Environmental Protection Agency
Company Overview
The mission of the EPA's Office of Transportation and Air Quality (OTAQ) is to protect human health and the environment by reducing air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions from mobile sources and the fuels that power them, advancing clean fuels and technology, and encouraging business practices and travel choices that minimize emissions. Our programs address emissions from the range of mobile sources including cars, light trucks, large trucks and buses, farm and construction equipment, marine engines, aircraft, locomotives, and, lawn and garden equipment. OTAQ's activities include:
- Assessing mobile source-related air quality problems and developing sophisticated modeling tools to develop solutions, measure results, and support emission inventories.
- Establishing national standards to reduce emissions from on-road and non-road mobile sources of pollution.
- Implementing national mobile source standards through certification processes and in-use monitoring strategies.
- Developing fuel efficiency programs and technologies to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases from the transportation sector.
- Researching, evaluating, and developing advanced technologies for controlling emissions, as well as developing new strategies for improving fuel efficiency.
