Page 44 of 93 <br /> to develop a regional plan for tracking and curtailing GHG emissions due to <br /> transportation sources. ODOT is currently completing GreenSTEP, a model <br /> that enables assessment of various emission reduction strategies at the state <br /> level. Work is yet to be done to bring a tool such as this to the county or MPO <br /> geographic scale. <br /> ,ACTION ITEMS (LCOG) <br /> 1. State CO Implementation Plan Work Program <br /> Update the current Central Lane carbon monoxide plan within the State <br /> Implementation Plan (SIP) to cover the last half of the required 20-year <br /> maintenance period. <br /> Tasks Year 1 <br /> ¦ Continue work with USEPA, DEQ, LRAPA and FHWA on the <br /> development of a work program to address the need for an intermediate <br /> year update of the CO State Implementation Plan. <br /> ¦ Inventory sources, analyze released emissions of CO, and determine <br /> 'contributions by transportation sources. <br /> ¦ Develop a draft CO Limited Maintenance Plan (LMP). <br /> Products Year 1 <br /> ? Draft CO Limited Maintenance Plan <br /> ' Tasks Year 2 <br /> ¦ ' Update the current Central Lane carbon monoxide plan within the State <br /> Implementation Plan (SIP) to cover the last half of the required 20-year <br /> maintenance period. <br /> ¦ Take the Draft Limited Maintenance Plan (LMP) through the peer and <br /> public review stages to adoption. <br /> .Products Year 2 <br /> ? Final CO Limited Maintenance Plan <br /> 2. Advanced Emissions Model <br /> Continue efforts to implement EPA's greenhouse gas model (MOVES) for <br /> use in conformity determinations and to compute greenhouse gas <br /> emissions based on fleet and fuel compositions and use: The release of <br /> the-MOVES model as the replacement of the current emission factor <br /> model (MOBILE6.2) is scheduled for April. 2009. Within 2 years of its <br /> release, this model will be mandatory for analyses for conformity <br /> determinations. <br /> Tasks <br /> ¦ Acquire and implement MOVES software package <br /> ¦ Acquire local data for model <br /> ¦ Train staff in use of model <br /> <br /> Central Lane MPO Unified Planning Work Program FY 2010 and 2011 <br /> <br />
