in New York City. This practice violates municipal laws that limit idling to three minutes, except at schools where the maximum is one minute.
These bus companies have a history of disregarding idling laws, according to James. In the past, they had agreed to comply with the regulations and train staff, she said. The attorney general's office shared data from the past three academic years collected by Geotab, a monitoring system installed on buses by the education department that tracks idling, showing the bus companies idled for periods that exceeded the law.
“The scope of harm done by the companies is substantial. It’s widespread, and it’s persistent,” James said in front of P.S. K140 school in Brooklyn today. “We are seeking justice for all communities that have to breathe this dirty air.” Between September and December of 2019, one Jofaz school bus idled 82 different times for more than 10 minutes, often multiple times per day at their bus yard in Red Hook, according to the suit. That site is located one block from Red Hook Houses, a public housing development in Brooklyn with more than 6,000 residents.
They do it everywhere. I see them sitting in the parking lots at NYS parks on Long Island, running their engines for heat or air. What are they even doing there? Also. Today I saw one bellowing black exhaust as it passed me on the road. No emissions standards for these vehicles?
