Staff released the Air Quality Conformity Determination Report (AQ CDR) on November 28 and posted public input opportunities on the MPO Web page and local newspapers. The Report finds that the 2045 MTP, and any Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) that is based on the 2045 MTP, meet the air pollution emission thresholds (also known as budgets) analyzed in the AQ CDR.
The adoption resolution is attached. A copy of the AQ CDR is available on the following MPO Web page: http://www.dchcmpo.org/programs/climate/airquality.asp
In terms of schedule, keep in mind that the AQ CDR needs to be adopted by February 16, 2019 to continue federal transportation actions in our area.
