| Abstract |
This paper describes the results of a follow-up survey with participants during the FY79 and FY80 Emission Factor Testing Programs. The surveys were conducted in the form of a questionnaire which program participants were asked to complete and return, about one week after their vehicle was tested and returned to them. The questions pertained to the efficiency of the lab personnel and the performance of their vehicle after it had been tested. Over 70% of the 2500 questionnaires were completed and returned. The results of both surveys show that practically all participants felt they were treated efficiently by the lab personnel and that the vast majority felt that their vehicle displayed either no change or an improvement in its performance. Of those respondents whose vehicles received maintenance, the percentage that felt that there was an improvement in performance was greater than that of the owners of vehicles which did not receive maintenance. Of the respondents who were not satisfied with the present performance of their vehicles after maintenance, both programs indicate that most felt the same before the maintenance and testing had been performed. |
