The American Transportation Research Institute has issued updates of two documents relating environmental practices in trucking.

The ATRI Sustainable Freight Practices Compendium provides information on sustainable freight practices that can be implemented by motor carriers and their drivers. The compendium also identifies how public sector practices such as congestion mitigation, research and testing, and the use of incentives can advance sustainable freight goals. ATRI has updated all three sections of its Sustainable Freight Practices Compendium – Driver, Vehicle, and Public Sector – with the latest research and data.

In addition, ATRI has updated its online compendium of the various state and local idling regulations that limit how long commercial vehicles may idle. ATRI continues to monitor the development of idling regulations across the country and provides the compendium as a free service to help trucking companies and truck drivers comply with the myriad state and local idling requirements.
