Reporting Vehicle

All Off-road vehicles are required to be reported as of 2009. Fleets that have not reported should do so as soon as possible. Fleets that have not reported and are found to be in violation by enforcement personnel before they report themselves will be subject to enforcement action, including fines. Civil penalities are not to exceed one thousand dollars ($1,000) or ten thousand ($10,000) respectively for each day in which the violation occurs, which can be applied to each vehicle that is not reported. For more information, go to: www.arb.ca.gov/ordiesel

Labeling

All vehicles subject to off-road regulation are to be labeled on both sides of the machine within thirty (30) days of receiving the equipment indetification number (EIN). As of January 1, 2013 all machines must be labeled on both sides of the equipment. All captive attainment fleets must be labeled as well but the background is green with white lettering, instead of a red background with white lettering. Where can I buy labels?
