<div dir="ltr">It's so hard to legislate courtesy and thoughtfulness. Unfortunately, the culture in this country has become one where you don't have any obligation to anyone else. I could do without idling, leaf-blowers and motorcycles with legally required emissions and sound mitigation components disabled. I'm not opposed to regulation and enforcement either, but, it won't solve all of it.<div><br></div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Oct 17, 2014 at 2:14 PM, Delgado, Mona Moller <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mona_delgado@brown.edu" target="_blank">mona_delgado@brown.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">As a biker and walker I am frustrated over the school buses idling every morning and afternoon on Hope by the Providence Center, they are there for a very long time.

According to Click & Clack, anything beyond 30 sec of idling and you have lost any gain you may have saved from fuel used by turning the car off & on again, or are people too unconcerned to be bothered by this form of noise and air pollution? Not to mention walking the gauntlet to your car, which we hope, is turned off. As one friend put it, you are getting 0 mpg while idling.</div><span><font color="#888888"><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">Paul</div></div></font></span></div>
