Vehicle-Idling

Info on excessive vehicle idling and enforcement of anti-idling laws in New York City and beyond. Based at New York University NYU.

Not only is NYPD's parking behavior amazing ---- NYPD seem to be exempt from any no-idling regulation. At least that is what they claim.

In the 20th century, being "modern" meant bringing cars into the center of dense cities. (And in so doing, destroying them.)
In the 21st century, it has to mean keeping them out.

Frightening that this map is shared by thousands of LTN advocates as 'evidence' of a reduction to #airpollution due to a LTN.

Even @willnorman shared it earlier this week.

We must not mislead the public about the air they breathe. LTNs INCREASE traffic pollution on main roads.

An advocacy, stop idling. Turn to cleaner energy more.

@Ms65MaryJo @Sysco @NYPD @dot @nyc311 Tape, report, and cash in. We have done it hundreds of times. https://t.co/KDiqUj0QQ0

An @NYPDnews vehicle on the sidewalk as a show of intimidation, with a cop idling the car and playing on a cell phone. Meanwhile, there was trash everywhere, which is what happens with a decimated @NYCParks budget and bloated NYPD budget. @placardabuse

Emissions from idling engines contribute to air pollution. We’ve pledged to make sure we have our #EnginesOff wherever possible to help deliver healthy air. Sign up to the @idlingaction campaign to reduce vehicle emissions at https://t.co/gcVpD8Lk1U #EnginesOff

Six billion gallons of fuel are wasted each year due to vehicle idling, and personal vehicles release around 30 million tons of carbon dioxide while doing so. | By Daedan Olander

Of course the oil and shipping companies should be the ones paying for the damage they have done. But since they obviously don’t care - please donate if you can.
My foundation will donate 100.000sek (ca € 10.000)

@MBTom_co_uk @VehicleIdling @Dont_be_idle @idlefreecal @GreeningPutney @helenafmckeown @helen_pic @kyne007 @Tinagrace16 @AirFairy04 @jksmith34 The majority of drivers are shocked to learn that diesel engine exhaust is carcinogenic group1 like tobacco smoke and that #airpollution can be higher when trapped inside the vehicle. Most switch off their engine but we need new idling law to tackle repeat offenders. #NO2idling

As the mom of a child killed by a careless driver, who daily walks & bikes with my living children in front of trucks whose hoods are taller than their 2nd grader heads, I just want to say these machines are an absolute menace and the companies who make them are evil.

To build a better city we must stop focusing on what we add and instead start with what we take away: 🚗 Great leadership from @VishaanNYCA (and some good quotes from @BrentToderian, too) https://t.co/1fOVuISz4u
