Idle Free Resources

Requesting Idle Free Signage

Salt Lake City has a limited number of Idle-Free signs to distribute to schools and businesses within city limits. To request a sign, email [email protected].

Please contact Utah Clean Cities for Idle-Free signs and resources if you are outside the Salt Lake City boundaries.

Breathe Utah also has Idle-Free resources, including an Air Quality Curriculum guide that can be used by teachers in bringing idle-free awareness to their schools.

Do you have an idling complaint about a location in Salt Lake City which has pervasive idling? Fill out the Parking Illegally request on mySLC.


Addressing an Idling Vehicle

Education is a vital part of being an idle-free city. If you are able to talk to the owner of an idling vehicle, please ask them to turn off their vehicle until they are ready to drive.

  • Print this handout to share (with a smile!) when addressing an idling vehicle operator.
  • Here is a sample conversation you can use to kindly ask the operator of an idling vehicle to “turn your key, be idle free.”
  • To request “turn your key, be idle free” window decals, please email [email protected]

Report an Idling Vehicle

Salt Lake City Compliance Officers are available to educate and enforce the Idle Free Ordinance.

Report an idling vehicle in real time online or by calling (801) 535-6628

Salt Lake City Urban Services Parking hours are Mon – Sat 7:00 am – 11:00 pm and Sun 7:00 am – 3:00 pm.


Idle Free Utah

Unnecessary vehicle idling affects lungs all across Utah. Please contact Utah Clean Cities if you are interested in helping your community — outside of Salt Lake City limits — be idle free.

Salt Lake City thanks the Utah Clean Air Partnership (UCAIR) for their generous support of Idle Free!
