TCAG helps to alleviate air quality issues by preventing and relieving congestion on our roadways, expanding public transit, and promoting active transportation such as walking or biking. TCAG also manages the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) Program, which funds projects that help reduce air quality emissions. Measure R, the county's self help transportation sales tax measure, also funds many projects that are beneficial to our air quality.
TCAG is responsible for travel demand modeling and regional air quality conformity demonstration in the Tulare County region, as part of the air quality requirements of the San Joaquin Valley Air Basin. This is required under federal law. Below is our latest air quality conformity document:
Final Conformity Analysis for the 2025 FTIP and 2022 RTP Amendment No. 1
Certain transportation projects require analysis of the air quality impact of a project at the project level. Similar to regional conformity, this is a federal requirement, and is also known as a Particulate Matter (PM) Hot-spot Assessment. The project sponsor of each individual project that is not categorically exempt from this process is responsible for demonstrating project-level conformity. Analysis and determinations are presented to the public and the San Joaquin Valley Interagency Consultation Group by the project sponsor, who will request concurrence on their findings. In May 2024, in order to make project-level conformity information more accessible, TCAG began posting information on individual projects as needed on this website for public notice and review.
See below for for information on specific project assessments:
Tulare County Association of Governments (TCAG), on behalf of the City of Woodlake, is providing the final documentation for PM2.5 and PM10 Hot-spot Conformity Assessment for Naranjo Boulevard and Mulberry Street Roundabout Project located in the City of Woodlake, Tulare County.
The project consists of constructing a single-lane, urban roundabout at Naranjo Blvd and Mulberry St. The draft conformity material was posted on TCAG’s website and was available for the public comment period from February 24 through March 03, 2025. No comments were received during this public comment period. Comments were received from EPA and were addressed at the interagency consultation (IAC) meeting held on March 05, 2025, at 1:30 pm (PT).
The NEPA document for this project is CE (23 USC 326), and Caltrans and EPA provided concurrence that the project is not of air quality concern (non-POAQC) on March 05, 2025.
The final documentation package consists of the (1) San Joaquin Valley PM hot-spot checklist, (2) slides presented at the IAC meeting, and (3) IAC meeting minutes.
