The study determined that ozone levels in some major US cities are increasing by that amount, due in part to climate change. Ground-level ozone is mostly produced when ultraviolet light reacts with pollutants from fossil fuels. The annual averages of ozone levels in study areas were between about 10 and 25 ppb.

Transportation sector emission sources include combustion of fuels utilized in-state that are used by on-road and off-road vehicles, aviation, rail, and water-borne vehicles, as well as a few other smaller sources. The transportation sector remains the largest source of GHG emissions in the state, and saw a 1% increase in emissions in 2017.
