discuss updates to the on-road component of the mobile source
emission inventory. At the webinar, staff will summarize updates
that have been made to EMFAC and present updated methodologies
from the upcoming EMFAC2017 model.  This will be the first public
workshop to discuss the development of the EMFAC2017 model.

Slides for the June 1, 2017 workshop have been posted on ARB's
public website at:

-Workshop Information and Background-

The past several decades have seen dramatic improvements in air
quality as a result of regulations that have reduced emissions
from stationary and mobile sources.  However, substantial
additional emissions reductions will be necessary to meet more
stringent ozone air quality standards and California’s long-term
greenhouse gas emissions reduction goals.  ARB is expanding its
mobile source analysis tools to support air quality planning
focused on achieving these goals.

The EMFAC model is the primary tool ARB uses to assess emissions
from on-road vehicles including cars, trucks, and buses. This
public webinar workshop will discuss the development of the
upcoming EMFAC2017 version of the model. At the webinar, staff
will provide a description of the methodologies incorporated and
updates made to the model.  A subsequent workshop in the fall
will cover model estimates and explain differences between the
new estimates and those from the prior version of the model,
EMFAC2014.
