MOBILE SOURCE COMMITTEE DISCUSSION ITEMS

1. Legislative Update

Staff stated that the legislature is currently in recess, and there has been no change in the status of pending legislation since the previous report to the Committee.

2. Progress Report on 1997 AQMP/PM ₁₀ Task Force

Staff reported that the main focus of the PM₁₀ Task Force meeting was the overview of the 1997 AQMP. However, since most of the Mobile Source Committee meeting participants had already heard the AQMP presentation previously, in the interest of time, staff proposed to skip the formal AQMP presentation and volunteered to sit down with any interested member of the audience after the meeting for a detailed presentation. Chairman Mikels agreed.

3. REACH Task Force

Staff gave a brief overview of the Task Force activities. Staff reported that during the last meeting, the consultants presented the results of their modeling analysis on the effectiveness of the various pricing strategies considered in terms of reducing congestion and emissions, and cost-effectiveness. AQMD staff expressed their reservations about the cost-effectiveness of the pricing strategies considered. Staff also reported that there was considerable confusion among the task force participants regarding the contents and assumptions included in the enhanced transit scenario considered. SCAG agreed to give a detailed account of the assumptions included in the scenario at the next meeting. A summary of the last two Task Force meetings are attached (Attachment 3).
