Description
ANOTHER STATE could be one step closer to ending emissions inspections!
The U.S. EPA has officially redesignated the Cleveland, Ohio area as being in attainment for the 2015 ozone standard. That means the area now meets the federal air quality requirements that originally required emissions testing.
So... does this mean Ohio could eliminate smog checks?
In this video, I break down what the EPA's redesignation actually means, why it matters, and how Ohio could now ask the EPA to remove its vehicle emissions inspection program for affected counties.
This isn't the end of Ohio's emissions inspections just yet—but it could be a major step in that direction.
Could Ohio be the next state to end mandatory smog checks? Let's dive into it.
