Solving the air pollution problems caused by transportation, particularly from highways, has been a focus of policy makers for decades. Research and experience have improved understanding and control of transportation-related air pollution, but new challenges are arising--such as tightened standards for ozone and emissions of particulate matter, as well as efforts to mitigate and adapt to climate change.
