The motorcycle inspection and maintenance (I&M) regulation has been taken into effect since 1998. After nine years effort the implementation of I&M is considered successful. The total number of I&M stations have reached 2,086. EPA supported 600 millions for the inspection of motorcycles per year. The budget occupies 65% of the air pollution fee. This situation expels the execution of the measure of other vehicles. Hence, drawing up a plan for the inspection expense treated by the owners of the motorcycles is necessary. The main objective of this project is to assist, guide, and manage all the I&M stations in Taiwan. The following achievements have been obtained from this project: (1)Planning and executing a measure for the owners of the motorcycles paying the fare themselves, and establishing the other related matching measure. (2)Checking and examining of Motorcycle I&M station: Through field investigation, totally 115 stations were being checked and found 53 defects；By using pre-modified vehicles to check on 50 stations and found 24 defects. (3)Auditing the test I&M test numbers and fees for the licensed stations: After auditing, 6,543,150 tests were considered valid and 139,553 tests were considered as invalid. Totally NT$ 523,452,000 were provided to the licensed stations for the valid tests, and NT$ 11,164,240 were saved because of the invalid tests. (4)The maintenance, management and combination of the data bank of motorcycle inspection：Update I&M test information system and demonstrate the system. Addition station management,SOP functions. (5)Evaluate the cost effect on I&M tests that carried out by licensed stations: Collected the information such as monthly test numbers, the rate of annual test required motorcycles that actually reported to the I&M stations, test failed rate, repeat test rate, and analyze the relationship among motorcycle type, age, and traveling milage. The evaluation also included the capital required for setting up licensed stations, estimate the emission reduction after motorcycle maintenance, and the results would be posted on the web site of R.O.C. EPA. (6)To manage the evaluation of the results of controlled motorcycle projects in the “Evaluation points of air quality maintenance and improvement of execution results for the special municipalities and counties (cities) ” (7) To assist managing the project combination of 14th moving emissions. By carry out this project the quality of licensed I&M stations were assured, the I&M system was implemented successfully and the emissions from motorcycles being reduced, also the air quality in Taiwan being improved.
