This Air Quality Action Plan is the first step in implementing the CDOT Air Quality Policy Directive 1901. CDOT's air quality policy promotes a forward looking vision of sustainable fleet management to effectively control internal transportation emissions and guides public outreach and education to further the understanding of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and mobile source air toxics (MSATs). This Air Quality Action Plan outlines proactive strategies designed to reduce transportation related GHG, air toxics and other related pollutant emissions statewide, thereby reducing the need to negotiate such measures in an ad hoc manner. The Air Quality Action Plan targets program development encompassing transit and sustainable community development, multi-modal freight movement and efficiency, operational highway management, congestion and idling reduction, innovations in fueling, engine maintenance and monitoring, retrofits, and alternative vehicle technologies.
