State and Local Transportation Resources

EPA's Office of Transportation and Air Quality (OTAQ) has provided multiple conformity training sessions in the past to assist state and local governments in implementing conformity requirements. OTAQ is not hosting any training sessions at this time. As training information is prepared for other venues, it will be posted on this page.

Other sources for transportation conformity training or workshops covering transportation conformity issues include:

• National Transit Institute’s Introduction to Transportation Conformity
  This course presents basic information about conformity requirements and the relationship of the transportation and air quality planning processes in order to prepare agency staff (federal, state, and local) to participate in interagency and consultation and work effectively in implementing conformity requirements. This course was developed by the FTA and FHWA in consultation with EPA.
• National Highway Institute’s Estimating Regional Mobile Source Emissions
  The focus of this training course is to develop the skills of planners and practitioners responsible for estimating mobile source emissions so that they can incorporate these techniques into practice in their areas. This course has been developed by DOT in coordination with EPA.
• Northern Transportation and Air Quality Summit (NTAQS 2008)
  Dates:  08/13/2008 to 08/15/2008
  Location:  Baltimore, MD
  Description:  This Summit brought together stakeholders from the transportation and air quality communities to discuss the current and upcoming regulatory environment, new technologies, and current practices. It was geared toward practitioners in the northeastern and Mid-Atlantic states involved with public agencies at all levels. A host of speakers from the national and regional levels presented key topics, best practices, and latest information vital to transportation, planning, and air quality professionals.
