The Colorado Convention Center has teamed up with the City and County of Denver to create the pilot program, “Engines OFF!” in effort to reduce idling of commercial vehicles around the City.
Clean air is one of the main reasons visitors choose Denver as a destination, so it is important to protect this important asset. Motor coaches, semi trucks, vendor and general contractor vehicles typically idle far longer than the current 10 minute City idling ordinance, contributing up to 25 – 40% of Denver’s “brown cloud.”
With the increased attention on reducing greenhouse gases and their effects on our environment, now is the time to protect our air! We have asked vendors to take the Idling Reduction Pledge to show their commitment to reducing idling in effort to improve Denver’s Air Quality.
