Because the primary source of air pollution, other than transport from other areas, is vehicle emissions, the Air Quality Element will include or reference Circulation Element policies aimed at reducing traffic, including Transportation Systems Management (TSM) treasures. Analysis to be performed for the Envi- ronmental Assessment for the General Plan, including Caline 4 and URBF,'bllS 2 computer program analyses of air pollution produced be- cause of vehicle emissions, will provide the background for developing air quality maintenance programs, Completion: End of month 20 Productr, Colored Display Map of Draft General Plan.
