
determined
that
the
refiners
were
technologically
capable
of
producing
the
proposed
gasoline
fuel
and
the
market
forces
would
drive
the
at­
pump
price.

If
allowed,
adoption
of
this
fuel
during
the
ozone
season
is
expected
to
help
reduce
emissions
of
VOCs
and
NOx
by
2.1
and
0.05
tons/
day
respectively.
The
requirement
for
gasoline
refineries
to
provide
such

will
only
be
during
the
months
of
March
through
October,

Overview
Modeling

indicated
that
lowering
the
RVP

would
reduce

from
the
on­

The
percentage

of
precursor
emissions
was
used
to
calculate
actual
reductions.
The
actual
reduction
was
estimated
by
multiplying
the
2007
daily
on
road
emissions
total
for
each
county
with
the
emission
reduction
percentage.
The
resulting
number
was
then
divided
by
100
to
provide
the
emission
reduction
total
in
tons
per
day.
