Therefore, the VMT would be greatly reduced. The reduction of VMT asa result of using train or bus to commute instead of driving was estimated for year 2010 and 2030.The annual reductions of VMT for 2010 and 2030 are 31.56 million and 60.54 million miles,respectively. The reduced VMT were multiplied by emission factors as derived from EMFAC2002model to calculate the reduction of emissions in tons per year. Table 8-25 presents the results ofemission rate reductions.Table 8-25Emissions Reduction (Credit) from Commuter VehiclesYear 2010VOC CO NO X PM 10 SO XEmission factor (grams/mile) 0.132 3.330 0.457 0.010 0.003Total annual emission reduction (tons/year) due to VMT reduction of 4.59 115.86 15.90 0.35 0.1031,562,557 milesYear 2030Emission factor (grams/mile) 0.073 2.108 0.283 0.010 0.003Total annual emission reduction (tons/year) due to VMT reduction of 4.87 140.68 18.89 0.67 0.2060,542,349 milesTotal Operational Net Increase of Project EmissionsThe total operational net increase of the Caltrain Extension or Express Bus alternative emissions arecalculated by adding the train/express bus operational emissions to the home to station commuteremissions and then subtracting the commuter emissions credit as a result of commuters taking thetrain or express bus instead of driving to work. Tables 8-26 and 8-27 present the calculated resultswhich show the operational total net increase (decrease) of air pollutants.parsons CHAPTER 8: EVALUATION OF ALTERNATIVES 193

Emission factors were derived from running thelatest EMFAC2002 model version 2.2 for the North Central Coast Air Basin. These rates were appliedto the total journey, which includes the San Francisco Bay Air Basin, as a simplifying assumption. Forthe passenger rail, express bus and auto modes, 2010 emission rates were applied to the 2010 operatingscenario. For the 2030 operating scenario, 2014 emission rates were applied for the passengerrail and auto modes; while 2010 rates, reflecting a 5 mph overall speed reduction, were applied to theexpress bus mode. Thus, motor vehicle emissions for the 2030 scenario are overstated.Monetary values for the motor vehicle emissions were obtained from the Cal-B/C model as updated in2004. These health costs are listed in Table 8-28 and have been updated from 2003 to 2006 usingthe GDP deflator (1.0412).parsons CHAPTER 8: EVALUATION OF ALTERNATIVES 194
