Prohibiting Idling
Knox College recognizes that idling vehicles waste money and contribute to localized air pollution and global carbon emissions. Gasoline is quickly consumed while idling a vehicle (for every two minutes idling an engine, the same amount of fuel used to drive one mile is burned). Knox College prohibits campus vehicles and discourages other vehicles from idling while on the campus, except when necessary for certain circumstances (e.g. buses may turn on engines up to 15 minutes before passengers board).
