Hi, thanks for reporting!
Clean Air Council works with Air Management Services to target their enforcement efforts of Philadelphia's anti-idling law. Unfortunately there is an exemption in the law for ambulances, so AMS cannot ticket these ambulances. People have tried talking with the ambulance drivers and their companies when this has come up in the past to varying degrees of success. You could try asking them to only idle when they need to, and not on breaks, etc. Thanks for your help with this important issue, please continue to report other idling that you see.

If a bus, large commercial truck or construction equipment is observed to be running its engine while stationary, please contact the Air Management Services Unit at 215-685-7580.
For all other vehicles, (cars, pickup trucks, vans, motorcycles, etc.), please report them to the Police Department at 911. Thank you. (mb)
