Important Note About MOVES Versions

In general, states should use EPA’s latest model, MOVES3, to take advantage of the improvements that have been included in it.

Users should consult the Federal Register Notice of Availability for MOVES3 and the Policy Guidance on the Use of MOVES3 (both available on the MOVES3 latest version page) before doing any additional work with any version of MOVES2014. MOVES2010 should not be used for any regulatory purposes at this time.

Downloading MOVES2014b

Download MOVES2014b (EXE)(332 MB, January 2021) : After downloading the setup file, run MOVES2014b-Setup-20210112.exe and follow the on-screen instructions to complete MOVES2014b installation. The new installer replaces MySQL with MariaDB as the database server for MOVES2014b. MariaDB continues to support features that MOVES relies on, whereas the latest versions of MySQL removed these features. Using MariaDB resolves various problems that users have found with recent installations of MOVES2014b, including an error where some particulate matter (PM) emissions may be dropped with no error message, leading to low PM output from MOVES installed with MySQL 5.7.26 or later. For these reasons, it is critical to re-install MOVES2014b to eliminate this potential error.

    NOTE: This release includes May 2015 CB6 and CB05 chemical mechanisms that speciate inventory emissions for input into chemical transport air quality models.  However, we have found errors in this function. Modelers who will be using MOVES results as input to chemical transport air quality models should consult with EPA or use a later version of MOVES.
