Wolfville municipality has become the second municipality in Nova Scotia to implement an Idle-Free Bylaw. The first municipality to go Idle-Free was Kentville, implementing their idling bylaw in 2008. Wolfvilles “Idling Control Bylaw” (Bylaw 93), states that “no person shall cause or permit a vehicle to idle for more than three consecutive minutes in a sixty minute period.” Exemptions include transit vehicles picking up or letting off passengers, emergency vehicles, and work vehicles that require the engine to run for operating purposes (for example a bucket truck).
