    No idling from diesel trucks and buses? No enforcement, a WBEZ and Sun-Times investigation finds

    A WBEZ and Sun-Times investigation found that Chicago-area law enforcement agencies have issued only two citations for diesel truck and bus idling violations in nearly 20 years, despite a 2006 state law limiting idling to 10 minutes per hour. Residents, like Amy Eickhoff, report persistent noxious fumes from idling buses near downtown Chicago buildings, raising concerns about health impacts from diesel pollution, which disproportionately affects marginalized communities.
