The program isn't to take cars away from people, it's an incentive to get high emission vehicles off the road. It's a state program and a pretty "cool" one. I think the car has to be running however.

The local utility has the same kind of program for alder that 10 year but still running refridgerators. They give you $35 for them, which beats the $10-$40 you would have to spend to get rid of them yourself, and, best of all, they are handled properly, evacuated and recycled.

There is another program that was just recently funded, an abandoned vehicle program, to help cities pay for dealing with vehicles that people just leave when dead.

There are also city ordinances that do not allow storage of unregistered vehicles in driveways (junk cars), but that is about keeping rats from taking up residence in neighborhoods and halping keep up the look of the neighborhood.

Can't say is disagree with any of these efforts.
