Why do we need a web site?

• Too many islands of information of various
  quality
• No single web site (yet) that brings together
  information on mobile sources of air pollution in
  Asia
• No commonly accepted structure, making
  information difficult to find

3
Objectives of the web site

• Primary source of information on air pollution
  from mobile sources in Asia
• Database of policies, standards and actions
  (repository and portal)
• Vehicle and fuel information
• Strategies for reducing vehicle emissions

Integration with CAI-Asia
