Idle-Free Zone for Campus Drop-Off and Pick-Up

By:

Catching a Ride?  Please turn your vehicles off, keeping our zones idle-free.

Our idle-free school zone improves the air in the immediate surroundings, and it also reduces the formation of ground-level ozone—the biggest air quality problem in Central Texas. Roughly half of the pollution sources that lead to ground level ozone come from vehicles. 

Harmful gases and small particles emitted from idling vehicles accumulate and can irritate the respiratory system for people inside and around idling vehicles.  Children are most at risk because they breathe faster than adults, taking in more air per pound of body weight, especially those with pre-existing respiratory illnesses such as asthma.
