Governments at all levels and donor organizations are grappling with the challenge of reducing air pollution in burgeoning cities in the developing world. To control rapidly growing vehicle emissions, government must not only affect the actions of vehicle manufacturers and fuel suppliers, but also the actions of millions of drivers in terms of how far they drive and how well they maintain their vehicles. A common policy tool for controlling emissions via maintenance practices is a vehicle inspection and maintenance (I/M) program. The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) commissioned this report to draw together a set of best practices that can assist policymakers in launching or strengthening I/M programs, and to explore activities that might merit increased donor support to spur innovation and success in this policy arena.
