H72 Task A: Texas Emission Reduction Plan (TERP) Program Analysis
The TERP program was analyzed in previous TERC projects for the following: program progress toward SIP goals, TERP technologies, emissions impacts, costs and costs effectiveness, and program features. The study areas are the HGB and DFW regions. Project H72AB is updating this analysis and projecting emission reduction effects and cost effectiveness to 2009 and 2012. The study specifically addresses the projected emission and ozone effects of new engine standards (preliminary DFW analysis complete and HGB analysis underway), and TERP’s potential effect on future locomotives and commercial marine vessels projects (per request from TCEQ).
Task H72B: Low Income Repair Assistance Program (LIRAP)
The LIRAP provides limited relief for low-income vehicle owners in the repair of vehicles failing the I&M test, and/or purchase assistance for qualified replacement vehicles. LIRARP applies in counties that implement a vehicle inspection and maintenance (I/M) program and have elected to implement LIRAP provisions. This study is quantifying emission reduction accomplishments, cost-effectiveness, the methods for inclusion of LIRAP in modeling and SIP credits, and projections to 2009 and 2012 for the HGB and DFW regions. The study will identify ways in which the program can be improved to increase its effects and improve cost effectiveness. Options for related measures that could affect high emitters and/or older vehicles will be reviewed and incorporated in project findings.
