Transportation Conformity public comment period open through Jan 12

The MPO invites input on its 2021 Transportation Conformity Determination during a 30-day public comment period now through January 12th. If you missed our online public meeting held yesterday, January 5, you can watch a recording of the presentation here.

Transportation planners and air quality professionals conduct a transportation conformity analysis to estimate the effects of transportation projects and plans on air quality. The transportation conformity process is required of all MPOs within nonattainment areas – regions that the United States Environmental Protection Agency has determined do not meet a healthy level of air quality.

Official comments are accepted:
1. Verbally as a Citizen to be Heard during conformity public meeting or written on a comment card
2. Online at www.alamoareampo.org/airquality/conformity
3. By email to Allison Blazosky: blazosky@alamoareampo.org
4. By mail to the Alamo Area MPO: 825 South Saint Mary’s
Street, San Antonio, TX 78205

Social media is not an official form of comment for this process.
