What You Can Do

Turn it Off
  • Turn your vehicle off when parked or waiting to pick someone up.
  • In winter, avoid using a remote car starter – these devices encourage you to start your vehicle before you're ready to leave, which increases wasteful idling.

Restarting the engine uses less fuel than 10 seconds of idling and produces less air pollution.
