Your Phone Call Can Help Stop Smoking Vehicles



Now You Can Report a Smoking Vehicle

The California Air Resources board has made it very easy to report your neighbor's smoke belching 1974 Pinto. The car doesn't even have to be in the Smog Check Program.

The next time you see a rolling smoke machine on one of California's roadways simply pick up your cell phone and dial #SMOG. Now this number works only in the larger California cities. You can call the Air Resources Board or one of the local air pollution control districts.

The following phone numbers are available in the regions listed:

Air Resources Board 1-800-END-SMOG
Bay Area AQMD 1-800-EXHAUST
San Diego County APCD 1-800-28-SMOKE
San Joaquin Valley Unified APCD 1-800-559-9AIR
Shasta County AQMD 1-888-249-SMOG
South Coast AQMD 1-800-CUT-SMOG
Ventura County APCD 1-800-559-SMOG

Please have this information ready to report:

  • Vehicle Type
  • License Plate Number
  • Date and Time of the Incident
  • Location of the Incident
The state encourages you to step up and do your duty.

More to come,
Thanks,
Bob
