Houston Anti-idling Ordinance

We, the citizens of Houston, demand that the City of Houston pass an ordinance to reduce vehicle idling. We support an anti-idling ordinance and the effort to reduce pollution from vehicles in Houston.

Why is this important?

Idling is dirty, inefficient, and unhealthy. Idling vehicles—particularly diesel trucks—produce exhaust that pollutes our air and damages our health and our children’s health.

Texas allows cities to pass their own anti-idling ordinances. Dallas and Austin already have. We want the City of Houston to pass an anti-idling ordinance to protect our health!
