Vehicle Emission Reduction Incentive

The Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) administers the Automotive Emissions Repair Assistance Program (AERAP), which offers vouchers of up to $2,500 for the repair of vehicles that failed the on-board diagnostic II (OBD II) systems inspection. Eligible vehicles for a repair voucher are those that have failed the OBD II systems inspection, require repairs that are not under warranty, and will be able to pass the inspection once the repairs are made. Applicant total gross household income must be less than or equal to 185% of the Federal Poverty Level. For more information, see the DEC AERAP website.
