| Abstract | The Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA) of 1990 require that non-attainment and air quality maintenance areas regularly conduct regional emissions analyses. In Louisiana, Baton Rouge and Lake Charles are ozone non-attainment areas while New Orleans is an air quality maintenance area. Eleven parishes in the state were non-compliant with respect to air quality at the time of the study, and the number was expected to increase in the future. The metropolitan authorities in the state felt the need to identify the most cost-effective way to conduct these analyses. The standard means of estimating vehicle emissions in metropolitan areas is the use of the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) MOBILE model. The most recent version of the model, MOBILE 6, has more comprehensive data input requirements than earlier models. The need thus existed to identify the most efficient and reliable way to obtain the input data for MOBILE 6 applications in metropolitan areas in Louisiana. |
