I'm sorry to hear people were affected by this idling so much. Clean Air Council is gathering data on where and when trucks are idling in the city to identify idling hotspots, which allows for targeted enforcement. The Council is working with Air Management Services, the Parking Authority, and the Police Department to enforce idling laws. Is this something that happens regularly on a daily or weekly basis?
Thanks for your help in creating a smog-free city!
