The American Transportation Research Institute (ATRI) today announced that the latest version of its Idling Regulations Compendium is now available online at www.atri-online.org.  Since first publishing the compendium in 2003, ATRI has distributed over 50,000 copies to truck drivers and motor carriers alike.

Designed to help truck drivers reduce idling and comply with idling regulations throughout the United States, the compendium identifies 34 different state, district, county and city regulations that establish idle limits for commercial vehicles. Maximum idling limits and fines are listed, as well as specific exemptions. In addition to the online compendium, ATRI provides the information on a cab card which is designed to be printed, folded and kept conveniently by drivers in the cab of the truck.

“Information in the compendium is clear, concise and comprehensive,” said Rebecca Brewster, ATRI President and COO, “and is an excellent resource for motor carriers and drivers that operate in the identified jurisdictions.”

To obtain a copy of the compendium and cab card, free of charge, visit ATRI online at http://www.atri-online.org.

ATRI is the trucking industry’s 501(c)(3) not-for-profit research organization. It is engaged in critical research relating to freight transportation’s essential role in maintaining a safe, secure and efficient transportation system.
