Due to the concentration of living circles in Taiwan or the inconvenience of public transportation in remote areas in the past, scooters, with unique features such as mobility, convenience and easy to park have become the means of transportation that ordinary people in Taiwan rely on. In addition, the rapid development of industry and commerce has led to a rapid growth in the number of registrations. In particular, Chiayi City has both of the above characteristics and the characteristics of small and dense population, bringing Chiayi City to rank second among all counties in Taiwan in terms of the number of scooters. In addition to the active control by the central competent authority, currently 43 scooter exhaust inspection stations have been set up in Chiayi City to provide the public with the service of the annual regular inspection of scooter. In addition to managing scooter inspection stations to encourage them to provide good inspection services and quality, inspections, notifications and public education will be used to control the non-compliance of regular inspection scooters, which are in use in this city to implement the promotion of the regular exhaust inspection and maintenance system of scooters. Chiayi City has become a pioneer in the country, with the Environmental Protection Agency as the main body to include the city's regular scooter exhaust inspection stations, and took the lead in passing the international certification of the TAF inspection agency. As of December 15th, the implementation progress of the plan and the progress of each quantitative target are as follows: implementation of non-compliance scooter inspection control is as follows: non-compliance scooter inspections were 5,270vehicles, and the progress achievement rate was 131.8%. 23roadside scooter stop inspections were conducted and 1,352scooters were stopped and inspected, and87scooters were unqualified after inspection. The unqualified rate was 6.4%, and the progress rate was 112.7%.

The equipment renewal plan for the replacement of the old electric two-wheeler charging station was approved on April 30th, 2021. It was opened for use after acceptance on August 30. In order to improve the inspection quality of the scooter inspection station and to actually check the problems that occurred at the inspection station, the on-site scooter secret inspection operation was adopted for the scooter inspection station in the jurisdiction. Use on-site scooter inspection operations to investigate various deficiencies and improvements of shortcomings in inspection stations so as to check whether there are improper repairs or forced repairs, or arbitrary increase of repair costs and other violations. Through this actual scooter inspection operation, the inspection station's implementation of quality assurance and quality control in various operations such as inspection process and inspection quality are improved, and the credibility of inspection data is improved. 44 stations have been secretly checked on scooters, and 3 stations have violated the relevant operating regulations of the "Measures for the Establishment and Management of Scooter Emissions Air Pollutant Inspection Stations" based on the severity of the circumstances. The Environmental Protection Agency of the Executive Yuan announced on December 12th, 2019 the "Subsidy Measures for the Replacement of Old Scooters".
