How does The National Transportation Idle-Free Corridors Program Help Reduce Long Duration Idling?
is dedicated to researching, developing, and promoting a wide variety of technology and non-technology strategies to reduce long duration idling. Under this project, SmartWay has: • Conducted comprehensive emissions testing to study the effects of idling on air quality and driver health • Funded a number of demonstration projects to evaluate truck stop and rail yard idle reduction technologies. • Compiled a list of idling reduction technologies and strategies for trucks, locomotives, and at truck parking spaces, rail yards, and other idling locations. • Created the Interactive Activity Map (IAM) – a geographic information system that allows you to locate various programs and projects that reduce fuel and pollution such as electrified truck stops, renewable energy refueling stations, and marine terminals.
