I support The drive clean program, as I believe it keeps older polluting passenger vehicles off the road. Although it does take additional time out of my day to get this certification, it is a small price to pay to ensure other motorist are keeping up with proper maintenance of their vehicles.

Please keep the Drive Clean test for light and heavy duty vehicles. It encourages people to drive more fuel efficient/electric vehicles, helping to protect the environment. The fact that fail scores have decreased only shows the program’s effectiveness. Thanks.

Why not immediately? What is this winding down? The public has not paid for this for awhile and when that happened it was immediately. You are wasting taxpayers money by waiting until April 2019. Sending me a form email to my original email makes me see you are evading my original question. Read more

In general, this makes sense. However, what if a light duty vehicle is old and is polluting alot. That is a problem. That problem must be addressed so we reduce rather than increase the fossil fuels going into the air we breathe.

I am concerned with the idea of repealing drive clean for light vehicles. I do not want to make driving inaccessible/too expensive but a single poorly tuned car can and does cause terrible air pollution that impacts the health of everyone around. Read more

While I am supportive of winding down programs that have met their objectives, I would urge the Government of Ontario, in winding down the Drive Clean program, to also consider and adopt other more expansive programs to continue to tackle the significant issue of greenhouse gas emissions from transp Read more

I am disappointed that the Ontario Drive Clean Program is being cancelled. Number one, I supported Ontario in their efforts to ensure a cleaner environment to ensure vehicles were held to a higher emissions standard. Read more

So your idea of being environmentally conscious is focusing on the small percentage of heavy duty vehicles as opposed to the light duty? Why keep the current standards on light duty and increase them on heavy duty? That seems more logical

A step in the wrong direction. In addition to ensuring that the millions of cars on Ontario roads are meeting emissions standards and not harming the environment, it sends the right message to all Ontario residents that we're all part of protecting the environment. Read more

The consensus from the general public is that the program has run its course and is no longer needed. Having worked with the Drive clean program since its inception, I know that is not true. The program has changed and evolved but many of the issues still have not been addressed. Read more

In the comments of the winding down of light duty vehicle emission testing it is mentioned that cars tested that fail have dropped from 16 % in 1999 down to 5% in 2017...... This i believe is very cleverly worded, but i believe very incorrect as the numbers should not be nearly this low, ... Read more

The Drive Clean Test should not be cancelled for Light duty vehicles because it is for the consumers' protection on resale cars. If a car has an error code it can be cleared by the seller (or mechanic) and the buyer would not know there is a problem. Read more

When DriveClean used the dynamometer/tailpipe system for testing, vehicle owners rarely knew before the test whether their vehicle would pass or not. Statistics regarding pass/fail results held some weight with this testing procedure. Read more
