Take Action
Every month, we introduce a featured set of action that will help you be more sustainable.
Of course, the best action you can take is to join us now and get certified!
Stop idling
It is recommended to turn off vehicles that are idling for 10 seconds or more; 10 seconds of idling uses more fuel than turning the car off and restarting it. Summit County has issued a voluntary anti-idling ordinance with a 3-minute limit on idling. Park City has issued a mandatory anti-idling ordinance with a 1-minute limit of vehicle idling. More information here.
Community Open House
All are invited to attend a community open house on incentivizing affordable housing and reducing single-occupancy vehicles on Tuesday, February 27, at 5:30 pm at the DoubleTree by Hilton. Park City’s consultants will present their findings on potential Land Management Code amendments and Alta Planning + Design will also be on hand to discuss the plan for an improved active transportation network comprehensively.
