None
Does the institution have policies and/or guidelines in place to improve outdoor air quality and minimize air pollutant emissions from mobile sources?:
Yes
None
A brief description of the policies and/or guidelines to improve outdoor air quality and minimize air pollutant emissions from mobile sources:
UWG has issued a no idling policy memo directing employees to not allow university vehicles to sit idling unless necessary for safety or operational purposes. This memo is considered “policy” until a formal document can be developed and published.
Unnecessary vehicle idling has an impact on fuel costs, maintenance costs, air quality, and carbon emissions.
Department heads that operate UWG vehicles are authorized and encouraged to develop their own standards that qualify their “operational purposes.” Such standards may include passenger comfort or engine performance.
