§ 650.96 - Transportation Control Plans.

(a) In addition to regulating the emissions from fixed sources, it may be necessary for a State to impose controls over transportation in order to achieve national ambient air standards. Large metropolitan areas, such as Los Angeles, California and Baltimore, Maryland are having to resort to such measures because the major portion of air pollution in those areas is caused by motor vehicles.

(b) Military installations and activities located within the area defined in EPA approved Transportation Control Plans are required to cooperate with local authorities in reducing vehicular traffic consistent with military requirements. Although the overall requirement is to reduce both military and civilian traffic, primary emphasis should be on reducing the use of privately owned vehicles. Consequently, Installation Transportation Control Plans which may be required for a particular region by Federal Regulations should be prepared and implemented as deemed necessary. Various control measures that will be considered include:

(1) Instituting a command carpooling with carpool locator program,

(2) Encouraging the use or expansion of public transportation service,

(3) Restricting available parking areas to promote carpooling,

(4) Issuing preferred parking spaces to carpool cars, and

(5) Encourage the use of bicycles/ walking for short on-post trips.

(c) Information regarding the existence of approved metropolitan Transportation Control Plans may be obtained from local air pollution control authorities or the Regional EPA Administrator.
