CKNW has learned the provincial government will phase out emissions testing of cars and light trucks in the Aircare program.
Environment Minister Terry Lake will make an announcement in Burnaby this afternoon on the future of the 20-year-old agency.
Sources say the focus will be shifted to heavier vehicles like semi’s and R-V’s, but it’s not clear yet whether Aircare itself will survive the change.
The agency employs about 140 people and claims it has helped reduce vehicle emissions in metro vancouver by 33 per-cent since 1992.
