Stop Idling — It’s the Law!

The No-Idling Law passed by the County of Westchester went into effect in February. It states: “No person shall allow or permit the engine of a motor vehicle to idle for more than 3 consecutive minutes when the motor vehicle is not in motion” (with specific exceptions).

Turning off your engine is one of the easiest things you can do to reduce carbon emissions. Every day, Americans waste 3.8 million gallons of gas by voluntarily idling their cars. Prolonged idling is not good for you or your vehicle, and exhaust is the leading source of toxic car pollution.

TURN OFF YOUR ENGINE when you:

• pick up your kids at school or another activity
• wait at the train station or bus stop
• make a quick stop

Ready, Set... Recycle!
