  Older vehicles produce a disproportionate share of total U.S. vehicle air emissions. Congress asked Office of Technology Assessment to examine the ability of vehicle scrappage programs to reduce gasoline use and emissions. This report presents the results of a preliminary analysis designed to examine the overall potential of scrappage programs and to determine whether a more detailed analysis would be worthwhile. 36p.
