  • Air Quality Planning and Transportation Conformity
    Appendix C: Air Quality Planning and Transportation Conformity Draft for Public Review May 2021 Appendix C: Air Quality Planning and Transportation Conformity Executive Summary The San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG), as the region’s Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), must make a transportation air quality conformity determination for regional transportation plans (RTPs) and regional transportation improvement programs (RTIPs). The purpose of transportation conformity is to ensure that federally funded or approved activities are consistent with the State Implementation Plan (SIP). This ensures that no transportation activities will cause or contribute to new air quality violations, worsen existing violations, or delay the attainment of any relevant National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). This report documents a demonstration of conformity for the 2008 and 2015 Ozone NAAQS for San Diego Forward: The 2021 Regional Plan (2021 Regional Plan) and the 2021 Regional Transportation Improvement Program (2021 RTIP), as amended. The 2021 Regional Plan serves as the region’s Regional Transportation Plan (RTP). Background The federal Clean Air Act (CAA), which was last amended in 1990, requires the United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) to set NAAQS for pollutants considered harmful to public health and the environment. California has adopted state air quality standards that are more stringent than the NAAQS.1 Areas with levels that violate the standard for specified pollutants are designated as nonattainment areas. The U.S. EPA requires that each state containing nonattainment areas develop and adopt plans to attain the NAAQS by a specified attainment deadline. These attainment plans are called SIPs. The San Diego County Air Pollution Control District (SDAPCD), in collaboration with California Air Resources Board (CARB), prepares the San Diego portion of the California SIP.

  • Background Paper
    JOINT HEARING WITH THE SPECIAL COMMITTEE ON PANDEMIC EMERGENCY RESPONSE “The Impact of COVID-19 in California’s Border Region” Tuesday, June 30, 2020 at 10:00am State Capitol, Senate Chamber Background Paper BACKGROUND California shares over 140 miles of our Southern border with Mexico and this close proximity has played a key role in the way that COVID-19 impacts the border region. Unfortunately, this virus preys on our interconnectedness and is not bound by human-made borders. The interconnectedness of the California- Mexico border region has undoubtedly played a role in the profusion of COVID-19. While the state is flattening the curve in the aggregate, this is not the case for communities along the border. Rate of infections and hospitalization have rapidly increased and hospitals have been overwhelmed. This has resulted in the transferring of COVID-19 patients to other hospitals in the region and across the state. The COVID-19 pandemic has heightened the strain on our hospitals, local government, and drastically impacted our economies on both sides of the border. To that end, in order to ensure that California is doing everything it can to protect the health and safety of people on the border region and the rest of the state, the Senate Select Committee on California-Mexico Cooperation and the Senate Special Committee on Pandemic Emergency Response have convened a hearing on “The Impact of COVID-19 in California’s Border Region”. This hearing will provide the committees with an opportunity to understand how the state is communicating with our partners in Mexico, what efforts have been undertaken to coordinate with and support those partners, and to provide us with information as to how the state plans to address COVID-19 in California’s border region.
