  • 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.
