Air pollution control implemented by Environmental Protection Administration, Executive Yuan (hereinafter referred to as The Administration) for many years has made the concentration of pollutants in the air gradually decline and improved air quality. However, due to the regional and geographical characteristics of Chiayi City, motorcycles have always been transportation that people chiefly rely on. Therefore, the city has followed strategies enforced by The Administration including implementing stricter emission standards, using clean fuels, replacing old motorcycles with new ones and promoting pollution-free transportation, planned to take inspection and propagandizing measures to teach motorcyclists correct operation concepts to reduce the exhaust emissions of motor vehicles to effectively achieve the objective of improving air quality. Meanwhile, The city has actively promoted environmental protection policies related to energy saving and carbon reduction.
First, 132,525 postcards notifying motorcycle owners of regular inspection were mailed, which could increase the inspection rate to 60% from 50%. In other words, 13,000 motorcycles would be urged to receive the inspection. Additionally, 7,422 motorcycles were found without the regular inspection, and 2,304 motorcycles were pulled over for roadside inspection. 17,845 notices were issued to alert motorcycle owners for the inspection, and 8,226 of which already received the regular inspection. 11,919 motorcycle owners were notified with license plate recognition, making 9,722 motorcycles receive the inspection. A total of 24,394 motorcycles received the inspection, increasing the inspection rate by 18%. The project further analyzed that the current inspection proportion was approximately 80%, meaning that approximately 26,000 more motorcycles received the inspection upon the launch of the check. Therefore, every motorcycle being checked for the regular inspection could prompt approximately 1.1 motorcycles to receive the regular inspection, which showed that the checking strategy was correct.
With respect to the management of inspection stations, these stations were classified to receive regular auditing and complete one secret auditing for real motorcycles. 27 deficiencies were found in 40 stations in the statistics of four quarters, with 0.17 deficiencies for each station in each quarter on average. The situation has greatly been improved compared to the past with 2 to 3 deficiencies. Moreover, the stations received annual supervision and evaluation from Taiwan Accreditation Foundation on January 12th, and there was one non-conformance report (NCR) in category B and category C respectively. The reply was completed and mailed, and the reports passed annual supervision and evaluation on February 13th. The accreditation is valid through April 22, 2019. The instruments of these stations passed the check provided by Industrial Technology Research Institute. Additionally, a satisfaction survey regarding the entire performance of motorcycle emission inspection stations showed that 33% more stations scored five points compared with last year. Upon numerous internal and external management measures, the quality of motorcycle emission inspection stations in Chiayi City is reliable.
To improve the benefits of the regular inspection, past analysis showed that approximately 15% unqualified motorcycles of the city became qualified after being repaired and improved by non inspection stations. Therefore, alliance between inspection stations and non inspection stations has been promoted in recent years. 182 non inspection stations, accounting for 80% of which in the city, have joined the alliance, and the number is 12 stations more compared with last year. Additionally, these non inspection stations filled out the insurance and inspection form with inspection stations for 3,192 motorcycles, with an 359% increase compared with last year. This showed that non inspection stations have gradually accepted the guidance of inspection stations and complied with related measures. However, the number of allied inspection stations and the average unqualified rate of return of motorcycles having received roadside inspection were analyzed and showed that the greater the number of allied inspection stations was, the higher the unqualified rate became. The correlation was stronger especially for two-stroke motorcycles. This is probably because the alliance has not been promoted long, and inspection stations have had limited control over non inspection stations. Therefore, the project suggests that the number of allied inspection stations be limited 5 to 7 stations and not exceed 10 stations.
To respond accordingly to the major policy of The Administration of replacing two-stroke motorcycles, Chiayi City increased the amount of subsidies. Additionally, the project organized “Blue Sky and Green Land for Sustainable Environment,” a large-scale event to propagandize pollution reduction results, and successively promoted citizens’ newspapers, banners on garbage trucks, advertising motorcycles, press conferences, vertical flags at gas stations and television broadcasting in each month. 15,983 two-stroke motorcycles have been replaced, which achieved 151.8% of the objective set by The Administration. Compared the number of replaced motorcycles with propagandizing measures, it showed that citizens’ newspapers brought the most benefits with banners on garbage trucks, vertical flags at gas stations and television broadcasting as they led to the comparatively higher number of replaced motorcycles in those months, with the number exceeding 1,200. This is probably because the propagandizing covered the entire city. Moreover, the check for motorcycles not receiving the regular inspection prompted 39% motorcycles to be declared unusable, totaling 6,495. The number accounted for 40.6% of replaced motorcycles, which brought quite significant additional benefits.
96% (increased by 20% compared with last year) of people surveyed indicated that they knew the information regarding extra subsidies for the replacement of two-stroke motorcycles this year. It showed that propagandizing measures (such as citizens’ newspapers, propagandizing banners, vertical flags and flyers) made it easier for people to obtain related information and that partial effects have been achieved. The project suggests that motorcycles receive overdue emission inspection on-site, and that motorcycle owners be punished immediately for exceeding emission standards to accelerate the replacement of motorcycles.
