CUT DIESEL IDLING * USA - Money available to encourage projects that do it
Arlington,TX,USA -The Fort Worth Star Telegram (Fort Worth,TX), by BRYON OKADA -Oct. 13, 2008: -- Diesel idling — truck drivers’ idling their engines to keep cab air conditioners running while they are resting or waiting to load or unload cargo — is often a simple fact of trucking in Texas, with its frequently unfriendly temperatures... A new regional diesel-idling program intends to reduce emissions by reducing the idling — and there’s federal money to be had for those with the best ideas... 
To that end, the Regional Transportation Council is looking for the first time at funding area projects specifically designed to cut down on diesel idling. Projects can be either on-board devices or on-site solutions like electrified parking spaces. It can also be other innovative projects — something nobody has thought up yet... Trucks are an obvious focus for the program, but not the only one...
