Manual Section On Anti-Idling
- Please feel free to incorporate the following language
in your Bus Operations Manual
Lower Merion School District:
Engine Idling
It is the policy of the Transportation
Section that engines not be running unless necessary. Unnecessary
engine idling not only wastes fuel but it also creates unnecessary
pollution. The practice of starting a vehicle and leaving
it unattended for 10-15 minutes is unacceptable. Drivers
should idle the vehicle only for the time required to defrost
the windows. Drivers are prohibited from leaving vehicles
unattended while idling. Engines will not be running while
awaiting departure at schools except when students are on
board and weather conditions require heat, or for other
safety purposes.
North Penn School District:
Engine Idling
It is the policy of the Transportation
Department that engines not be running unless necessary.
Unnecessary engine idling is not only costly but also creates
an environment which may be uncomfortable to some people.
Engines will not be running while awaiting departure at
schools except when students are on board and weather conditions
require heat, or for other safety purposes.
