Eight reports are presented which deal with problems of air quality and air pollution controls relating to urban transportation, such as: the process for incorporating air quality considerations into the transportation planning and decision-making processes, the impact on transportation of new federal air pollution controls; short-term air pollution control strategies for transportation; the need to integrate air quality considerations into the long-range transportation planning process; a description of meteorological ambient air quality field measurements and traffic data that are necessary to write an environmental impact statement; a procedure for determining whether detailed air quality studies are warranted for proposed transportation corridor alternatives; the tieing together of the physical processes by which the microclimate is related to diffusion and transport of pollution on the microscale and mesoscale; and an air diffusion model that includes variables such as speeds, volumes, distances on network links, and meteorological data to forecast concentrations of carbon monoxide.
