Part I: Identify and Confirm Issues
![Page 4: Implementing A Successful Idle Reduction Project](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815c81550346895dca96c1/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Where is the idling problem?
– Truck stops and rest areas– Schools– Bus terminals– Tourist attractions and convention centers– Large company terminals or distribution centers– Rail yards (trucks and locomotives)– Ports (trucks, locomotives, and marine vessels)– Borders (trucks and locomotives)
![Page 5: Implementing A Successful Idle Reduction Project](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815c81550346895dca96c1/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
How to Assess the Idling Situation
• Do not assume there is an idling problem• Investigate
– Visit location– Observe idling behavior (direct observation vs.
surveys)
![Page 6: Implementing A Successful Idle Reduction Project](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815c81550346895dca96c1/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Truck Stops/Rest Areas
• Is overnight parking allowed? • How many parking spaces?• Is this an “end” destination or “pass-thru”
destination (Hint: visit after 8pm. Is the lot full?)• Count the number of trucks idling• How many months of the year is the temperature,
on average, above 80 degrees F or under 40 degrees F.

Schools
• How long are buses idling in front of the school?
• How long do the buses idle to warm-up the engine during winter months?
• How long do the buses idle to cool the compartment during summer months?
![Page 8: Implementing A Successful Idle Reduction Project](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815c81550346895dca96c1/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Bus Depots, Distribution Centers, Tourist Attractions, Convention
Centers• How long are buses idling to heat or cool
the compartment (winter/summer)?• Does your state have an anti-idling law? Is
it enforced?
![Page 9: Implementing A Successful Idle Reduction Project](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815c81550346895dca96c1/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Rail Yards, Ports, Borders
• How long are trucks waiting and idling?• How long are “switcher” locomotives
idling?• How long are marine engines waiting and
idling?

Part 3: Select your Alternative and/or Strategy
![Page 16: Implementing A Successful Idle Reduction Project](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815c81550346895dca96c1/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Truck Stops/Rest Areas
• Electrified Parking Spaces– All-inclusive model (no major modifications to truck)
• Cost: $15K-$18K per space
– Traditional model (requires truck come equipped with on-board electrical components and hardware)
• Cost: $3K-4K per space; $2K-3K per truck
• No Idling Zone – Truck stop voluntary commitment
• State/local anti-idling law

Future EPA Efforts
• Truck Stops: inviting truck stops to join SmartWay by installing electrified spaces
• State anti-idling laws: creating state model for anti-idling law
• Ports & Borders
