NYC Council is considering a bill that would weaken the city's idling enforcement program by adding exemptions and reducing payments to citizen reporters. Our Alex Camarda warns: “That will ultimately result in more idling and more air pollution.” buff.ly/KxQ6Ie9

City Council weighs changes to idling complaint program

It would allow more exemptions from idling enforcement and lower the complainant payout from 25% of the fine collected to a flat fee of $125.

We need clean air, not corporate lobbyists' wishlists! That's the message 25 environmental and civic groups delivered yesterday to @SpeakerMenin and the @NYCCouncil--reject Intro. 561-A and stop harming our air. Thanks to @NYLPI @NRDC for their powerful testimony as well!

Huge show of solidarity by clean air advocates at the council hearings of a law that would gut the idling program. It lasted until 4:45 pm ! Really uplifting. @NY_Clean_Air

Twenty-five environmental & civic groups are standing together to oppose the deadly bill Intro. 561-A that @SpeakerMenin is insisting get a hearing this Tuesday. This is the same move @Josh4Jersey is trying in Congress: poison New York's kids for corporate $$$. @AOC @NYCMayor

Ordinary New Yorkers and @NYCWater teamed up to make Amazon pay up for polluting our City. But now @SpeakerMenin wants to force this administration to give polluters a $60-$200 million hand out and free pass to pollute our air. nycair.org/memo
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani
@NYCMayorMay 22
Amazon is worth $2 trillion. But it didn't deign to pay the millions of dollars it racked up in unpaid fines as its’ trucks illegally polluted our air and forced New Yorkers to breathe in their exhaust.  
We collected every dollar they owe the people of this city — and will continue to hold them accountable. In New York, corporations are held to the same standard as everyone else.  
No company — no matter how large or powerful — is above the law.
An AMNY headline with a photo of Mayor Mamdani reads: Mamdani administration says it recovered more than $9M in Amazon idling fines.

It is WILD to me that the most effective & moneymaking way that NYC has to clean up the city's air is about to be undercut by our own city government. Please @SpeakerMenin do what is best for our city and keep the Citizens Idling Program. @CMCrystalHudson @OsseChi

After more than 350,000 successful civilian-generated idling tickets, this program really works! But will @NYCMayor stand up to defend our air against the trucking lobby? Intro. 561-A is up for hearing NEXT WEEK and the silence from @NYCWater is deafening.

Thank you for this wonderful campaign to promote the hugely successful Citizens Air Complaint Program. It's a real shame Speaker Menin is listening the truck and bus lobbyists who want to kill it... nycair.org/memo

New York City has one of the highest rates of childhood asthma in the country. The BUSES Act would directly target New York's bus idling restrictions. If Republicans want this for their kids, that's their business. But I will not allow this to be done to mine.

The city is allowing bus and trucking companies to skirt fines for alleged citizen-issued idling violations by rescheduling the hearings for those violations in perpetuity, a top government watchdog charged on Wednesday. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/08/…

Watchdog: Corporate Polluters Are Using Loophole to Avoid City Idling Fines - Streetsblog New York...

A new report calls on the city to crack down on companies who endlessly reschedule trial hearings to avoid anti-idling fines.
