MAP-21 Air Quality and Congestion Mitigation Measure Outcomes Assessment Study

Section 1113(c) of MAP-21 requires that the U.S. Department of Transportation, in consultation with the Environmental Protection Agency, examine the outcomes of actions funded under the CMAQ Program since the enactment of the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU). The goals of this study are to assess emission reductions and human health outcomes of surface transportation actions, increase the knowledge of factors determining the human health changes associated with these transportation actions, and assess the validity of estimation and modeling routines.
