This report assesses the effectiveness of vehicle retirement programs in reducing emissions from the motor vehicle fleets, as well as examining the effect of a program's timing on the magnitude of these reductions. First, the eastern Massachusetts nonattainment area serves as an example to demonstrate the potential reductios in volatile organic compounds (VOC) and nitrous oxides (NOx) emissions for retirement of all light-duty vehicles over twenty years old. The assumption that all old vehicles are retired obviously represents and extreme approach to reducing emissions; however, it is meant to test the effectiveness as a policy measure, rather than designing a program specifically for Massachusetts. Second, components of the MOBILE model are examined to assess the model's capablity to replicate real-world vehicular emissions.
