In order to comply with air quality regulations, California has adopted a multi-faceted program controlling automobile emissions. Measures adopted to promote cleaner air include stringent controls on new automobiles; inspection and maintenance of older automobiles; efforts to induce shifts from private automobile commuting to carpooling, vanpooling, and public transport; and, in the near future, the production of electric vehicles.

The Central Arterial is one of the last and largest projects to be carried out as part of the National Interstate Program. The major and most critical link in Boston's arterial system, the Central Artery-an old elevated highway, had fallen into disrepair and had to be replaced. It could be replaced, as is, a new arterial, at great disruption to city transportation and economics, or rebuilt as a new, higher capacity and more expensive tunnel facility.
