- Mission
- The Office of Transportation and Air Quality's (OTAQ) mission
is to reconcile the transportation sector with the environment by
advancing clean fuels and technology, and working to promote more
liveable communities. OTAQ is responsible for carrying out
laws to control air pollution from motor vehicles, engines, and
their fuels. Mobile sources include: cars and light trucks,
large trucks and buses, farm and construction equipment, lawn and
garden equipment, marine engines, aircraft, and locomotives.
Activities include: characterizing emissions from mobile
sources and related fuels; developing programs for their control,
including assessment of the status of control technology and
in-use vehicle emissions; carrying out a regulatory compliance
program, in coordination with the Office of Enforcement and
Compliance Assurance, to ensure adherence of mobile sources to
standards; fostering the development of State Motor Vehicle
Emissions Inspection and Maintenance Programs; and implementing
programs for the integration of clean-fueled vehicles into the
market. A diagram showing where OTAQ and its National Vehicle and
Fuel Emissions Laboratory fit into EPA is shown here.
