Idling cars, trucks, school buses, public and private shuttle buses, and off-road construction equipment all contribute to the degradation of local air quality.

Current regulations limit engine idling for both diesel and gasoline vehicles to three minutes with limited exceptions.

Violations can be issued by DEP, County Environmental Health Officers, or local police departments. Call the DEP 24-hour, toll-free hotline at (877) 927-6337 or use the WARN DEP app.

Your local police department can also help if you want to report idling violations. *Please do not call 911.
