Travis County Discontinues Replacement Vouchers

Due to cuts in funding by the Texas legislature, Travis County is currently unable to issue vouchers for replacement vehicles. Any application for replacement received by Travis County after midnight on August 31, 2011, will not be processed.

In its recently adopted biennial budget, the Texas Legislature reduced statewide funding for the Low-Income Repair Assistance, Retrofit, and Accelerated Vehicle Retirement Program (also known as AirCheck Texas Drive a Clean Machine) by 87.5% from $99.7 million to $12.5 million for the next biennium. The Texas Legislature did not reduce vehicle inspection fees. The fees, including the extra fees paid for emissions testing, will still be collected by the state, but the amount passed through to implement the AirCheck Texas Drive A Clean Machine will be dramatically reduced.

As a result of this drastic reduction in funding, the Travis County Commissioner’s Court approved the decision to discontinue issuing replacement vouchers as of August 31, 2011. Any application for replacement received by Travis County after midnight on August 31, 2011, will not be processed. Once a replacement voucher expires, an extension will not be granted.

Travis County will continue to issue repair vouchers.

If the budget is fully restored in the future, or if sufficient funding becomes available, Travis County will resume issuing replacement vouchers.
