Abstract:The Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA) of 1990 require that non-attainment and air quality
maintenance areas regularly conduct regional emissions analyses. In Louisiana, Baton Rouge
and Lake Charles are ozone non-attainment areas while New Orleans is an air quality
maintenance area. Eleven parishes in the state were non-compliant with respect to air quality at
the time of the study, and the number was expected to increase in the future. The metropolitan
authorities in the state felt the need to identify the most cost-effective way to conduct these
analyses.
The standard means of estimating vehicle emissions in metropolitan areas is the use of the
Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) MOBILE model. The most recent version of the
model, MOBILE 6, has more comprehensive data input requirements than earlier models. The
need thus existed to identify the most efficient and reliable way to obtain the input data for
MOBILE 6 applications in metropolitan areas in Louisiana.
