EDAR: The "It" Technology for the "It" City
How the EDAR Express Screen Program Works
​
-
Motorists will have the opportunity to have their vehicle emissions tested as they drive down the road!
-
This program eliminates the requirement for all vehicles to be tested at brick-and-mortar stations. Instead, a certain percentage of the population will be able to opt-in for Express Screen.
-
​
-
HEAT is installing Emission Detection and Reporting (EDAR) devices in carefully selected locations throughout the Nashville area, encompassing a broad spectrum of geographic and socioeconomic areas to fairly allow anyone in the Metro Nashville area to participate in this program.
​
-
Vehicle owners can conveniently access a list of EDAR locations via the Express Screen TN - EDAR Nashville website to identify the most convenient location and then drive underneath an EDAR unit during their normal driving routine.
​
-
When a vehicle has been detected by EDAR as clean, or passing, within a specific time period before a vehicle's registration expires, the vehicle owner is notified that their vehicle is clean and they are not required to have a traditional smog test performed that year.
​
-
Once a motorist receives an Express Screen passing notification, they may renew their registrations online, opting to participate in the program instead of traditional testing.
​
Express Screen significantly increases motorist convenience, while at the same time giving Nashville a hassle-free way to stay in compliance with EPA air-quality requirements.
