Vehicle emissions process now required Published March 26, 2014 By Airman 1st Class Samantha Saulsbury 460th Space Wing Public Affairs BUCKLEY AIR FORCE BASE -- The Employee-Vehicle Certification and Reporting System, which is used to certify vehicles driven onto Buckley are compliant with Denver metropolitan regions air emissions requirements, is scheduled to be activated March 18. Employees can expect to receive an email with an embedded link to ECARS. ECARS is a self-guided online process that takes less than five minutes to complete. All federal employees, excluding contractors, are required to complete the self-certification process. All vehicles, even those registered in a state that doesn't require emissions testing, must complete the process. Employees are encouraged to watch an eight minute video that will provide additional information and demonstrate how to use ECARS. Base partners will be phased in during summer and fall 2014.
