Testing is good for the air we breathe. When O ntario 's Drive Clean emission testing program begins early in 1999, it will lead to significant reductions in smog-causing pollutants. The program w ill require cars and light-duty trucks in the Greater Toronto Area and the Regional Municipality of Hamilton- W entw orth to pass a clean air test every tw o years'. The simple test will take about 20 minutes at an accredited Drive Clean facility, and cost no more than $30\ Once you've passed, your car will feel good because it's running right, and you'll feel good because it 's fo r the air we breathe. How does the test work? The test itself is easy. Your vehicle will be parked on a dynamometer - a kind of treadmill that allows it to be " driven" on the spot while a probe in the tailpipe analyzes the exhaust and sends the results to a computer. Your vehicle's test results will be compared to the emission standards for its make, model and year, and a report showing a " pass o r fail" will be issued. It is estimated that 80-85% will pass the test. What happens after the test? If you " pass", that's it. Just have the " pass" report with you when you renew your licence plate sticker at a Ministry of Transportation Driver and Vehicle Licence Office o r self- service kiosk. If the vehicle "fails" it must now be repaired and retested. A simple tune- up will often suffice. Your vehicle must pass the test before the registration can be renewed, o r when it is re-sold. You can get a one-time only " conditional pass" by showing that at least $200 worth of relevant repairs have been done' . Who will be tested? Drive Clean affects cars and light- duty3 trucks that are more than 3 years and less than 20 years old. If your car is to be tested, you will receive a notice about 90 days before your vehicle registration renewal date. Vehicles with even-number model years, whose licence renewal comes on April I o r after, will go first in 1999. Odd-number model years will follow in 2000. Drive Clean really work? The Drive Clean program is administered by the M inistry of the Environment and w ill be closely monitored to ensure that it is both fair and effective. W ith full implementation, it will help cut smog- causing pollutants from vehicles by up to 22 per cent in the program area. In the end, we'll all benefit from O ntario 's Drive Clean program, because we'll be doing something positive fo r the air we breathe.
