Mobile Sources Forum: About

The Mobile Sources Forum (MSF) investigates and recommends mobile source emission control measures. Mobile sources includes both on-road sources (e.g., cars, trucks, buses, and motorcycles) and off-road sources (e.g., aircraft and its support equipment, locomotives, commercial marine and pleasure craft, and equipment used for construction, logging, mining, agriculture, and lawn and garden care). Since emission standards for new on-road and off-road sources can only be set by the U.S. EPA (on-road standards can also be set by California), the MSF focuses more on the impact and treatment of existing sources, especially off-road sources. The MSF also participates in technical activities related to mobile sources. During its first couple of years (2000-02), the MSF led the development of a WRAP-wide mobile source emission inventory and worked with the Air Quality Modeling Forum to define and analyze the significance of mobile sources with respect to the requirements of §309 of the regional haze rule.
