MOVES Training

EPA has developed webinars and training courses to assist users with MOtor Vehicle Emission Simulator software and inputs. Live trainings and webinars are offered occasionally and announced via the MOVES listserv. Materials from those trainings are available here for independent study.

Current MOVES Training Materials:

• MOVES Hands-on Training Course. EPA’s MOVES Hands-on Training Course contains detailed information on how to use MOVES. This course will provide you with understanding of MOVES modeling capabilities and input data needs, how to decide on a modeling strategy, how to use MOVES to estimate both onroad and nonroad emissions, and how and when to apply relevant EPA guidance.
• Project-Level Training for Quantitative PM Hot-spot Analysis. EPA has developed a multi-day training course in accordance with EPA’s “Transportation Conformity Guidance for Quantitative Hot-spot Analyses in PM2.5 and PM10 Nonattainment and Maintenance Areas”. This technical, hands-on course is geared toward state and local agency staff and focuses on using emission models (including EPA's MOVES model) and EPA's air quality model (AERMOD) for quantitative PM hot-spot analyses. This course is based on a previous version of MOVES but is still largely applicable to the latest MOVES version. See link above for more detailed information on this course, as well as other webinars and presentations on this guidance.
