msei -- SAVE THE DATE FOR A PUBLIC WORKSHOP ON UPDATES TO MOBILE SOURCE EMISSIONS INVENTORY TOOLS

Posted: 10 Sep 2013 13:27:14
The California Air Resources Board (ARB) invites you to
participate in a workshop on Tuesday, October 8, 2013 to discuss
the development of updates to mobile source emissions inventory
tools for air quality assessment at ARB.



 At the workshop staff will provide a detailed description of
updates to the EMFAC model as well as to several other mobile
source categories.  An agenda will be distributed two weeks prior
to the workshop.  

The public workshop will be held at the following location:

Workshop Information and Background

The past several decades have seen dramatic improvements in air
quality as a result of regulations that 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 mobile source
analysis tools to support air quality planning focused on
achieving this transition.  

The EMFAC model is the primary tool that the California Air
Resources Board uses to assess emissions from on-road vehicles
including cars, trucks, and buses.  Originally developed to
support low emission vehicle regulations, EMFAC has been enhanced
since first developed to now support climate change and regional
scale air quality planning, development of ARB regulations
focused on in-use vehicles as well as new emissions standards,
and assessment of project level emissions impacts for
transportation planning.  In this workshop updates to the EMFAC
model focused on providing improved functionalities in these
areas will be discussed.
