The AirCheckTexas - Drive a Clean Machine Repair and Replacement Assistance Program is designed to help vehicle owners comply with vehicle emissions standards to reduce ozone-forming exhaust from on-road motor vehicles. It focuses on the highest emission vehicles and provides an incentive for citizens to contribute to the regional air quality solution.

Vehicle owners and their registered vehicles in the Williamson County may be eligible for repair assistance if their vehicle fails the mandatory emissions inspection test up to $600 for emission related repairs is available if qualified. Up to $3,500 is available for replacement of vehicles that are ten years old or older and have passed both safety and emissions on the inspection test.
