The American Transportation Research Institute (ATRI) has published newly updated versions of its Sustainability and Idling Regulations Compendiums. These refreshed guides are tailored to help motor carriers, truck drivers, and the industry at large navigate sustainability strategies and idling laws more effectively.
Sustainable Freight Practices Compendium: What’s New
First introduced in 2014, ATRI’s Sustainable Freight Practices Compendium serves as a comprehensive reference for adopting greener freight operations. The latest updates cover three central areas:
- Driver: Actionable steps truckers can take to lower fuel use and support sustainability goals.
- Vehicle: Current data and solutions on vehicles and equipment that improve efficiency and cut emissions.
- Public Sector: How government measures—like congestion relief, new research, and incentive programs—further promote sustainable practices.
All three segments are now updated with fresh research and data, giving industry professionals direct paths to more sustainable operations.
The Idling Regulations Compendium: Staying Compliant
ATRI continues its decades-long effort to track and update information on idling rules for commercial vehicles. The compendium, free to access, compiles diverse state and local regulations that govern how long trucks may idle, helping carriers and drivers avoid compliance pitfalls.
ATRI continues to monitor the development of idling regulations across the country and provides the compendium as a free service to help trucking companies and truck drivers comply with the myriad state and local idling regulations.
Staying up to date with these rules not only helps fleets steer clear of fines but also supports environmental responsibility.
