The increasing air pollution problem in metropolitan areas presents a serious threat to the health of the public. It has been reported that during the years 1983-85, 76 U.S. cities had violated the ozone pollution standards and 81 cities violated the limits on carbon monoxide. The Environmental Protection Agency has begun enforcement actions against cities that either have failed to develop an approved plan to reduce the pollution or have failed to carry out previously approved plans. Motor vehicle emissions are the major contributors to air pollution in urban areas. An effective solution to this problem is the reduction of motor vehicle emissions by means of a comprehensive transportation plan. This plan includes short term solutions such as automobile use management during certain days of the week, traffic management strategies, short term transit strategies, and parking management. This study: (1) developed a state-of-the-art report on the topic of Evaluation of Traffic Operation Countermeasures to Reduce Air Pollution; (2) recommended that further research be done to assess the effectiveness of different control strategies and motorist information systems on air pollution; (3) developed a research work plan for the proposed topic.
