BC stopped emission testing 10ish years ago because new cars almost never fail so there wasn't much value continuing the program.

Dunno why these programs never took a sampling approach and data-mined which makes/models/years to target the next year/cycle.

The only way to have affordable, ubiquitous testing stations is to make it universal. At least, in states that do not also require safety inspections. If only 10,000 cars were tested each year, nobody would buy the equipment.

		Mass (low-value) testing is only more affordable if you value people’s time at $0/hr
