The crews are equipped with appropriate measuring instruments, and staff undergo periodic retraining. Department employees now have the capacity to inspect more vehicles at a greater number of locations. As a result, monitoring has become more extensive and effective - In the first four months of the current year, the Department’s employees identified 2,891 cases of non-compliance with established vehicle emission standards.
