Inspection Facility to Make Way for Service Stations
Posted By Tom Bridge On January 31, 2008 @ 11:23 am In Uncategorized | Comments Disabled
The next time your DC-garaged vehicle needs an inspection you may not have to trundle on down to the Inspection Facility in Southwest DC, a place reviled by my District-dwelling friends. Much like surrounding Maryland and Virginia, DC Drivers may get to use one of 90 DC Gas Stations for inspections [3] instead of the lone facility on Half Street.
There are some concerns to be worked out, still, including how to get service stations to bite on a $200,000 dynamometer, and how to justify an 80% increase in the cost of the inspection (to $45), but proposals will be explored and a recommendation made in March.
