9 VAC 5 CHAPTER 150, REGULATION FOR TRANSPORTATION CONFORMITY

The regulation establishes criteria and procedures for the transportation planning organizations to determine whether federally-funded transportation plans, programs and projects are in conformance with state plans for attaining and maintaining national ambient air quality standards.

The goals of the regulation are to: (i) protect public health and/or welfare with the least possible cost and intrusiveness to the citizens and businesses of the Commonwealth; (ii) ensure that federally-funded transportation plans, programs and projects are in conformance with state plans for attaining and maintaining national ambient air quality standards; and (iii) prohibit emissions which would contribute to nonattainment of the national air quality standards or interference with maintenance of the standards.
