Since one o f the m ajo r causes o f smog is emis sions from our vehicles, we can do our p a rt by ensuring we' re d riv in g clean! ONTARIO'S DRIVE CLEAN A new emission testing program Will your vehicle have to pass a drive clean test this year? - r Y ou've heard of "passing a safe ty" to make sure your vehicle is fit for the road. Starting in 1999 there's a new test your vehicle may have to pass every two years to make sure it is also fit for the air we breathe. It's called an emissions tesL and it's part of Ontario's Drive Clean program announced by Environment Minister Norm Sterling to help fight smog. "The Drive Clean program is a major step forward in achieving cleaner air in Ontario," said the minister. "Keeping our vehicles properly maintained will be good for the environment our health and even the vehicles themselves." Smog is a problem in many urban areas with a large number of motorized vehicles. It is linked to the rise of respira tory ailments, especially among children. Cars, trucks and buses are the sin gle largest source of smog- causing pollutants in Ontario. An emissions test cost ing a maximum of $30 will be required every two years to renew your vehicle licence plate or whenever you decide to change own ership, usually when the vehicle is sold. A pass means your vehicle meets the emissions standards for its make and model year. If your vehicle fails the test, you have to have the problem repaired and return for a retest But whether or not your vehicle is actually covered under the Drive Clean pro gram depends on where you live and the age of your vehicle. When renewing a vehicle registration, O N T A R I O ' S * an official mark of the Province of Ontario used under licence. the Drive Clean test only applies to vehicles that are more than three years old and less than 20. For an ownership transfer where a safety certificate is required, however, the test applies to all vehicles less than 20 years old. Starting in April 1999, the Drive Clean test is mandatory in the Greater Toronto Area and Hamilton-Wentworth Region. Then, in January 2001, Drive Clean expands to 13 other high smog urban zones in southern Ontario. You'll know for sure if any one of the vehicles you own has to be tested if you get a notice in the mail about 90 days before the licence plate renewal date (your birthday!) Since the test cycle alternates from year to year between odd and even model-year vehi cles, it will take four years for Drive Clean to become fully operational in all pro gram areas. By the end of 2003, some 4.5 million cars, sport utility vehicles, pickup trucks and vans will have gone through a Drive Clean facility at least once. As this is going on, the envi ronment ministiy's Smog Patrol will step up its on road enforcement of pulling over visible polluting vehi cles, especially heavy duty trucks. The Drive Clean program is administered by the Ministry of the Environment and will be closely monitored to ensure that it is both fair and effective. With full imple mentation, it will help cut smog-causing pol lutants from vehicles by up to 22 per cent in the program area In the end, we'll all bene fit from Ontario's Drive Clean program, because we'll be doing something positive for the air we breathe.
