The requirement that state or metropolitan transportation plans, programs, and projects be consistent with the State Implementation Plan A conformity finding by the Environmental Protection Agency is required as part of the federal review of Transportation Plans and Transportation Improvement Programs
Process to assess the compliance of any transportation plan, program or project with air quality control plans The conformity process is defined by the Clean Air Act Federal Highway funds are tied to the region's conformity determination
The agreement of transportation plans and programs with the assumptions and commitments designed to attain federal and state air quality standards As it refers to the State Implementation Plan for Air Quality, it means conformity to the plans? purpose of eliminating or reducing the severity and number of violations of the national ambient air quality and standards, in the frequency or severity of an existing violation, or delay in timely attainment of any standard or interim milestone Further, transportation plans and programs can be found to conform only if (1) emissions resulting from such plans and programs are consistent with emissions projections and reductions assigned to those transportation plans and programs in the State Implementation Plan, and (2) the plans and programs provide for timely implementation of the State Implementation Plan's Transportation Control Measures
A process in which transportation plans and spending programs are reviewed to ensure that they are consistent with federal clean air requirements Transportation projects collectively must not worsen air quality Air quality conformity analysis determines if certain transportation plans or programs conform to federal air quality goals, namely that forecasts of vehicular emissions resulting from the transportation plan or program stay within acceptable levels These acceptable levels of future pollution are determined by the State Implementation Plan for air quality This analysis is required by federal law
Conformity is a process mandated in the federal Clean Air Act to insure that federal actions do not impede attainment of the federal health standards General conformity sets out a process that requires federal agencies to demonstrate that their actions are air quality neutral or beneficial Transportation conformity sets out a process that requires transportation projects that receive federal funding, approvals or permits to demonstrate that their actions are air quality neutral or beneficial

The ongoing federal process that ensures the planning for highway and transit systems, as a whole and over the long term, is consistent with the state air quality plans for attaining and maintaining health-based air quality standards; conformity is determined by metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) and the U S Department of Transportation (U S DOT), and is based on whether transportation plans and programs meet the provisions of a State Implementation Plan
