Checks are usually done or controlled by the state. Each state is different. Usually old cars do not have to pass tests. New cars, after 1994 I think, have built in computers that are continuously checking the cars emissions. These computers store the data and can be read by the testing facility.

Do senior citizens have to have an emission test on cars?

Whether senior citizens need to have an emission test on their cars depends on the regulations of their specific state or locality, as emission testing requirements vary widely. In many places, all vehicles, regardless of the owner's age, must undergo emissions testing if they meet certain criteria, such as being registered in an area with pollution control measures. Some states may offer exemptions or special considerations for older vehicles, but these policies are not universally applied. It's best for seniors to check with their local Department of Motor Vehicles or equivalent agency for specific requirements.


How can car sharing help to reduce carbon emission?

Easy, though that term is usually referred to as 'carpooling.' It helps reduction because it takes more cars off the road and people share their cars to get to similar places. If we all just went there in our own cars, there'd be a lot of one-occupant cars on the road. The fewer the cars on the road due to carpooling greatly reduces carbon emission.
