In 1986, Illinois began the vehicle inspection and maintenance (I/M) program in Northeastern Illinois and Metro-East St. Louis to reduce air pollution and help these regions meet federal air quality standards. The I/M program identifies vehicles that need repairs due to malfunctions or poor maintenance which contribute to high emissions rates. Such repairs not only reduce air pollution, they often improve vehicle performance and fuel economy as well. | | | | Date Created: | 10 09 2003 | | | | Agency ID: | | | | | ISL ID: | 000000041349 Original UID: 21197 FIRST WORD: Features | |
