Illinois EPA to Resume Phased-In Vehicle Emissions Testing
Illinois Air Team
Village of Bridgeview
The Illinois EPA has recently announced that the Agency will resume vehicle emissions testing at most Illinois Air Team Locations. The Agency suspended operations on March 21, 20202 to slow the spread of COVID-19 in Illinois. In accordance with Phase 3 of the Restore Illinois plan the Air Team will be taking the following precautions to protect motorists and personnel:
• Wear masks at all times
• Practice social distancing
• Clean and disinfect testing stations regularly
• Minimize contact with vehicles
Motorists are asked to do their part and abide by the following:
• Do not visit an Air Team testing location if you are currently under self-quarantine, isolation or if you are exhibiting COVID-19 symptoms
• One person per vehicle and no pets
• Wear face coverings
• Practice social distancing and follow the procedures in place at Air Team testing locations
In order to reduce traffic volume and wait times at the testing locations, vehicle registration expiration dates have been extended without penalty by at least 90 days. Hours of operation at all open testing locations are 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and 7:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, excluding State holidays. Below is the recommended time table to get your vehicle tested.
