ATE Emission Reductions in Knoxville

• Calculating ATE Emission Reductions
• The emission factors for CO and VOC come from
  EPAs Mobile6 Emissions Model to estimate the
  emissions from idling trucks.
• NOX and PM factors are calculated based on 2004
  EPA Guidance.
• Diesel CO2 emission values are based on Argonne
  models.

Total Project NOX Cost-Effectiveness

• Median Cost-Effectiveness for all CMAQ Funded
  Projects is 66,300 per Metric Ton of NOX
• Knoxville ATE Project Current Run-Rate
  Cost-Effectiveness is3,600 per metric ton
  (based on emissions to-date and no growth in
  usage)
• Cost-Effectiveness Will Improve Over Time as
  Utilization Increases
