  4. Idle Off Q+A
  5. Is this enforced or monitored?
Does idling for just a minute really matter? Why is the school or centre involved? Is this about climate change I drive a low-emissions, hybrid, or electric car. Does it mattter? Resarting the engine uses more fuel than idling right? My one car doesn't make a difference What about buses, tradies, or delivery vehicles? What about hot or cold days? I need to run the air conditioning for my other kids in the car Is this enforced or monitored? This feels like blaming parents or a "nanny state"

Is this enforced or monitored?

Answer

No. Idle Off is an awareness and education initiative, not an enforcement program. There are no fines or penalties, just friendly reminders and shared responsibility.
