Is an idle reduction policy required?

All sub grant recipients must agree to implement a fleet-wide idle reduction policy. Unnecessary vehicle idling pollutes the air, wastes fuel, and causes excess engine wear. Reducing idling saves fleets’ money. Idling should be limited to the engine manufacturer recommendation (generally no more than five minutes). Sub grantees will be required to specify the policy to be implemented including (but not limited to) idling time limits, idling exceptions, expected fuel savings, etc.
