Make Curbside Delivery Idle Free
In the last few months, many of us have switched to curbside delivery for takeout food, groceries and household goods, in order to make our everyday lives as safe and healthy as possible.
When you pull up for your deliveries, be mindful of the health of those working to make your deliveries possible. Turn off your engine and be Idle Free.
Being Idle Free means less air pollution for you while you’re waiting and for those loading up your vehicle. Less wasted fuel means savings for you and better air for everyone.
We’re changing how we do so many things. One thing that hasn’t changed is being Idle Free. It’s still good for the air to turn off your engine while you’re waiting. Remember “Count to 10, Car Off Then!” when you’re waiting in your car.
