WELCOME FROM THE A&WMA PRESIDENT Welcome to the A&WMA Annual Conference & Exhibition in Hartford! I’m excited you chose to join us for our Association’s largest annual event. The Annual Conference & Exhibition (ACE) is our chance to (re)connect with colleagues, learn from topical experts, and see the latest technology in the Exhibition Hall. You can also take a deep dive into transportation issues at the Critical Review or attend a networking event to meet new colleagues. If you’re looking for the hot spot for dinner or drinks, track down a local host committee member, A&WMA Board or Council leader, and ask what is happening that night. The ACE is large and busy but we want everyone to feel like they are connected and fully engaged. Our Association’s Core Purpose is to improve environmental knowledge and decisions by providing a neutral forum for exchanging information. You are at ground zero for the effort this week. Take the opportunity to listen with other members and attendees from different geographies, organizations, and specialties. Start a conversation on a critical issue and see where we agree and where we need to work for compromise and win-win Chris Nelson solutions. Close a business deal or learn about an innovative technology or make a new 2018 A&WMA President friend. At the end of the week, if you have any great stories from Hartford (or any past ACE events!), please send them to me. I always love a good A&WMA anecdote. Thanks for attending the Hartford ACE and for your contributions to A&WMA. Welcome from the Conference Chairs It’s been 43 years since the Annual Conference & Exhibition was held in New England so we are especially glad to welcome you. We expect that you will have a wonderful time here because there are so many things to do and see in the area. We hope that you have planned that special New England vacation that you dreamed of around the conference. Please enjoy our Science Center which is directly across from the Connecticut Convention Center. Enjoy all the tastes of Hartford that are within easy walking distance or catch the Dash bus to get around easily. Don’t forget the Hartford Yardgoats baseball team which will be playing nearby all four nights of the conference. We know you will have an exceptional knowledge experience at the conference this year with the EPA Assistant Administrators in the plenary session, the New England Commissioners and Air Directors in two of our panels, plus sessions, courses, the exhibit, and so many other opportunities to learn, share and grow this week. We hope to see you and say hello in person. Gale F. Hoffnagle, Lee D. Hoffman, Esq. Mark R. Sussman, Esq.

He has pioneered the measurement and modeling of onroad and nonroad vehicle activity, By 1970, onroad vehicles were major contributors to national emissions of energy use, and emissions based on 1-Hz field measurements using three pollutants, comprising 35 percent of nitrogen oxides (NOx), 68 percent portable emission measurement systems (PEMS). Since 1999, Dr. Frey of carbon monoxide (CO), and 42 percent of volatile organic compounds has measured vehicle activity, energy use, and emissions using PEMS, (VOCs). Total U.S. emissions from onroad vehicles in 1970 was 7.4 million amassing data for over 250 vehicles. tons of NOx, 88 million tons of CO, and 13 million tons of VOCs.
