Emission Control : Privatizing Vehicle Inspection and Reducing Fraud in Mexico City

The vehicle inspection program in Mexico City is regard as one of the most successful in a developing country. As the program evolved it suffered the problem common to most such scheme in developing countries -- high levels of evasion. But the program now operates well, through high volume, test-only centers entirely in the hands of the private sector. As an increasing number of developing country cities consider how to enforce emissions standards as a way to control transport-related air pollution, Mexico City offers valuable lessons on how to ensure compliance.
