  SMOKING VEHICLE PROGRAM

 

How often have you been caught in traffic behind a car, truck, or bus that is emitting smoke?
You smell the fumes, roll up your window, close the vents, and look for your first chance to pass.
It makes you angry.

Not surprisingly, a large percentage of the air pollution in Texas
comes from the more than 16 million motor vehicles registered in the state.
Each vehicle has the potential to be a source of air pollution.
However, poorly-maintained vehicles are the biggest contributors to the pollution problem.

You can help the TCEQ get the word to owners of smoking vehicles in Texas.
The next time you see a car, truck, or bus anywhere in Texas
with dirty smoke coming from its exhaust for more than 10 consecutive seconds,
write down the license number, date, time, and location you saw the smoking vehicle.

Report the smoking vehicle, within 30 days, by submitting the online reporting form in English, in Spanish
or calling 1-800-453-SMOG (7664). You do not have to give your name, and the report is free.

The TCEQ will then notify the owner that his or her vehicle
may be contributing to air pollution by smoking excessively.
The TCEQ will also provide the owner with information
about how car maintenance will improve the vehicle's performance.
