Start Your Own "Idle Free" Zone Campaign at Your Business and/or Shopping Center!

If idling is a concern at your workplace or if your business or industry has a fleet of vehicles, implement the following measures to discourage idling and save money on fuel!

1. Put up educational materials in your workplace in a location visible to employees and customers. Utilize materials from Transportation Program of Natural Resources Canada's Office of Energy Efficiency (OEE) or design your own:
   
   Idling Gets You Nowhere

   Ready To Do Your Part?
   
   Idling Gobbles Up Fuel

2. Hand out educational materials to your employees and customers. Here are samples from Transportation Program of Natural Resources Canada's Office of Energy Efficiency (OEE) and Airwatch Northwest:
   
   Idling Gets You Nowhere

3. Place No-Idling Signs in Visible Locations Inside and Outside of Your Office or Shopping Complex. Below are links to a number of different "no idling" sign designs:
   
   
   For Our Health

   
   
   Save $ And Spare Our Air

   
   Turn Off Your Engine

   
   It All Adds Up to Cleaner Air
