<br />What Is Idling? <br />Idling is running a vehicle engine when it’s not moving. <br />While some idling is hard to avoid, most idling is wasteful and avoidable. <br /> <br />Why Care About Idling? <br />Idling is expensive. <br />An idling car wastes up to .5 gallon per hour; a medium‐duty truck may waste even more. <br />While individual episodes may be small, the cumulative impacts of idling are large. <br /> <br />Idling pollutes. <br />Each gallon of fuel burned emits about 20 lbs. of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas. <br /> <br />Idling threatens health. <br />Tailpipe emissions contribute to the formation of ground‐level ozone, which can damage lungs. <br /> <br />Idling can be against the law. <br />Idling laws differ by location, vehicle type/weight, fuel type, and outside temperature. <br />What Can YOU Do About Idling? <br />YOU CAN BE AWARE <br /> Turn off vehicles when not moving. <br /> When available, use waiting rooms at depots and assembly areas instead of idling. <br /> <br />YOU CAN EDUCATE DRIVERS <br /> Adopt an idling reduction policy. <br /> Ask drivers to make a pledge to reduce idling. <br /> Host an idling reduction workshop or driver training sessions. <br /> Post signs to remind drivers not to idle at your facility.
