Reductions in Emissions for Transportation Control Measures

TCMs (transportation control measures) achieve very modest emission reductions when compared to the cuts needed to reach federal standards -- excluding transportation pricing reform, which requires legislative authorization, they save only one or two tons of emissions per day, or about 0.5 percent of the total mobile source ROG inventory.
