I am disappointed that you are canceling this program. Since it began I find that there are a lot fewer vehicles giving off the offensive smell of un burnt gas (the dodge caravan seemed to be a particular culprit). Now we will be back to smelling these vehicles once more. Read more

As a resident of Ontario, I was extremely pleased to hear Premier Ford’s announcement September 28th to end light duty emissions testing. The owner of a 1990 truck in pristine condition, I was directly impacted on a biennial basis, a process that was both costly and time consuming. Read more

Thank you for this opportunity to provide input. We support redirecting Drive Clean towards increased focus on monitoring truck emissions, so long as an effective policy with properly funded supporting programing is designed and implemented. This process can’t be rushed. Read more
