As highlighted by WRRV in their article, “Is Car Idling Legal in New York State?”, many drivers leave their cars running to warm up in winter, cool down in summer, or while making quick stops—but is it actually legal?

Idling, or keeping a vehicle’s engine running while parked, contributes to fuel waste, increased emissions, and harmful pollution.

While some idling is unavoidable, New York State has strict regulations to minimize unnecessary vehicle emissions.
