Description

2-10-10: I bet the situation is the same at every dialysis site. We need a State law differentiating between "emergency" vehicles and "ambulance" taxis.

Mon-Fri, all day long. Ambulances transport patients for dialysis. They sit with engines running. Can be 6 or 8 vehicles at a time.

No changes, except no some of the ambulances park at the opposite end of the lot, west of the Rite Aid.

Hi Henry,

Is there any way you can identify the ambulance company? There may be exceptions for emergency vehicles in the idling law, and the Council team will double check on that.

When is an ambulance NOT an emergency vehicle? Maybe when it is merely transporting a patient to a pre-arranged dialysis appointment? But, I am not a lawyer.
