Report Smoking Vehicles! – Santa Barbara County Air Pollution Control District

Report Smoking Vehicles!

Call 1-800-END-SMOG

The dirtiest cars are responsible for as much as 40% of all automotive pollution. Help us remind owners of smoking vehicles to keep their cars properly maintained.

Call 1-800-END-SMOG from a regular phone, or #SMOG (#7664) from a cell phone and provide the vehicle license number, make and model of the car, and where and when you saw it. The owner will get a letter suggesting he or she get the vehicle checked.

The Smoking Vehicle hotline is run by the California Air Resources Board, for more information, see www.arb.ca.gov/enf/complaints/smoke.htm.

Or you may call us on the Business Assistance Line at 805-861-8868 and we will forward your complaint to the State program!
