Welcome to the Idle-Free Zone

This is Canada's first Web site dedicated to helping communities and environmental groups reduce vehicle idling in an effort to conserve energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

  • For Individuals
    When it comes to idling, one person can make a difference. Read on to find out simple ways that you, as an individual, can reduce your greenhouse gas emissions, and save both fuel and money through reducing your idling.

  • For Businesses
    Employees and vehicle fleets can benefit from fuel and economic savings by initiating idle-free campaigns at the office. Here you can read about ideas for an idling-reduction project at your workplace.

  • For Schools
    Air pollution and smog are significant health issues, particularly for children who breathe more quickly than adults. Many parents and teachers are starting idling-reduction campaigns at schools in the hopes of improving air quality for their children. Read on for ideas.

  • For Communities and Government
    Communities and municipalities can be quite instrumental in facilitating idling reduction projects, from writing letters, to conducting outreach and idling blitzes. Here you will find a wealth of information that can help you, as a community or municipality, with your idling campaign.
