Seems to me that their efforts could be better spent on transportation systems. For those of you who aren't here in Southern California it is quite remarkable to when you first move here to see how many new cars are on the road in the LA area. I would venture to say that the ratio of new cars (5yrs. & newer)to older cars on the road as compared to any other major city in the US is probably 3x in Los Angeles & the surrounding counties as compared to others. People can't survive here without a newer vehicle unless they have a strong background in mechanics & as we know that is even less applicable with the onset of computer controlled systems in cars these days. The reason for this is that it is nearly impossible to get from place to place here. If you want to survive you need reliable transportation! So with such a small % of gross pullutors I don't see how they think their efforts will make any difference at all! It's just plain Stupid! The only way I see to improve on our air quality(as far as vehicle emmisions are concerned) is to improve our transit & transportation systems.
