The Mid-Atlantic Diesel Collaborative (MDC), in cooperation with the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 3 Office, developed this toolkit to educate school teachers and their students (5th-6th grade levels) on the importance of reducing school bus idling and air pollution caused by motor vehicles. The toolkit is designed with a culmination project where the students put what they learned into practice and develop an idle-reduction campaign at their own school. Therefore, education of the importance of reducing idling is not only limited to the students, but is transferred to school and transportation officials, the students’ families and beyond.
