Engine Off North Texas

Anti-Idling LogoNine counties in the North Central Texas currently violate the federal air quality standard for the pollutant ozone.  To meet these standards, the region must address major contributing factors to emissions from vehicles.  The region’s goal is to come into compliance for ozone as early as possible to ensure the greatest quality of life for all residents in the area.

NOTE: As of September 1, 2009, exemption (12) of the Texas Administrative Code: § 114.510-517 Locally Enforced Motor Vehicle Idling Limitations is expired. This means that truck drivers are no longer exempt from idling during a government-mandated resting period within any jurisdiction in the State that has adopted this rule. Click here for a list of entities in North Central Texas that have adopted the rule.
