What types of transportation projects will be affected by a lapse?

A lapse will affect any transit or highway project that is not an “exempt” project as defined in EPA’s transportation conformity regulations, or is not an adopted Transportation Control Measure (TCM) in the federal air quality plan to reduce motor vehicle emissions. There are 28 Transportation Control Measures in the current federal air quality plan and most all of these have been completed. While some transportation projects may appear to be similar to one of the TCMs, if they were not identified or anticipated in the original definition and specification of the TCM, they will be delayed.
