Brian Deis April 15 at 4:15am To all the sustainability folks out there to include my engineering friends, I challenge you to come up with a solution to Louisville's idling engine problem. Specifically the city's very own fleet of vehicles to include ambulances, police cruisers, etc. the policy as of present is that they are to always run while on a shift due to temperature control necessities and the possibility of the engine not starting when dispatched on a run due to poor maintenance or otherwise malfunction. The carbon footprint from the city's fleet of vehicles alone must be significant by the sheer scale of vehicles that are operational on a daily basis. I would presume that the heat island effect would be greatly reduced simply by eliminating the constant running of official vehicle engines while on duty. So potential solutions: electronic assist idle elimination, more efficient generation devices while they idle for equipment and climate control, better infrastructure for vehicles while standing by in their "quarters" awaiting dispatch, something innovative that isn't obvious that sustainability minded individuals can implement at a policy level. I want to improve Louisville's air quality in every way imaginable. #EPA #APCD #airquality #react Erica Peterson 89.3 WFPL News Louisville , Josh M Wilcox , Jackie Green , James Bruggers , Ben Evans , Mayor Greg Fischer , Cheri Bryant Hamilton , Councilwoman Jessica Green- District 1 , Eboni Nc You can now tag your friends in your status or post.
