Contents Notes |
This report gives the results of a study of Rhode Island's Inspection/Maintenance Program which was conducted in cooperation with The Rhode Island Lung Association. The study was based upon interviews with inspection station personnel and motor vehicle owners in the state. It evaluated the program in terms of public awareness, program quality, program deficiencies, inspection station quality and fee structure. The report findings will enable the Rhode Island Lung Association to make recommendations for enhancing and redirecting the program's public information campaign to detail its benefits. Key findings of the study were: (1) A preference for the private garage system by both groups; (2) A preference to have the State's "Challenge Station" issue inspection stickers for cars which it passes but were previously failed at a garage; (3) A majority of the inspection station personnel feeling that the inspection fee was too low; (4) The majority of the motor vehicle owners being unaware of the existence and purpose of the "Challenge Station". |
