Anti-Idling Programs
A great deal of idling takes place at schools, where buses and cars line up to drop off and pick up children, and the children end up breathing the exhaust. Stopping unnecessary vehicle idling is one relatively easy way to contribute to improved air quality and respiratory health in our communities.
This web site offers ideas and tools for conducting an anti-idling program at schools. Materials may also be adaptable for programs at other locations.
