Previously, he served as manager ofthe Mobile Sources Program for the Air Pollution Con- tro! Division ofthe Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. His responsibilities included the operation of a metrowide inspection and main- tenance program, consisting of approximately ~ . ~ million inspections per year for gasoline and diesel vehicles. In addition, he was an assistant professor at Colorado State University, where he assisted in the formation ofthe National Center for Vehicle Emissions Control and Safety. Dr. Gallagher received his B. S. from Northern TIlinois University, his M.E. from Colorado State Univer- sity, and his Ph.D. from the University of Colorado. Deborah Gordon is a transportation consultant. Previously, she was the director of the Project on Transportation and the Environment at the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies in the university's Center for Transportation and the Environment, which provides technical and policy ex- pertise on transportation policy to corporations, state agencies, nonprofit orga- nizations, end the news media. She also served as the director oftransporta- tion and energy programs with the Union of Concerned Scientists, where she developed transportation policies such as the clean-car incentive program. She earned a B . S . in chemical engineering from the University of Colorado and an M.P.P. from the University of California at Berkeley. Robert A. Harley is an associate professor in the Civil and Environmental Engineenug Department ofthe University of California at Berkeley. He stud- ies the sources, atmospheric transport, and photochemical reactions associated

Appendix A 231 with air pollution with a special interest in the role of mobile sources (especially gasoline- and diesel-powered vehicles) in these issues. Dr. Harley directs research on air quality modeling, motor vehicle emissions characteristics, and the impact of reformulated gasolines on emissions. He received his Ph.D. in environmental engineering science from the California Institute of Technology. Harold Haskew is president of Harold Haskew and Associates. Prior to that, Mr. Haskew spent 42 years at General Motors Corporation where he directed many automotive emissions testing programs end was involved with regulatory issues. His work et General Motors included comprehensive studies on vehicle emissions controls, the durability of control systems in actual use, and the ability of short-duration tests to identify problems in condom systems. He holds a B.M.E. from the General Motors Institute. Douglas R. Lawson is a principal scientist at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) where he heads the Environmental Science and Health Effects Program. Before joining NREL, Dr. Lawson was the technical project manager for the Northern Front Range Study at Colorado State University, a program designed to identify the sources of urban air pollutants in the Denver metropolitan area. He has also been involved in programs to assess motor vehicle inspection and maintenance programs as well as those to identify and repair high-emitting vehicles. Dr. Lawson received his Ph.D. in chemical oceanography from Florida State University. Virginia McConnell is a senior fellow in the Quality of the Environment Division of Resources for the Future (RFF). She is also a professor of eco- nomics et the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. Her recent work has centered on the evaluation of policies to reduce motor vehicle pollution, includ- ing the analysis of inspection and maintenance programs, old-car scrap pro- grams, end emissions taxes. She has also analyzed the impactofenvironmen- talregulations on industry productivity and on facility-Iocation decisions. She received her B.S. in economics from Smith College and her Ph.D. in econom- ics from the University of Maryland. Alison K. PoBack is a principal at ENVIRON Corporation, an environmental consulting firm. Her work is in the analysis of mobile source emissions data, the evaluation of mobile source control programs, and the development and

Emissions inspection and maintenance (I/M) programs subject vehicles to periodic inspections of their emission control systems. Despite widespread use of these programs in air-quality management, policy makers and the public have found a number of problems associated with them. Prominent among these issues is the perception that emissions benefits and other impacts of I/M programs have not been evaluated adequately. Evaluating Vehicle Emissions Inspection and Maintenance Programs assesses the effectiveness of these programs for reducing mobile source emissions. In this report, the committee evaluates the differences in the characteristics of motor vehicle emissions in areas with and without I/M programs, identifies criteria and methodologies for their evaluation, and recommends improvements to the programs. Most useful of all, this book will help summarize the observed benefits of these programs and how they can be redirected in the future to increase their effectiveness.
