Section I. Preface This document was developed by the New York Metropolitan Transportation Council (NYMTC) to demonstrate that its Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) and Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), as updated, are in compliance with the mobile source emission budgets for the air quality nonattainment and maintenance areas that fall in whole or in part within the NYMTC Planning Boundary. In accordance with the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) regulation 40 CFR 93 Subpart A, this conformity determination is being issued in response to the adoption of Non-Exempt amendments to the current NYMTC TIP and RTP. In addition, the conformity determination demonstrates compliance with 23 CFR § 450.322, 23 CFR § 450.324 and 40 CFR § 93.108-119, and 6 NYCRR § 240. This determination was conducted with the USEPA’s Motor Vehicle Emission Simulator (MOVES 2014a).

Section III. Overview Every urban area in the United States of more than 50,000 persons, as recognized by the U.S. Bureau of the Census, must have a designated Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) to qualify for federal highway and transit funding (23 CFR ยง 450.310). New York Metropolitan Transportation Council (NYMTC) was formed in June 1982 when its members entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and were subsequently designated as the MPO for New York City, Long Island and the lower Hudson Valley by Governor Carey on July 1, 1982. NYMTCโ s Planning Area Boundary includes the five boroughs of New York City, along with Putnam, Rockland, and Westchester counties in the lower Hudson Valley and Nassau and Suffolk counties on Long Island. USEPA 40 CFR ยง 51.390 requires the Transportation Conformity State Implementation Plans (SIP) to address three sections of the USEPA Conformity Rule: 40 CFR ยง 93.105 (consultation procedures); 40 CFR ยง 93.122 (written commitments to implement control measures that are not contained in the transportation plan or Transportation Improvement Program (TIP); and 40 CFR ยง 93.125(c) (written commitments to implement mitigation measures). On October 3, 2013, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) submitted a SIP revision that addressed the three provisions of the USEPA Transportation Conformity Rule required by CAA section 176(c)(4)(D). The State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision was approved by USEPA, effective September 29, 2014. 6 NYCRR ยง 240-2 identifies the appropriate agencies, procedures, and allocation of responsibilities for consultation and is consistent with 40 CFR ยง 93.105. The procedures were followed within the NYMTC conformity determination process addressed in Section IV of this document. In summary, NYMTC participated in several monthly and ad-hoc meetings with the New York State Interagency Consultation Group (NYSICG) for air quality conformity during the development of the air quality conformity determination. This consultation ensures that NYMTC uses the latest emissions model and planning assumptions in its regional emissions analysis, appropriately addressing all non-exempt and regionally significant projects, and have successfully passed all required emissions reductions tests to support an affirmative conformity determination, thus meeting the 6 NYCRR ยง 240-2 criteria. Concerning 40 CFR ยง 93.122(a)(4)(ii) and ยง 93.125(c), the SIP specifies in 6 NYCRR ยง 240-3.1 and 240-3.2, respectively, that written commitments for control and mitigation measures must be obtained before a positive conformity determination. There are no Transportation Control Measures specified in the New York State SIP for air quality and no emission reduction credit is claimed in the NYMTC regional emissions analysis determination from any measure that is not in the TIP and Regional Transportation Plan (RTP). Thus, NYMTC has met the regional conformity criteria in 6 NYCRR ยง 240-3. The intent of transportation conformity is to fully coordinate transportation and air quality planning to ensure that the RTP, TIP, and transportation projects will not 1) cause or contribute to any new violation of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS), 2) increase the frequency or severity of any existing NAAQS violations, or 3) delay timely attainment of the Section III-1

NAAQS or any required interim emissions reductions or other milestones in any area. Transportation conformity requires that the overall set of investments contained in an MPO’s RTP and TIP move the region toward cleaner air. Therefore, NYMTC, as an MPO, must consider the air quality impacts of its transportation investments. This transportation conformity determination (conformity determination) addresses all non-attainment and maintenance areas that fall in whole or in part within the NYMTC Planning Area Boundary. These include the following: •

The New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island, NY-NJ-CT PM2.5 Maintenance Area consisting of all NYMTC counties except for Putnam County.

•

New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island, NY-NJ-CT Ozone Area and includes all NYMTC counties except Putnam. It also includes, within New York State, Orange County and all or portions of eight other MPO boundaries across the tri-state area. Coordination with Orange County Transportation Council (OCTC) is required as part of each conformity determination. Details are shown in the analysis by pollutant section and Appendix 3.

•

Further details of the regional emissions analysis requirements for each of these nonattainment and maintenance areas are described in the Analysis by Pollutant portion of the document (see Section V).

Section III-2

Section IV. Regional Emissions Analysis The process components noted below are the core of NYMTCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Transportation Conformity Determination for all pollutants in the regional emissions analysis.

The Analysis Process TRAVEL DEMAND MODELING To determine the impact of future non-exempt and regionally significant transportation projects, NYMTC uses the New York Best Practice Model (NYBPM), an activity-based travel demand model, to predict and simulate detailed travel patterns for every household in the 28-county study area, over a 24-hour period, based on their travel behavior. The NYBPM examines the daily activities, i.e., work or leisure of all individuals residing in a household, and evaluates the intrahousehold interactions, constrained by choice of travel concerning mode, cost, time and space, to predict travel demand of that household. The model uses journeys (travel between two primary locations including stops) as a unit of travel rather than just home-to-work trips. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) software is used to map the existing and proposed transportation networks that are used by models to predict journey generation, destination and mode choice, time of day travel, and trip assignment/route choice to simulate travel patterns.

MODEL COMPONENTS Network Files The NYBPM contains network files which represent the roadway and transit system in the area covered by the model ways. The roadway network file is encoded and simulated using TransCAD software, which features a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) framework that provides a realistic representation of roadways. The roadway network contains 60,793 internal links or roadway segments covering 20,988 centerline miles and includes all freeways and major arterials, most minor arterials, and some local and collector roadways. The characteristics of these roadways represented in the network include information on the number of lanes, functional class, speed, parking regulations, and truck usage. The centerline and total lane mileage included in the NYBPM highway network is noted in Table 1 below.

The transit network file contains transit service characteristics, which is used with TransCAD network settings and coding protocols to calculate the skims (or impedance) needed to predict destination, mode, and route choices. The transit network representation integrates the many diverse transit services in New York City, Long Island, northern New Jersey, and five upstate New York counties into a single TransCAD (version 6.0) route system. The services include: â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘

Commuter rail lines (Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) Long Island Rail Road, MTA Metro-North Commuter Railroad, and New Jersey Transit), Rapid transit lines (MTA New York City Transit and Port Authority Trans-Hudson (PATH), and the Newark Light Rail, Hudson Bergen Light Rail,

â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘

Express, limited stop and local bus routes, as well as bus rapid transit and Select Bus Service routes (more than 20 operators), and Ferry operations and an aerial tramway.

TRIP GENERATION The NYBPM generates trips by applying a set of models called the Household, AutoOwnership and Journey-Frequency Model (HAJ) that simulates total journeys for every household for all travel purposes over a 24-hour period. A journey is defined as travel between two primary locations, where one end is always home, and the other end is work, school or other primary location. Households are grouped by income, auto availability, size, employment status, and age. The HAJ model combined with the Monte Carlo technique is used to generate discrete journeys for individual members of the households after evaluating the interaction between household members in combination with time and space constraints that each person experiences given to multiple-journey and daily activity patterns. The HAJ model is comprised of the following set of sub-models applied in sequence: 1) household-synthesizing sub-model, 2) auto-ownership sub-model, and 3) journey frequency sub-model. These sub-models are described below: Household Synthesizing Sub-Model (HSM) The HSM forecasts the number and distribution of households in each transportation analysis zone. Using U.S. Census data, the sub-model calculates the probability for each possible combination of the household characteristics, including income, size, number of workers, non-working adults, and number of children. These probabilities are then used in combination with the aggregate demographic forecasts to produce the total number of households in each category and each zone for all target years. Auto-Ownership Sub-Model (AOSM) The AOSM determines the number of automobiles available in each household. The sub-model considers the influence of household income and composition, vehicle-maintenance cost, parking availability, transit and highway accessibility, residential area type, and density. Journey-Frequency Sub-Model (JFSM) The JFSM determines the daily number of paired journeys (outbound and inbound) each person makes in every household for all travel purposes. Each person is categorized as a worker, non-working adult, or a child. The sub-model evaluates intra-household interrelationships among different household members, transit accessibility, and auto availability to come up with journey frequency for each person. Linkage of journey-frequency models across different household

Section IV-3

members allows for forecasting of a realistic set of journeys undertaken by each household.

TRIP ATTRACTION The journey attraction model for NYBPM uses linear regression equations with contributing land use, socioeconomic and demographic variables such as population, household, total employment, retail employment, office employment, school enrollment, and university enrollment. The attraction model is segmented by land use type for eight travel purposes resulting in a set of journey attraction rates that are used by the destination choice model.

TRIP DISTRIBUTION The Mode, Destination, and Stop Choice (MDSC) model in the NYBPM has replaced the traditional trip distribution and mode choice model. The two steps are combined as most choices regarding destination and mode are co-dependent. The travel purposes forecasted are work (low, medium, high income), school, university, maintenance, discretionary, and at work journeys. The MDSC comprises pre-mode choice, destination and mode choice, intermediate stop frequency and stop-location choices, modeled in sequence. In addition to combining the destination and the mode choice model, this step also introduces the concept of an intermediate stop in a journey. Explicitly modeling the number and locations of the stops on journeys enables for a realistic representation of the interrelated decisions made by the traveler regarding all their destinations (primary and secondary) and modes. Pre-Mode Choice Sub-Model (PMCSM) The PMCSM distinguishes between motorized and non-motorized travel based on the person and household characteristics, and land-use densities around the journey origin. Destination Choice Sub-Model (DCSM) The DCSM for motorized modes is different from the non-motorized subsets of journeys. The motorized modes use logit models to predict destination choices while the non-motorized modes use gravity models for trip distribution. These models take into account the available attractions for each zone in retail, office and other employment categories along with school and university enrollments, and then distribute journeys to the destination zones. Motorized Mode Choice Sub-Model (MMCSM) The MMCSM predicts travelerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mode choice decisions based on various time and cost factors as well as a person and householdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s characteristics. This model

Section IV-4

includes eight modes: drive alone; shared ride – 2 (driver and passenger); shared ride – 3+ (driver and two or more passengers); taxi; walk to transit (including bus, subway and ferry); drive to transit; walk to commuter rail; and drive to commuter rail. Stop-Frequency Choice Sub-Model (SFCSM) The SFCSM considers four combinations of stop making choices: stop on the inbound journey only, stop on the outbound journey only, one stop each on the inbound and outbound journeys, and direct journeys with no stops. Stop-Location Choice Sub-Model (SLCSM) The SLCSM predicts a location zone for each modeled stop based on the density of potential attractions along the journey route from the origin to destination and the deviation (i.e., additional impedance) from the base journey route that is associated with visiting the stop zone. The choice models are either multinomial or nested logit constructs. Multinomial logit models are applied for journey frequency, pre-mode, and destination choices. They assume that all choice alternatives are equally similar and thus choice can be made according to their utility functions. Nested logit models are applied for mode and car-ownership choice where choice alternatives have a differential degree of similarity and should be grouped by characteristics in the choice modeling procedure (for example transit modes are grouped while drive-alone and shared ride choices form a separate grouping).

AUXILIARY MODELS In addition to the main model, some auxiliary models are used in the NYBPM’s transportation simulation. Time of Day Sub-Model (TDSM) TDSM is used to convert the daily journeys into traditional trips by four time periods for traffic assignments process – morning (AM - 6 am to10 am), evening (PM - 4 pm to 8 pm), midday (MD - 10 am to 4 pm), and night (NT - 8 pm to 6 am). Truck and Commercial Van Sub-Models Long distance and short distance truck trips and commercial vans trip tables are estimated outside the main model to create forecasts for future years. Truck classes are expanded to medium size trucks (single unit trucks), heavy size trucks (multi-unit trucks) and other commercial vehicles (commercial vans).

Section IV-5

External Auto Sub-Model To account for trips, leaving the study area, trips from the neighboring region coming into the study area, and through trips passing through the study area, external trip tables are forecasted based on data collected at the cordon lines and other resources.

TRIP ASSIGNMENT The trip tables from the TDSM are combined with the truck and commercial trip tables and external trip tables to create the highway and transit trip tables by time-period. These highway and transit trip tables are assigned to the highway and transit networks to forecast vehicular traffic flows on roadway segments and transit route ridership.

CALCULATING EMISSION INVENTORY MOVES 2014a Inputs and Parameters NYMTC utilized the Motor Vehicle Emissions Simulator (MOVES) model, version 2014a, developed by the USEPA to conduct this regional emissions analysis of the 20172045 RTP and 2017 - 2021 TIP as amended. MOVES is the state-of-the-art model for estimating emissions from all on-road vehicles including cars, trucks, motorcycles, and buses. As noted in the USEPA transportation conformity regulation and associated USEPA guidance, all regional emissions analyses are required to be based on the MOVES model which is the latest approved emission model. There are two options for running the MOVES emissions calculation, 1) the inventory mode, and 2) the emission rate mode. The inventory mode calculates a total emissions inventory based on vehicle miles of travel and vehicle population data that are input by the user. The emission rate mode produces a look-up table of emission rates including emissions per unit of distance for running emissions, the rate per profile for evaporative processes, and rate per vehicle for starts and extended idle processes. Per USEPA guidance, an MPO may select either method to conduct regional emissions analyses. NYMTC chose to use the emissions rate mode in its MOVES modeling because emissions rates can be applied to multiple scenarios in the same calendar analysis year, thereby reducing the amount of â&#x20AC;&#x153;run-timeâ&#x20AC;? for each scenario analysis.

NYBPM 2010 BASE YEAR The latest version of NYBPM, which is the 2010 base, is used to perform the regional emissions analysis. This model represents the transportation condition of the year 2010. The Graphical User Interface (GUI) for the NYBPM streamlines the model runs and minimizes human interactions by simplifying the process through a flow chart approach illustrating the sub-models visually. A significant number of enhancements occurred in the update. The network was enhanced through conflation to match the existing road alignment graphically. Truck route designation for through and local trucks on the highway network were identified; Section IV-6

truck trips are now represented in two groups as long distance and short distance, and commercial vans are also enhanced to improve truck and commercial trip estimations; to properly account for capacity reduction due to bus traffic, the highway network was revised. Additionally, the Transportation Analysis Zone (TAZ) system was revised, and TAZs in New York and Connecticut correspond to 2010 census tracts or census block boundaries, and new TAZs are introduced to represent special generator zones. The operating cost and value of time were updated to represent 2010 dollars; the value of time for trucks was revised to reflect better the existing behavior, and parking cost at park-and-ride facilities for bus, subway, and commuter rail access for residents and non-residents were improved as well.

Section IV-7

POST PROCESSOR SYSTEM FOR AIR QUALITY (PPS- AQ) On August 25, 2011, the New York State Interagency Consultation Group (NYSICG) for air quality conformity concurred that the NYMTC Best Practices Model Post Processor Air Quality Software (PPS-AQ) for MOVES would use the MOVES emission rate mode in regional emissions analyses to support NYMTC’s transportation air quality conformity determinations. On January 17, 2018, the NYSICG concurred that the PPS-AQ updated with MOVES 2014a would be used for the regional emissions analysis of the 2017 2021 TIP and 2045 RTP, as amended. The PPS-AQ is a powerful middleware web-based application that bridges input data from the NYBPM and runs it through the motor vehicle emission simulator(MOVES). The PPS-AQ preprocesses NYBPM output data, invokes MOVES to generate emission rate files, and produces emission inventory for regional emission analysis. Specific modeling inputs and parameters used to develop the PPS-AQ emission rates used in the regional emissions analysis are described below: Domain/Scale Scale: Analyses are performed at the county level. The roadways are disaggregated by functional class and after Highway Performance Monitoring Standards (HPMS) reconciliation, are aggregated to MOVES road type for emissions analysis. Calculation Type: Analysis is performed using the “emissions rate” methodology. Time Span: Analyses are performed for 24 one-hour periods of a weekday since the NYBPM data represents an average weekday. The PPS-AQ applies monthly adjustment factors to incorporate monthly fluctuation and then multiplies that adjusted value to the number of days in that particular month to produce monthly vehicle miles of travel (VMTs); Yearly VMT is the aggregation of the twelve months. The analysis years and months correspond to the pollutants for which the emissions are being generated. For example, all twelve months are selected for the annual emissions analysis of particulate matter of diameter 2.5 microns and less (PM2.5) and nitrogen oxides (NOx); and for ozone, analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOC) and NOx, a July day is selected for evaluation. Geographic Bounds Custom domains based on the geographic boundary of each nonattainment area in the NYMTC area were established in the PPS-AQ. These domains correspond to the nonattainment area boundaries that are defined in Section VI, Analysis by Pollutant.

PREPARING EMISSION RATES WITH PRE-MOVES In PPS-AQ, a user-friendly Pre-MOVES page has been developed to define a scenario and generate emission rate batch files for the desired milestone years. Three emission rate files generated from MOVES are:

Section IV-9

1. Rate per distance is used for on-road running processes to capture exhaust and most evaporative emissions for each temperature and 16 speed bins, and the units are in grams per vehicle-mile. 2. Rate per vehicle is used for off-network to capture exhaust and most evaporative emissions such as starts and extended-idle for each temperature and hour, and units are grams per vehicle. 3. Rate per profile is used for evaporative vapor venting for each temperature and hour, and the units are in grams per vehicle. After calculating the MOVES emission rates on local computers, the emission rate files along with NYBPM network and period outputs are uploaded on the web server where the PPS-AQ Main Page further applies customized scripts/programs to post-process the inputs and calculate emission inventories for each county by MOVES road type.

PROCESSING TRAFFIC ACTIVITY DATA The NYBPM traffic assignment output has to undergo a series of adjustments to represent regional VMTs as well as to become compatible with the MOVES emission rate files. It involves seven steps as detailed below to process traffic activity data fully. For each scenario selected in the PPS-AQ Main Page, these seven steps are followed accordingly. Step 1 - Calculation of VMT For each time-period and each link in the NYBPM network, VMT is calculated by multiplying the link flow with the link length. Step 2 - Apply Seasonal/Monthly adjustment factors Depending on the selected conformity scenario, seasonal adjustment factors are applied to adjust the VMT to match seasonal variability in traffic conditions. For the Summer Daily NOx and VOC regional emissions analysis and the Annual NOx and PM2.5 monthly regional emissions analysis, the seasonal adjustment factors from the file (NYSDOT 2017 Seasonal Adjustment Factors.pdf) published in NYSDOT website is used. The seasonal and monthly adjustment factors provided by NYSDOT are shown in the following tables.

Step 3 - HPMS Reconciliation of Freeway and Arterial Roads The Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS) reconciliation factors, which are by functional class and county-specific, are applied to road links with freeway and arterial classifications to calibrate the VMTs. The freeways include functional classes 1, 2, 11, and 12, and arterial include functional classes 14, and 16 (please see Table 1). The HPMS reconciliation factors are calculated by taking the ratio between the county level HPMS-based VMT (provided by NYSDOT) by functional class and network VMT

of the same functional class for the year from the NYBPM. The ratio is held constant for future years. The following table shows the HPMS reconciliation factors generated by county and functional class.

Step 4 - Apply Hourly VMT adjustment factors The VMT data from the NYBPM contains information on VMT for each link or roadway segment by four time periods â&#x20AC;&#x201C; morning (AM - 6 am to10 am), evening (PM - 4 pm to 8 pm), midday (MD - 10 am to 4 pm), and night (NT - 8 pm to 6 am). These time periods are expanded to 24 one-hour periods for each link for an average weekday. The hourly VMT fraction Input Data file for each county is applied to distribute the period VMTs to each hour with that period using the relative hourly proportion. The hourly VMT fractions were provided by NYSDOT on November 29, 2017. Step 5 - Post-Process Speed and Travel Time In this step, the link speed for each hour is adjusted to account for mid-block delay, delays at signalized and unsignalized intersections, the delay caused by incidents (nonrecurring delays) on the road network, and effects of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) and signal projects. After these adjustments, the total travel time, speed, and vehicle hours of travel (VHT) are updated for each link by hour for an average weekday. Step 6 - HPMS Reconciliation for Local Roads Road links in the NYBPM network include most of the major freeways and arterials, but not all the local roads. Therefore, the magnitude of traffic activities is under-represented in the NYBPM network Due to this fact, the local road factors (functional classes 6, 7, 8, 9, 17, and 19 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; see Table 1) from the HPMS are applied to account for the missing local roadway (street) links. These factors are applied after the speed post-processing is performed so that the increased link flow does not distort the adjusted speeds. Similar to the HPMS factors for freeways and arterial road types, the ratio for the local roads are also assumed to hold constant for future years. The table below shows the HPMS Reconciliation factors for the local roads for each county.

CALCULATING EMISSIONS OF POLLUTANTS The combination of traffic activity data and emission rate data produces a very large matrix. To make the process efficient, the PPS-AQ joins the “rate per vehicle” and “rate per profile” tables into one table since their units are grams per vehicle and the PPS-AQ

Section IV-15

multiplies it by the vehicle population to calculate emission for each temperature and hour for off-network conditions. Then the “rate per distance” is multiplied by the VMT for each speed bin and temperature to calculate emissions for on-road conditions. The combination of these two processes provides emission inventory for the study area.

Planning Assumptions Based on consultation with the NYSICG and as per 40 CFR § 93.110(a), all assumptions were locked in on February 22, 2018, when the conformity analysis began for the 2017-2021 TIP and 2017-2045 RTP, as amended. The regional analysis is based on the planning assumptions in place on this date. Federal and state regulations require that a conformity determination be based on the latest planning assumptions available at the time the regional analysis began. Specifically, information on five general areas must be provided: demographic data, transit operating policies, transit service levels, transportation control measures, and other key assumptions. The county-level 2050 Socio-Economic and Demographic (SED) forecasts for population and employment were adopted by the Program, Finance and Administrative Committee (PFAC) on March 12, 2015. These adopted county-level forecasts were then further disaggregated to 16 variables at the TAZ level to be used as inputs to the NYBPM. There are some differences between the latest, 2050 SED Forecast Series and the previous, 2040 SED Forecast Series, which was adopted on September 15, 2011. The primary differences are in the data used to produce the forecasts, which was impacted by the Great Recession (December 2007–June 2009), and methodological differences. Series 2050 predicts smaller employment growth since the recovery from the Great Recession is still ongoing, yielding a lower total employment forecast than Series 2040. The NYMTC SED forecasts are employment driven, the smaller growth in employment yields smaller growth in both Labor Force and Population which determines the supply of workers. Further details are provided in the SED forecast section below. The transit operating policies and the transit service changes are tracked on an ongoing basis and are updated every time a conformity determination is made. Any changes to the highway, tolls, or operations are reflected in the highway network.

SOCIO-ECONOMIC AND DEMOGRAPHIC FORECASTS In compliance with federal regulations, Metropolitan Planning Organizations must prepare and adopt long-range economic forecasts for their regions to be used in transportation and land use analyses. Employment, population, labor force and household forecast models were created for the NYBPM region. The following ten variables were forecasted using historical data, from 2010 to 2050, in 5-year intervals. The variables at the county level are: Population: Total Population, Household Population, Group Quarters Population

Section IV-16

Employment: Total Employment, Payroll Employment, Self-Employment Labor Force: Labor Force, Employed Labor Force Households: Total Households, Average Household Size Total Employment, Total Population, and Total Households forecasts for NYMTC counties are shown in Table 3 below. The county forecasts were further disaggregated to 16 variables at the (TAZ) level. NYMTC has incorporated major future land use developments in the region as a base for the TAZ disaggregation process. Information on these projects and their timelines were submitted by county representatives and are usually updated once a year. The threshold for major developments is a minimum of 50 residential units or 15,000 square feet for commercial developments. Population The Population Model is produced using a cohort-component (CC) model. The CC model divides the population into age and sex cohorts of 5-year intervals and uses historical birth and death rates to estimate the net change in population and net migration which yields the initial population projection. Adjustments are made to the initial population based on future land use, housing supply, and employment demand. The model yields a possible number of future trip makers in the region. United States Census data from 1990, 2000, and 2010 were used to supply the base population figures and for calculating historical rates of birth, death, and migration. The Population Model results for each county were adopted on March 12, 2015, as part of the 2050 SED. The county-level population figures were allocated to the TAZ level using US Census and American Community Survey (ACS) data, and residential development data.

Section IV-17

Employment The Employment Model is critical to the NYBPM because it generates the county level employment forecasts that yield a basis for generating work trips in the journey-to-work forecasting process. Three sources were employed to determine the employment levels for counties used by the NYBPM: IHS â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Global Insight, Moodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Analytics, and the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. These third-party forecasts use various econometric models to forecast employment based on labor market conditions, policies, trade and possible recession recovery scenarios. The Employment Model averages the third-party forecasts to form a base level of payroll employment and to determine the growth rate for each county over the forecast horizon. Adjustments to the initial forecasts were made based on the unemployment rate, in-commuting and out-commuting, multiple jobs holding rate, and journey to work patterns. Forecasts for self-employment were added to payroll employment levels to calculate total employment. Self-employment rates, the ratio of self-employment to wage and salary employment, for each industry and county, were held constant throughout the forecast. The Employment Model results for each county were adopted on March 12, 2015, as part of the 2050 SED. The county-level figures were allocated to the TAZ level using Census Transportation Planning Package (CTPP), Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW), ACS, commercial development data, and input from the member counties. Households The Household Model forecasts the average household size and the number of households for each county. The number of households is determined by dividing the household population by average household size. The average household size was held constant for all counties within New York City. For the remaining counties, the headship rate was used, based on age-specific headship rates from 1990, 2000, and 2010 Census data. A headship rate is a ratio of household-heads (self-identified classification by census respondents) to the corresponding household population. Headship rates were then used to forecast the projected number of households, given the projected age-distribution of the population. Household population divided by households yields the average household size.

TRANSPORTATION ANALYSIS ZONES The NYBPM TAZ system is the underlying spatial structure for the representation of the socio-economic and demographic characteristics of the planning area covered by the model, as well as the roadway and transit networks described above.

Section IV-18

For the 28-county modeling area, 4,629 zones were created based on land use and socioeconomic data collected in 2010. These zones were based on census tracts and varied from one tract per zone to several tracts per zone. Table 4 shows the NYBPM zone system and the household and employment densities for the 2010 NYBPM.

TRANSPORTATION ANALYSIS ZONE LEVEL FORECASTS The NYBPM requires sixteen socio-economic and demographic forecast variables which are a primary input to the model for travel demand forecasting. These are listed below. Residence-based variables are as follows: •

Total Population

•

Household Population

•

Group Quarters Population – Total

•

Group Quarters Population – In Institutions

•

Group Quarters Population – Homeless/Streets

•

Group Quarters Population – Other

•

Number of Households – Total

•

Average Household Size

•

Mean Household Income (held constant)

•

Employed Labor Force

Workplace-based variables are as follows: •

Employment – Total

•

Employment – Office

•

Employment – Retail

•

Mean Earnings per Worker (held constant)

School enrollment variables are as follows: •

K-12 Enrollment

•

University Enrollment

These variables are derived from the county level population, employment, household, and labor force forecasts developed by NYMTC working closing with county planners to incorporate their local knowledge of future development projects.

Section IV-25

Long-Range Plan Consistency The projects proposed in the 2017-2021 TIP are consistent with the goals and objectives of the NYMTC 2017-2045 RTP, as amended. The regional emissions analysis considers and evaluates all fiscally-constrained transportation improvement projects within the RTP horizon year that are “non-exempt” or regionally significant under the Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA) of 1990. The NYMTC RTP was adopted on June 29, 2017.

Interagency Consultation This transportation conformity determination has been developed in consultation with the NYSICG. NYSICG’s members include representatives from USEPA, Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Federal Transit Administration (FTA), NYSDEC and the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT). All air quality coding of projects in the 20172021 TIP and 2017-2045 RTP, as amended, were reviewed by the NYSICG throughout the winter of 2017. The NYSICG was also consulted to discuss analysis methodologies and review other compliance issues as needed.

Public Participation The NYMTC Public Participation Procedures require the TIP, RTP and related transportation conformity determinations to be publicly reviewed and adopted. NYMTC sought public comment on the draft conformity documentation through notification of interested parties and media outlets for the public comment period and public review meetings. A 30-day public comment period was held from May 2 through May 31, 2018, for the draft conformity determination. Also, public review meetings and webinars were held at NYMTC’s central office.

Transportation Control Measures Transportation Control Measures (TCMs) are strategies that are specifically identified and committed to in the SIP or listed in Section 108 of the CAAA. TCMs reduce mobile source emissions by reducing vehicle use or by improving vehicular traffic flow. Strategies or programs that reduce emissions by improving vehicle technologies, fuels, maintenance practices are not considered TCMs. Federal and state conformity regulations require all TIPs and RTPs to provide for the timely implementation of TCMs within a non-attainment area from the applicable SIP and to ensure that no project in the program or plan interferes with the implementation of any TCMs. There are no active TCMs in NYMTC’s RTP or TIP. All TCMs in the NYMTC Planning Area Boundary previously included in the SIP have been completed within or, in a few special cases, removed from the SIP. For example, on April 19, 2002, USEPA approved a request from the state of New York to remove several TCMs from the Carbon Monoxide (CO) SIP that were demonstrated to no longer be necessary. Therefore, the status of committed TCMs in the CO SIP contains a number of completed TCMs and several TCMs from the Downtown Brooklyn Master Plan that are no longer required.

Section IV-26

In addition, no project in the 2017-2021 TIP or 2017-2045 RTP, as amended, will interfere with the timely implementation of TCMs in other areas.

Projects Evaluated All projects programmed and planned in the fiscally-constrained NYMTC 2017-2021 TIP and 2017-2045 RTP, as amended, were reviewed for their air quality status. All projects, which were non-exempt or impact the NYMTC model networks, were included in the regional emission analysis per 40 CFR § 93.104 (c), and 6 NYCRR § 240-2. As part of its project evaluation for federal funding, NYMTC also reviews projects that are not funded by FHWA/FTA but submitted by NYMTC members as part of their overall transportation program and plans. All exempt project codes are based on 6 NYCRR § 240-2.8 (c), 40 CFR § 93.126 Table 2 and 40 CFR § 93.127 Table 3. The NYSICG reviewed and concurred with the air quality classifications during the winter of 2017 for all projects in the TIP and RTP. All projects have been further evaluated for the ability to be modeled for inclusion in the regional emissions analysis. Those evaluations have all been conducted in consultation with the NYSICG. The results of this evaluation are noted in Table 5 on the following pages.

Regionally Significant Projects As per 40 CFR § 93.101, regionally significant project means a transportation project (other than an exempt project) that is on a facility which serves regional transportation needs (such as access to and from the area outside of the region, major activity centers in the region, major planned developments such as access to and from the area outside of the region, major activity centers in the region, major planned developments such as new retail malls, sports complexes, etc., or transportation terminals as well as most terminals themselves) and would normally be included in the modeling of a metropolitan area’s transportation network, including at a minimum all principal arterial highways and all fixed guideway transit facilities that offer an alternative to regional highway travel. Although there are many major projects and new initiatives in the NYMTC area, there were no new regionally significant projects specified by the NYSICG for inclusion in this analysis.

Statement of Conformity The NYMTC 2017-2021 TIP and the 2017-2045 RTP, as amended, support and comply with the applicable NYS SIPs (Ozone and PM2.5) for the NYMTC Non-Attainment and Maintenance areas. The NYMTC 2017-2021 TIP and 2017-2045 RTP, as amended, conformity determination demonstrates the consistency of these programs with the intent of the Clean Air Act and the state and federal transportation conformity regulations. The conformity determination is made in accordance with the criteria and procedures of 40 CFR § 93.106 and 40 CFR § 93.109 - 93.119, and 6 NYCRR § 240-2 and 6 NYCRR § 240-3.1.

TABLE 5 Table 5 is a listing of transportation improvement projects from the fiscally-constrained TIP or RTP that have been included in the regional emissions analysis. The table has been broken into three sub-tables: Section IV-27

•

Table 5A – Non-Exempt and Regionally Significant Projects

•

Table 5B – Exempt Projects Used for Highway Network Operational Changes

•

Table 5C – Exempt Transit Projects Used for Operational Network Changes

Table 5A is a listing of projects that have been determined to be either non-exempt under the CAAA or to be regionally significant. The air quality status is initially made by NYMTC and concurred by the NYSICG. Table 5B is a listing of highway operational improvements determined to be exempt by NYMTC and the NYSICG but must be included in the regional emission analysis to reflect the changes in the highway network from the base network in each milestone year. Table 5C is a listing of transit operational improvements determined by NYMTC and the NYSICG to be included in the regional emission analysis to reflect the changes to the transit network from the base network in each milestone year. The 2017 base network includes all projects that were amended to the 2010 Base network that appear in Table 5.

Section IV- 40

Section V. Emissions Analysis by Pollutant Eight-hour Ozone Budget for New York Portion of the New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island, NY-NJ-CT Ozone Area The New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island, NY, NJ, CT Area, including the counties of Westchester, Suffolk, Rockland, Richmond, Queens, New York, Nassau, Kings, and Bronx was classified “moderate” non-attainment for the 0.08 parts per million (ppm) 1997 ozone NAAQS on June 15, 2004. The motor vehicle emission budget for the New York State portion of the 1997 ozone non-attainment area was found adequate by the USEPA on August 2, 2010. On July 20, 2012, the USEPA classified the same area as “marginal” non-attainment for the 0.075 parts per million (ppm) 2008 ozone standard. The 1997 ozone standard was officially revoked on July 20, 2013. As per the USEPA’s “Transportation Conformity Guidance for 2008 Ozone Non-Attainment Areas,” the NYMTC is required to demonstrate consistency with the existing motor vehicle emissions budgets for two ground-level ozone precursors: Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) and Nitrogen Oxides (NOx). On April 11, 2016, the USEPA determined that the New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island, NY-NJ-CT area failed to attain the 2008 ozone standard by the July 15, 2015 attainment date. Based on 2012-2014 air quality monitoring data, the area was reclassified to “moderate” nonattainment for the 2008 ozone standard. On November 10, 2017 the NYSDEC submitted a SIP revision for the New York portion of the New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island 8hour ozone nonattainment area. The SIP revision included summer day VOC and NOx motor vehicle emissions budgets associated with the SIP reasonable further progress (RFP) demonstration. The USEPA announced availability of the SIP revision and related emissions budgets on December 6, 2017, requesting comments by January 5, 2018. No comments were received in response to the USEPA’s adequacy review posting. Thus, it is anticipated that the new motor vehicle emissions budgets will be effective prior to the approval of the NYMTC transportation conformity determination. In addition, the USEPA revised the 8-hour primary and secondary National Ambient Air Quality Standards for ozone on October 1, 2015. The ozone NAAQS was lowered from 0.075 parts per million (ppm) to 0.070 ppm. Effective January 18, 2018, the USEPA issued final designations for the 2015 ozone standard for most areas in the United States. The USEPA has not yet issued the designation for the New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island, NY, NJ, CT area or Poughkeepsie, NY area (including Putnam County). It is expected that the New York-New Jersey-Long Island area will be designated nonattainment for the 2015 ozone standard and the Poughkeepsie area will be classified attainment. Any NYMTC conformity determination adopted after a nonattainment designation will need to Section V-1

demonstrate conformity to the ozone standard(s) that are applicable at the time of the determination. Until new emissions budgets for the New York portion of the New York-New Jersey-Long Island ozone nonattainment area are effective, the NYMTC will demonstrate conformity to all ozone standards by demonstrating consistency with the existing motor vehicle emissions budgets found adequate by the USEPA on August 2, 2010 (75 FR 45057) for the 1997 ozone standard. As per 40 CFR Part 93.109 and as a contingency to demonstrate conformity with all applicable ozone standards, the NYMTC will also demonstrate consistency with the motor vehicle emissions budgets associated with the reasonable further progress demonstration that the NYSDEC submitted to the USEPA on November 10, 2017. Analysis Years – Ozone precursors were forecast for 2020, 2025, 2035, 2040 and 2045 and analyzed for consistency with the Motor Vehicle Emission Budget (MVEB) for the 2008 8-hour ozone standard. These analysis years meet the requirements of the federal transportation conformity regulations as follows: •

Analysis year 2020 meets the requirement that the first analysis year is no more than five years from the year in which the conformity determination is completed. It is also the year of attainment if the area is reclassified as “serious” non-attainment for the 2008 Ozone NAAQS.

•

Analysis years 2025 and 2035 were analyzed to meet the requirement that consecutive analysis years be no more than ten years apart.

•

Analysis year 2040 is the horizon year of OCTC’s RTP

•

Analysis year 2045 is the horizon year of NYMTC’s RTP

*Note: Putnam County emissions are not included in the tables above. Putnam County was part of the Poughkeepsie Moderate Eight-hour Ozone Non-Attainment Area (PONA) for the 1997 NAAQS. As of July 20, 2013, this area no longer needs to demonstrate transportation conformity.

Section V-3

New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island, NY-NJ-CT CO Area On November 6, 1991, the counties of Westchester, Bronx, New York, Richmond, Kings, Queens, and Nassau were classified as moderate non-attainment under the eighthour CO standard. By 1999, air quality monitoring demonstrated the CO standard had been attained in this non-attainment area. However, before an area can be permanently designated as attainment, it must first be reclassified as a maintenance area. In a maintenance area designation, monitored air quality has attained the air quality standard, and the ambient standard must be maintained for at least ten years. On April 19, 2002, USEPA approved New York State’s proposed CO Maintenance Plan, including a CO emissions budget for the seven-county area. Monitored CO concentrations remained substantially below the NAAQS throughout the first ten-year maintenance period. On May 9, 2013, NYSDEC submitted a new ten-year Limited Maintenance Plan (LMP) for CO. The LMP demonstrated that CO budgets will no longer be constraining for transportation conformity because of the low level of CO emissions and expected growth rates during the LMP period. USEPA approved the CO LMP effective June 30, 2014. Thus, regional transportation conformity is presumed to be satisfied for CO with no need for a quantitative comparison of budgets for the second ten-year maintenance period.

New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island, NY-NJ-CT PM2.5 Area 1997 PM2.5 Standard: In July 1997, USEPA issued NAAQS for fine particulate matter (PM2.5), designed to protect the public from exposure at levels that may cause health problems. The 1997 standards included an annual standard set at 15 micrograms per cubic meter, based on the 3-year average of annual mean PM2.5 concentrations and a 24hour standard of 65 micrograms per cubic meter, based on the 3-year average of the 98th percentile of 24-hour concentrations. The New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island, NY-NJ-CT PM2.5 Area was classified non-attainment for the 1997 annual PM2.5 standard and was classified attainment for the 1997 24-hour PM2.5 standard. 2006 PM2.5 Standard: In September 2006, the USEPA revised the 1997 PM2.5 standards. The 2006 standards strengthened the 24-hour PM2.5 standard from 65 micrograms per cubic meter (µg/m3) to 35 µg/m3 and retained the current annual PM2.5 standard at 15 µg/m3. On December 14, 2009, the New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island, NYNJ-CT PM2.5 Area was classified non-attainment for the new 2006 24-hour PM2.5 standard. 2012 PM2.5 Standard: On March 13, 2013, the USEPA again revised the PM2.5 standards. The primary annual standard was lowered to 12 µg/m3, the secondary annual standard remained at 15 µg/m3, and the primary and secondary 24-hour standards remained at 35 µg/m3. Section V-4

Effective April 18, 2014, USEPA approved New York State’s request to redesignate the New York portion of the New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island, NY-NJ-CT PM2.5 Area to attainment for 1997 annual and 2006 24-hour PM2.5 Standard. As part of the redesignation to attainment, EPA also approved to the New York State air quality “Maintenance Plan” for PM2.5. The New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island, NY-NJ-CT PM2.5 Area is classified attainment for the 2012 PM2.5 NAAQS. However, the air quality maintenance plan for the 1997 and 2006 particulate matter standards is still in place. Thus, both OCTC and NYMTC remain subject to the transportation air quality conformity requirements for the 1997 and 2006 fine particulate matter standards. The New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island, NY-NJ-CT PM2.5 Area encompasses all or portions of nine metropolitan planning organizations or councils of government (COGs), as follows: Connecticut: Naugatuck Valley Council of Governments (NVCOG) Connecticut Metropolitan Council of Governments (CTMETROCOG) South Central Region Council of Governments (SCRCOG) Western Connecticut Council of Governments (WESTCOG) New Jersey/Pennsylvania: Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC) North Jersey Transportation Planning Authority (NJTPA) New York: New York Metropolitan Transportation Council (NYMTC) Orange County Transportation Council (OCTC) The MVEB for the New York State portion of the PM2.5 Maintenance Area includes Orange County and all NYMTC counties except Putnam. New York State determined that motor vehicle emissions budgets based on annual emissions of direct PM2.5 and NOx, a precursor, are appropriate for the 2006 24-hour standard because exceedances of the daily standard are not isolated to one season. Therefore, transportation conformity for both the 1997 annual and 2006 daily PM2.5 standards are demonstrated using the annual budget test for direct PM2.5 and NOx precursor. Accordingly, the combined OCTC and NYMTC emissions analyses demonstrate that emissions forecasts in each analysis year “action” scenario are not greater than emissions established by the MVEB for annual direct PM2.5 and NOx. Noted below are the analysis tables for NYMTC, and the combined OCTC/NYMTC tables. For details of the OCTC conformity process and procedures, see the OCTC PM2.5 conformity document in Appendix 3. Effective September 18, 2013, USEPA found the motor vehicle emissions budgets for PM2.5 and NOx in the submitted maintenance plan for the New York portion of the New Section V-5

York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island, NY–NJ–CT PM2.5 nonattainment areas to be adequate for transportation conformity purposes. USEPA officially approved the entire New York State PM2.5 Maintenance Plan, including the previously adequate motor vehicle emissions budgets, on April 18, 2014. These budgets have been used in this conformity and compliance is demonstrated in the tables below. Analysis Years - the years 2020, 2025, 2035, 2040 and 2045 were analyzed to demonstrate conformity for the PM2.5 standard. These analysis years meet the requirements of the federal transportation conformity regulation as follows: •

Analysis year 2020 meets the requirement that the first analysis year is no more than five years from the year that the conformity determination is made.

•

Analysis year 2025 is a maintenance plan milestone year and was also analyzed to meet the requirement that consecutive analysis years be no more than ten years apart.

•

Analysis year 2035 was analyzed to meet the requirement that consecutive analysis years be no more than ten years apart.

•

Analysis year 2040 is the horizon year for OCTC’s RTP.

•

Analysis year 2045 is the horizon year for NYMTC’s RTP.

APPENDIX 3 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; PUBLIC COMMENTS AND RESPONSES

Section VI-19

Public Comments Question 1 Toby Z. Liederman, Bronx, NY Yes, absolutely stick to no new violations to federal air quality standards....and of course don't violate the old ones either! I'd like to add that in future the council do better about getting messages like this out to the public if you really want/need our input! I think posting a paper on my library bulletin board is far from adequate if you do! I'm lucky I even looked! And I've not seen or heard a word about it until today...not in any grocery store, on any shop windows, on tv or radio, in local (Bronx times) newspapers, nada..... Response 1 Thank you for your comment. NYMTCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s planning area includes the lower Hudson Valley and suburban Long Island, as well as New York City. NYMTC relies on direct mail, emails and faxes and social media, and our website to share information on transportation planning activities. We are always seeking to expand and enhance our outreach by asking public institutions and community groups to forward our messages.
