Description
Summary:State departments of transportation (DOTs) conduct project-level air quality analyses to comply with the National Environmental Policy Act and meet transportation conformity rule requirements where applicable. DOTs are interested in a rigorous and systematic model review and update process for regulatory dispersion models to ensure the models generate credible results. NCHRP Research Report 1058: Assessing Air Pollution Dispersion Models for Emissions Regulation, from TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program, presents state-of-the-art methods and analytical approaches for project-level air quality modeling by reviewing eight air quality models in use for transportation project analyses.
