NOTICE: ECARS TESTING AF Vehicle IM program includes all military and federal civilians who drive a POV for work at Scott AFB. When you get the email, follow the link and review the ECARS online form. POVs driven 60 or more days per year are required to meet the Illinois emissions testing requirement. Exemptions include newer, older, alternate fuel, hybrid, motorcycles, etc. If you have a similar vehicle emissions test from another state, see if it’s a qualifying test that can be used until expiration. Equivalent tests include St. Louis city, county. Regardless of whether you are required to test, you must complete the online ECARS form at least annually to avoid being listed as a delinquent participant. The test is good for two years. Your digital signature on the ECARS AF Form 4434 stipulates that the data you have entered is correct and accurate. Contact the Scott AFB ECARS program manager, keith.brumley@us.af.mil DSN 576-2167 with questions.
