OTTAWA, Ont. — The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has published a summary of state laws restricting vehicle idling, the CTA reports.

This list includes provisions from 18 states and the District of Columbia. The restrictions apply to all large commercial vehicles, but are only statewide in some states.

The compilation includes the citation of the statute, regulation, or ordinance under which the violation is created, but does not include the range of possible penalties, or how much jurisdictions enforce anti-idling restrictions.
