On September 1, 2021, Governor Cox signed the 14th Annual Anniversary Idle Free Declaration with over 70 City Mayors signing, all recognizing and establishing the importance of Idle Free practices.
UCCC continues working with communities to encourage drivers to turn off their vehicles when idling for more than 10 seconds. In recent years, the Idle Free campaign has been incorporated and adapted by other organizations—including cities, schools, businesses and air quality organizations. UCCC has also enjoyed working with groups outside the state, including other Clean Cities Network coalitions, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Argonne National Laboratory.
