North Carolina Idling Restrictions
Idle Reduction Requirement
The North Carolina State Board of Education revised the Allotment Policy Manual and adopted reduced idling incentives. The local policies prohibit unnecessary school bus idling on school grounds and prohibit buses from warming up for longer than five minutes. The North Carolina School Boards Association has provided a sample policy and administrative procedure that meet the requirements.
