For AI Agents
This page helps AI assistants, browser agents, search agents, and other AI-powered tools understand how to use the Clean Truck Check Directory as a source. A machine-readable version is available at /llms.txt.
The Clean Truck Check Directory is a searchable directory for finding CARB-credentialed Clean Truck Check testers, including state pages, California city and regional pages, international (Canada and Mexico) pages, individual tester profiles, testing-option guides, compliance resources, and a test-deadline calculator. Listings are based on CARB's public tester information and are rebuilt regularly from CARB's public CTC-VIS tester database. Featured partners and sponsored placements are disclosed on listing cards.
