Back to Top Q: Who is required to have their vehicle emissions tested?Ī: All residents of the greater Phoenix and Tucson areas and those who regularly commute into the areas for work or school are required to have their 1967 or newer vehicles pass an emissions test. The Emissions Program will help provide a healthy future and a strong economy for Arizona and for our families. In Tucson, the program is key to maintaining a healthy and attractive environment for Southern Arizona.

In Phoenix, the program is an important component of reducing volatile organic compounds and maintaining air quality. Back to Top Q: Why does my vehicle need to be tested?Ī: Automobiles are a major contributor to ground level air pollution.
