Background: Section 176(c) of the Clean Air Act (Act) establishes transportation conformity requirements which are intended to ensure that transportation activities do not interfere with air quality progress. The Act requires that transportation plans, programs, and projects that obtain federal funds or approvals conform to applicable State Implementation Plans (SIP) before being approved by a Metropolitan Planning Organization. On April 16, 2015 the Governing Board of the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (District) approved the 2015 Plan for the 1997 PM2.5 Standard (2015 Plan), which demonstrates attainment of the 15 ug/m3 annual PM2.5 standard in 2020 and the 65 ug/m3 24-hour PM2.5 standard in 2018. The 2015 Plan contains transportation conformity budgets for the annual PM2.5 standard in 2017 and 2020. On May 21, 2015 the Board held a public meeting and approved the 2015 Plan, which was submitted to United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) for approval. At the request of U.S. EPA, ARB staff is proposing additional transportation conformity motor vehicle emissions budgets for 2018. Thank you. California is in a drought emergency.
