Comment | We would like to suggest the following, which seem simple and could provide substantial emissions savings. 1. Mandate that the cities & counties across the state all work together to coordinate traffic lights. As a freight carrier, we spend significant, nonproductive time idling. If traffic lights were coordinated, we would be more productive, run our engines less and deliver more product for less energy spent. 2. Work with truck rest stops to create cold ironing sites for trucks. This would provide a place for trucks to plug their rig in at night so they could operate their AC or cabin heater while parked over night. This item alone could save 8 hours per night of engine idle. It seems like the items above would create real health savings & productivity for the trucking industry. Thanks, Brad Wilson |
