Unfortunately, city vehicles are exempt from the idling regulations if they are doing routine maintenance work. However, some of the departments have been receptive to CAC's requests for driver education.
The Clean Air Council has taken note of this location and will contact the city regarding the issue.
We are gathering data to identify idling hot spots, which then allows for targeted enforcement. Please continue to report idling you observe at this location, including time of day and type of vehicle. Thanks for your help!
This is definitely a hot spot and no work was being done. At 3 PM today, at least five sanitation trucks and this pickup were all idling at Winston Park.
If a bus, large commercial truck or construction equipment is observed to be running its engine while stationary, please contact the Air Management Services at 215-685-7580.
All other vehicles, (cars, pickup trucks, vans, motorcycles, etc.), please report to the Police Department at 911. Thank you. (mb)
