Vehicle Emissions Testing to stop
Practical car information to share ...
Washington State (where I live) will not be requiring vehicle emissions testing after December, 2019.
The key rationale from the announcement from the Washington State Department of Ecology:
"After 38 years, Washington’s emission check program will end Jan. 1, 2020. After this time, vehicle owners will no longer be required to have their vehicle’s emissions tested before renewing their registration.
...
Air quality in Washington is much cleaner than when the program began in 1982, and every community in our state currently meets all federal air quality standards. The combination of the testing program, advances in vehicle technology, and improved motor fuels have led to significant reductions in transportation-related air pollution..."
The last sentence suggests conditions that should be active in all states: hybrids, ethanol blend gas, electric vehicles, fuel injection, catalytic converters, new car fuel efficiency standards - these are everywhere, not just in Washington State.
Are there any other states that are going this way?
