March – Reducing Idle Time

Reducing the amount of idle time means reducing the amount of time your vehicle is turned on while stopped. This is an important action that reduces the amount of greenhouse gases entering our atmosphere. Turning off your vehicle while stopped at railway stations, in parking lots, and waiting for passengers are steps you can take to help the climate. It reduces emissions, lowers your carbon footprint and saves money spent on fuel.
