Senator Jacqueline Y. Collins Reacts to Closing of Emissions Facilities in Chicago

Chicago – Today Senator Collins reacted to the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency impending closure of emission testing sites in Chicago.

“As of November 1, the last two remaining auto emissions testing facilities in Chicago will close. The closure of these facilities in Chicago creates added stress for residents by extending commutes to testing facilities outside of the city. In addition, residents facing financial hardship will be burdened by the mileage required to reach auto emissions facilities. Maintaining these facilities is beneficial for Chicago residents.”
