Transportation conformity is a way to ensure that Federal funding and approval goes to those transportation activities that are consistent with the air quality goals: to eliminate violations of health-based air quality standards, reduce the frequency and severity of such violations and reach attainment of clean air in a timely manner. The transportation conformity regulations detail implementation of the Clean Air Act requirements. At the Federal level, conformity determinations must be made by FHWA/FTA.
This training was prepared to help transportation and air quality practitioners understand transportation conformity and how conformity requirements relate to transportation investments in their states. Specifically, this training addresses many aspects of the conformity regulations, such as the implications of conformity on transportation plans, transportation improvement programs (TIPs), and transportation projects and the major elements of and parties involved in the conformity process.
