Uniformed environmental officers do roadside inspections of: light and heavy-duty vehicles – ensure they are operating properly with the required emissions controls to reduce smog-causing pollutants
A VEEU environmental officer, who should have government identification, can legally stop and inspect your vehicle at any time to ensure your compliance with the Environmental Protection Act and its regulations. A VEEU environmental officer may inspect your vehicle because: it is producing visible smoke, it has been reported as a polluter, an officer suspects that your emissions equipment has been removed, altered or is not functioning. If your vehicle is found to be polluting, you may: be issued a ticket ($300 for light-duty vehicles), receive an order to repair the vehicle, have your licence plates taken away if it’s smoking heavily.
