Description: In 1995, Pennsylvania?s governor looked at several options to comply with the Clean Air Act (CAA). The previous system that involved emissions testing at service stations led to inaccuracies and often fraudulence. The new options were a centralized plan, which would focus on cars in urban areas and would demand repair up to $450 if the cars did not pass the emissions tests; a decentralized plan that would be able to test more cars at service stations, using stricter anti-fraud requirements, and would only demand repair up to $150 for non-passing cars; and the use of reformulated gasoline which produces less VOC emissions than conventional gasoline, but also costs more. This case study analyses the different options to reduce emissions using cash-flow analysis, flow diagrams and other models.
