Topic: Air emissions reductions strategy
Website for Boston Air Pollution Control Commission's Community Clean Air Grant Program which funds community based projects to reduce air pollution and carbon emissions. The site provides useful examples of application procedures and projects that have received funding.
Report providing evidence-based guidance to inform local actions to reduce air pollution and its impacts on health. Includes interventions to address mobile sources, buildings, industrial sources, agriculture, and individual behavior.
Provides six case studies of strategies for air pollution management from cities around the world, including New York City, NY; Barranquilla, Columbia; Accra, Ghana; Kampala, Uganda; Jakarta, Indonesia; and Beijing, China. The New York case study focused on enhanced local air quality monitoring to address specific causes of local poor air quality.
Website that provides access to information on local government strategies to reduce emissions of air pollution. Includes information for mobile sources, area, non-road, and stationary sources. Includes model ordinances and policies.
This is a report that provides information on funding and financing approaches that are potentially applicable at state and city levels. It highlights opportunities to leverage public and private financial resources. The report was developed for EU cities, but many of the examples and cases are applicable to U.S. cities.
Website providing information on the Charlotte Grants to Replace Aging Diesel Engines program, which is designed to reduce NOx emissions from heavy duty non-road equipment.
Website providing links to reports on several different diesel emissions reduction programs.
Searchable database of enforcement information that includes data on specific facilities with violations, enforcement actions, and penalties. Provides very detailed information about violating facilities as well as information on the communities near the facility.
The Control Strategy Tool (CoST), developed in 2008, is part of EPA's Emissions Modeling Framework (EMF). CoST is used to estimate emissions reductions and engineering costs associated with control strategies applied to point and area sources of air pollutant emissions to support the analyses of air pollution policies and regulations.
EPA's MOtor Vehicle Emission Simulator (MOVES) is a state-of-the-science emission modeling system that estimates emissions for mobile sources at the national, county, and project level for criteria air pollutants, greenhouse gases, and air toxics, available under EPA's Open Source Software policy.
