What program area performs only TSI tests during a change of ownership?

Enhanced program
Basic program
Change of ownership program
Special vehicle program

The correct answer is: Change of ownership program

The Change of Ownership program is specifically designed to perform Test and Repair (TSI) tests when a vehicle changes ownership. This program addresses the need for an emissions test to ensure that vehicles meet regulatory standards when they are sold or transferred to a new owner. TSI tests focus on identifying any excessive emissions and ensure compliance with state emissions regulations, making it crucial for vehicles that are being re-registered. In contrast, the Enhanced and Basic programs involve broader assessments and may include additional testing criteria beyond just ownership changes. The Special Vehicle program targets unique vehicles, which might have different testing requirements. However, the Change of Ownership program's singular focus is on administering TSI tests in the context of a vehicle's sale, emphasizing the importance of emissions checks at the point of transfer.
