c. Future transportation patterns and their impact on air quality in a manner that is consistent with the most current adopted Long Range Transportation Plan and most current trend and projections of local motor vehicle emissions. 3. If the review of emissions growth in conjunction with the continuing planning process demonstrates that adopted emission reduction strategies are inadequate to address growth in emissions, additional measures will be added to the CAAP. 4. In the event that the continuing planning process identifies the need to add, delete, or substitute emission reduction strategies after the CAAP has been incorporated into the SIP, the local area will initiate, and TCEQ will facilitate a SIP revision to accommodate changes. F. Public Involvement 1. Public involvement will be conducted in all stages of planning by the signatory parties, with assistance from one or more of the following: The CLEAN AIR Force of Central Texas, CAPCO, Greater Austin Chamber of Commerce, or other appropriate party. Outreach may include one or more of the following techniques: public meetings and presentations, stakeholder meetings, websites, print advertising and radio. 2. Public education programs will be used to raise awareness regarding issues, opportunities for involvement in the planning process, implementation of emission reduction strategies, and any other issues important to the area. 3. Interested stakeholders will be involved in the planning process as early as possible. Planning meetings will be open to the public, with posted meeting times and locations. CAAP drafts will be publicly available, and the drafting process will have sufficient opportunities for comment from all interested stakeholders. 4. Public comment on the proposed final CAAP will follow the normal SIP revision process as implemented by the State. 5. Semi-annual reports detailing, at a minimum, progress toward milestones, will be publicly presented and publicly available. III. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality The state, represented by TCEQ, will provide support to areas throughout the planning and implementation process, including: 1. Technical assistance in the development of emission inventories, modeling process, trend analysis and quantification and comparison of emission reduction strategies; 2. Necessary information on all Federal and State adopted emission reduction strategies which affect the area; 3. Critical third party review of emissions inventory, modeling, and self-evaluation work; 5
