    • Abstract:
      The Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA) of 1990 and the Intermodal Surface

      Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) of 1991 are a pivotal moment in

      transportation planning in the United States. In 1997 the U.S. Environmental

      Protection Agency revised both the ozone standard and the small particulate

      matter standard to be more stringent. In 1998 congress is poised to reauthorize

      the ISTEA. The paper is written from the point of view of North Carolina which

      operates and maintains the largest state maintained highway ssytem in the United

      States. North Carolina has seven counties classified as maintenance for one or

      more criteria pollutants. The new ozone standard impacts North Carolina more

      heavily than any state, other than Ohio.

      This paper examines the changes in transportation planning since 1990 and

      examines potential effects of recent changes to the ozone and fine particulate

      matter standard and what effect they might have on transportation planning.

      After discussing these issues the paper then presents a number of actions and

      strategies to allow States and MPOs to effectively deal with the new regulations.

      These strategies are based on experience in North Carolina since 1990.
