Georgia’s Clean Air Force Announces Clean Air Force Elite Program

ATLANTA – Georgia’s Clean Air Force, in partnership with the Georgia Environmental Protection Division, has launched the Clean Air Force Elite program to promote excellence in vehicle emissions testing and customer service.

For the Clean Air Force Elite program, Georgia’s Clean Air Force has worked with station owners, managers and inspectors to raise the bar of the testing experience for motorists by making a commitment to deliver the highest quality service to each motorist, every time.

The program consists of 288 elite vehicle emissions testing stations with inspectors who have reviewed a Best Practices Toolkit and signed a pledge in support of best practices when assisting motorists throughout the 13-county metro Atlanta region.

Clean Air Force Elite stations can be identified by specially designed window decals and signage to be displayed outside of the station.

“Georgia’s Clean Air Force wanted to establish a program to recognize the emissions testing stations who demonstrate outstanding best practices in both emissions testing and customer service,” said Pamela Earl, Mobile & Area Sources Program Manager, Georgia Environmental Protection Division. “This ongoing program will ensure that motorists can choose the very best emissions testing stations and inspectors.”
