Abstract | The Model State Idling Law was the result of the National Idle Reduction Planning Conference held in May 2004 in Albany, New York. The goals of the conference were twofold: (1) Develop a model state idling law for states to consider adopting that would foster greater compliance through common understanding of the requirements and ease of implementation; and (2) Raise awareness among the trucking industry, states and environmental groups about diesel emission reductions. The model law is not being promulgated by EPA. Rather, EPA acted merely as a facilitator on behalf of the federal government to encourage participation by the trucking industry in the development of idle reduction laws. |
