incorporates the most transit-oriented transportation infrastructure plan, while Concept A incorporates the most
roads-oriented plan, with Concept C in an intermediate position. 7
The concepts were evaluated on a number of factors, including air quality. As a result of federal, state, and
local emissions control policies, estimates of CO and VOC emissions for all scenarios were below the 1990 levels
(see table 2). However NO x estimates for all four scenarios are higher than the 1990 levels. The least dispersed
scenarios (concepts B and C) had the best estimated performance. A summary of the results of this analysis was
distributed to every household in the Metro Region. It is now up to Metro Council to decide which of the three concepts
(or what combination of elements of the three) to adopt as its long-range growth plan.
