Campus parking
Are you driving to campus? There is a range of parking locations available.
Idle-free campus
One of TRU's goals is to reduce unnecessary air emissions. Idle-free zones help achieve this goal.
In general, vehicles should never be left idling. Extensive research has shown that engine warm-ups should not last more than 10 seconds under average air temperatures (in extreme cold weather, a one-minute warm-up is appropriate). The best way to warm up a vehicle is to drive it gently to start with. Of course, windshields should be clear of frost for safe driving conditions.
- When checking emails and texts, do so before turning on your engine.
- Idling can increase maintenance costs due to a build-up of carbon in the engine.
- Idling wastes fuel, which costs money.
- The myth about damaging your starter by turning a car on and off more frequently is just that — a myth.
