This fact sheet lists information that vehicle owners (or designees) will be required to report in the Clean Truck Check database when creating their accounts to comply with the Heavy-Duty Vehicle Inspection and Maintenance regulation. Required information must be entered for vehicle(s) that are subject to Clean Truck Check and the annual fee for each vehicle must be paid before the due date shown in your CTC-VIS account. Failure to do so may result in vehicles being cited for non-compliance and subject to penalties, and/or having their DMV vehicle registrations blocked. In addition, freight contractors, brokers, and applicable freight facilities are required to ensure vehicles they do business with must be compliant with Clean Truck Check.
The reporting database is expected to include batch upload functions to streamline the vehicle reporting and compliance fee payment process. Additional training materials on how to use the database will also be provided to assist users in meeting their Clean Truck Check reporting requirements.

Vehicle owners are also required to update their accounts within 30 days of adding or removing a vehicle from their fleets. Upon attesting responsibility for the complete list of vehicles, an Affirmation of Fleet Wide Compliance will be provided within 72 hours, once the vehicle owner or designee has demonstrated that every vehicle in the fleet complies with the requirements of this regulation.
