Policy Guidance Documents
Idling Policies: A reduction in long-duration idling will reduce emissions of nitrogen oxides, carbon dioxide, and particulate matter. For state and local air quality planners and transportation officials, these emission reductions can be used in air quality plans such as state implementation plans, transportation and general conformity, and new source review offsets. EPA published several guidance documents about quantifying and using truck and locomotive idle emission reductions in air quality plans.
- Guidance for Accounting for NOx Reductions from Trailer Aerodynamic Kits and Low Rolling Resistance Tires (PDF) (35 pp, 272 KB, EPA420-B-07-004, June 2007) includes guidance for State and Local Air and Transportation Agencies
- Guidance for Quantifying and Using Long Duration Truck Idling Emission Reductions in State Implementation Plans and Transportation Conformity (PDF) (33 pp, 379 KB, EPA420-B-04-001, January 2004) includes information about using emission reductions from truck idling reduction projects
- Guidance for Quantifying and Using Long Duration Switch Yard Locomotive Idling Emission Reductions in State Implementation Plans (PDF) (25 pp, 343 KB, EPA420-B-04-002, January 2004) provides information about using emission reductions from locomotive idling reduction projects
- In 2004, Beaumont, Texas successfully used an idle reduction project to meet the transportation conformity lapse for oxides of nitrogen. Presentation from the Southeast Texas Regional Planning Commission (PDF). (14 pp, 272 KB)
