A SUMMARY OF THE TRANSPORTATION PROGRAMS AND PROVISIONS OF THE CLEAN AIR ACT AMENDMENTS OF 1990

To achieve the goals of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (CAAA), State and local officials must first understand the requirements for transportation plans, programs, and projects. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has prepared this brochure to explain in detail Title I of the CAAA, and selected parts of Title II. Technical terms are highlighted and defined throughout the brochure and, for easy reference, the terms are again defined in the glossary. The contents are organized as follows: Message from the Federal Highway Administrator (T.D. Larson); Overview; Title I - Transportation Provisions for Attainment and Maintenance of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards -- Transportation Provisions for Ozone, Carbon Monoxide, and Small Particulate Matter Nonattainment Areas, Conformity, Transportation Planning Procedures, and Sanctions; Title II - Transportation Provisions for Mobile Source Emissions -- Vehicle Emissions Standards, Fuel Requirements, and Clean-Fuel and Vehicle Requirements; Conclusion; List of Contacts; and Glossary.
