ontario eyes remote drive clean testing

Drivers in Ontario will soon be able to test their vehicle emissions remotely.
The provincial budget last year canceled $30.
Every two years, a malicious driving cleaning plan for emissions testing of cars and light vehicles
Trucks over the age of seven, but critics have called for a complete cancellation of the plan.
The free government of Ontario is now proposing a pilot project to allow access to on-
Plate diagnosis.
Environment Department spokesman Gary Wheeler said in a statement: \"The goal of the pilot is to improve the convenience of customers and provide more options to the public in terms of vehicle emission reduction . \".
Drive cleaning test providers can remotely collect emission data using inserted devices
And stay-a vehicle’s on-
Board Diagnostic port.
Wheeler said the information collected will be sent electronically to the province when the vehicle is about to be tested.
The government says the data collected is only used for emissions test assessments, fraud prevention and the provision of emissions test results.
Participating owners can obtain the device by accessing the test center.
Test providers can also distribute devices by mail or in collaboration with retail locations.
Testers can also use handheld emission testing equipment on site, Wheeler said.
Michael Harris, a Progressive Conservative traffic critic, said it seemed \"less convenient at the end of the day \".
\"Clean driving has exceeded its service life and should be completely abandoned,\" he said . \".
But the government still believes it provides valuable services.
\"Clean driving significantly helps reduce emissions that cause poor air quality, reducing vehicle emissions by about 1-
\"Third, it will eventually help clean the air,\" Wheeler said . \".
However, Harris said he was \"skeptical\" whenever the free government introduced new software programs \".
In recent years, the province has launched digital systems such as social assistance management systems, e-health, court information management systems and child protection information networks that are either delayed for a long time or are out of budget or need to be completely scrapped.
Drive Clean has accumulated more than onemillion-
Although this should be an income neutral program, there is still a surplus in the dollar.
The former Auditor General of Ontario warned on 2012 that this could put the province into legitimate hot water, as it was a usage fee, not a tax.
The government says the cancellation of driving cleaning costs the province $60 million a year.
For pilot projects that are expected to start for a period of time and run for one year in the fall, the government will pay certified remote testers every $10 passed, according to the minutes of the conference call obtained by The Canadian media.
But Wheeler is not able to estimate the cost of the pilot operation, as the department is not yet aware of how much interest there will be.
