Vehicle Emissions
The Vehicle Emissions Team (VET) continues to make substantial progress in meeting its goal to pilot, monitor and evaluate vehicle emission reduction initiatives.
Current projects include:
ROVER II vehicle emissions study - report released – January 8, 2008 – click here for more info
The ROVER II project used the latest in remote sensing technology to test over 50,000 vehicles in Edmonton, Calgary, Red Deer and Canmore in September and October, 2006.
The first ROVER (Roadside Optical Vehicle Emission Reporter) project in 1998 assessed actual in-use vehicle emissions using remote sensing technology. This project led to the Breathe Easy vehicle scrappage program pilot, which pointed to the viability of ongoing scrappage programs in Alberta.
Employer-based transportation demand management (TDM)
The TDM sub-group developed a Clean Commute package for use by CASA stakeholders who are employers in Edmonton and Calgary and is expected to report back with baseline information in mid-2008.
