Anti Idling Campaign

Turn it Off

• Did you know that a mere 10 seconds of idling uses more fuel than turning the engine off and on?  And, idling is not good for our health.
• Exhaust from vehicles waiting near schools easily enters school buildings through air intakes and open windows. Vehicle exhaust is among the largest sources of air pollution in New Jersey.
• Children are more susceptible to air pollution than healthy adults because they breath at a faster rate and their respiratory system is still developing.
• Still not convinced?  Idling of any vehicle for more than three minutes is against the law (unless you are in moving traffic).  So, turn those engines off!
