There are now a total of 12 emissions testing stations open. Normally the state has 18 stations in operation. They all closed in the early spring due to the coronavirus outbreak. Ten opened a month ago and in the past month or so more than 138,000 vehicles have been inspected. Officials are still working through a backlog of tests for March and April renewals.

Air Care Colorado shared the following notes about the testing in a news release:

- To help reduce wait times, motorists with registration renewals that are due in June are being urged to wait until July to get inspections.
- June registrations will not be late as there is a 30-day grace period following the last day of each renewal month.
- To avoid the longest waits, motorists should consider visiting midweek, mid to late afternoons. The busiest times are early mornings and Mondays.
