Ottawa Bylaw and Regulatory Services issued 10 tickets for anti-idling infractions and 33 verbal warnings in 2019, 2020 and 2021.
In a motion for Wednesday's council meeting, Coun. Shawn Menard asks councillors to direct Public Policy Development Services in Emergency and Protective Services to include a comprehensive review of the anti-idling bylaw as part of the 2023-2026 Bylaw Review Work Plan.
The motion notes council declared a climate emergency in April 2019, and Environment Canada estimates air pollution from vehicle emissions contribute to 15,000 premature deaths each year in Canada through emission exhaust. The transportation committee is also recommending council ask the Ottawa Board of Health to consider developing a public education and signage campaign to reduce unnecessary idling.In May, staff outlined the exemptions for idling under Ottawa's anti-idling bylaw.Armoured vehicles
