ENVIRONMENT PROJECT. PRELIMINARY FINDINGS REGIONAL AIR EMISSIONS

This study presents findings relative to changes in the emission of automobile generated pollutants (CO, HC and NOx) resulting from VMT changes associated with the use of BART. The effect of changing VMT on emissions of pollutants is assessed for both the total 9-county Bay Area airshed and for the 3-county BART service area. The findings are related to the Control Strategy Plan for the San Francisco Bay Area.
