Environmental Measures <br /> <br />PM 9: Average Furl Economy (Miles per Gallon) <br />Th~s measure provides an estimate of fuel use under the three scenarios. The objective is to <br />increase fuel economy, Fuel economy is directly related to levels of congestion. Higher levels of <br />congestion result in more fuel use and lower fuel economy. The Financially Constrained <br />Z OhS.Plan s lower fuel economy is a result of increased congestmn over exmtmg condltmns. <br />HoweVers the fuel economy achieved by the Financially ConStrained Trans?lan (s bSgher than that <br />achieved under the trend condition~ <br /> <br />PM lO: Vehicle Emissions (Annual Tons of Carbon Monoxide) <br />Vehicle emissions is a measure of plan air quality impact. The Eugene-Springfield area is <br /> to meet National Ambient Ak Quali~ Standards for various pollutants. Of primary <br />concern to the transportation system are the standards for carbon monoxide. The region is <br />currently in compliance with the standards for this pollutant, The region will continue to be in <br />compliance with the carbon monoxide standard in the future. Vehicle fleet tumover and stricter <br />emission controls on newer vehicles are factors that contribute to lower emissions in future <br />scenarios. <br /> <br /> *20% <br /> <br /> Population <br /> <br /> Employment <br />Avg Fuel Efficiency (VMT/Gal0 <br /> <br /> CO Emissions (Weekday Tons) <br /> <br /> (% change from 1995) <br /> <br /> Percentage Change <br /> <br /> ~2~5% 4A44 ~ <br /> <br /> 0.7% <br /> q0.7% .4A}~lllllll <br /> <br />~15 Trends ffi 2015 Fin~cially Cons--min~ <br /> <br />34% <br />34% <br /> <br /> 43% <br /> 43% <br /> <br />TmnsPlan <br /> <br />Exhibit A - Page 56 <br />TransPlan Amendments <br /> <br />Chapter 4~ Page 11 <br /> <br /> <br />
