Diesel-powered vehicles may no longer idle for more than three minutes unless it&#8217;s very cold out, or they are picking up or discharging passengers &#8211; and even then they can idle for no longer than 15 minutes. There are a few exceptions &#8211; notably truckers using sleeper berths. They will be able to idle to power heating and cooling systems until May 1, 2010, but after that alternate power sources must be used.<\/p>\n<p>I hope New Jersey&#8217;s initiative starts a movement across the country.
