          AirCare

          AirCare was an initiative started in 1992 to improve air quality in British Columbia, Canada through the systematic testing of road vehicles in order to reduce their emissions.

          Light-duty vehicles were suggested to be the biggest contributors to air pollutants that form smog and a small percentage of vehicles were contributing a large percentage of the pollutants.[1] AirCare ran for 22 years and was cancelled on December 31, 2014.

          AirCare was cancelled due to the fact that new vehicles were continuously becoming more eco-friendly, and the percentage of old cars on the road was decreasing.

          Wednesday will mark the end of the 22-year-old AirCare program in Metro Vancouver.

          History

          [edit]

          The AirCare emissions program was started in order to reduce carbon emissions by vehicles. Many car models had to pass yearly or biyearly AirCare inspections.[2] The aim was to prevent old cars with high emissions from driving on the road without necessary repairs, thus protecting the air quality and lowering British Columbia's carbon footprint.

          AirCare was not considered a for-profit program, and charged just enough to cover its costs.[3
