In 1992, the Province of British Columbia implemented AirCare ? a motor vehicle
inspection/maintenance (I/M) program which requires vehicles to undergo emission tests;
vehicles identified as high emitters must be repaired. When AirCare began it used the
latest technology for performing emission tests on motor vehicles and it adopted the most
stringent test criteria used at that time in North America. In 1994, a Steering Committee,
which included British Columbia Ministry of Lands, Environment and Parks (MELP),
Insurance Corporation British Columbia (ICBC), Greater Vancouver Regional District
(GVRD), and Environment Canada, led an evaluation of AirCare which identified several
improvements. In 1999, the Steering Committee (which now also includes the Fraser
Valley Regional District and Translink) proposed a set of improvements to AirCare
creating what is known as AirCare II. The goal of AirCare II is to provide the most cost
effective I/M program for the next decade. The GVRD and the Translink1 Boards
approved the recommended design of AirCare II. To confirm this approach meets
provincial goals, the Air Resources Branch of MELP contracted de la Torre Klausmeier
Consulting (dKC) to provide an independent assessment of AirCare II, and to review
previous evaluations of the original AirCare program.
