IDLE FREE

Did you know:

In Vancouver, idling for more than three minutes is against the law. Fines range from $50-$100.
Restarting your engine many times has no significant impact on the starter
Idling your engine uses more fuel and causes more emissions than turning it off and restarting it.
With today's modern engines and oils, driving your vehicle is the best way to warm it up. In cold weather, more than 30 seconds of idling to warm up the engine wastes time, money and gas
Prolonged idling pollutes the air we breathe and contributes to climate change
You can visit idlefree.ca for more information or report an idling incident at 604.257.2404
