National Idle-Reduction Campaign
 
Idling school buses pollute the air.  The National Idle-Reduction Campaign seeks to show the important role of the school bus driver in learning how to reduce diesel emission and improve air quality.
National Idle-Reduction Campaign
 
 

There are 25 million reasons why it's important to reduce idling. Take the pledge...the key to reducing idling is you!

Clean School Bus USA's newly launched National Idle-Reduction Campaign is a public information campaign that recognizes the important role of the school bus driver as a professional, who is responsible for the safety and security of children. The National Idle-Reduction Campaign:

  • Provides an opportunity for pupil transportation managers, bus drivers, teachers, and children to learn about air quality and diesel emissions.
  • Recognizes the positive contribution being made by school bus drivers.
  • Promotes idle-reduction as an easy way to save money by not wasting fuel, reducing wear and tear on engines, protecting drivers' health and the health of children, and improving air quality.
