Vehicle Inspection Program - VIP

DEQ operates a Vehicle Inspection Program in the Portland and Rogue Valley areas of Oregon. In these areas, an emissions test is required when registering or renewing a vehicle with Oregon DMV. Vehicles are the number one source of air pollution in Oregon. Emissions lead to high smog and carbon monoxide levels, which can have a variety of effects on Oregonians. The Vehicle Inspection Program (VIP) is a successful, cost-effective way to reduce air pollution and maintain the quality of Oregon's air.
