摘要: The Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA) of 1990 require far-reaching efforts under the 'transportation conformity' regulations to assure that transportation investments in non-attainment and maintenance areas are consistent with state commitments to meet national air pollution standards. This research documents how these regulations were implemented during the period 1991 through January 1998. The focal questions that organized the study are how has conformity affected key agencies and constituencies' organizational capacity and relationships; how has conformity changed the transportation planning/programming process and its results; and how has conformity changed air quality planning and regulation. Although the research does not attempt to evaluate the technical dimension of conformity modeling, it seeks to place the technical process in the larger context of the institutional relationships involved.
