No-Idling Program
The purpose of the Clean Air Schools No-Idling Program is to reduce pollution from idling buses and cars that negatively affect a child’s healthy lung growth and development.
The program provides solutions including metal signage for school grounds and educational materials for bus drivers and parent drivers – all at no cost to the school.
How the Program Works:
- You count how many cars are currently idling at your school.
- We help you create awareness about idling and why people shouldn't do it.
- You record your progress toward reducing idling on school grounds.
- We help you improve your No-Idling Program.
The Clean Air Schools No-Idling Program is made possible by a grant from the UPS Foundation.
