Heavy-duty diesel trucks and buses operating in Anaheim, including the Resort and Platinum Triangle districts, must obey California's five-minute idling limit, with school-zone idling further restricted under state law.
Anaheim does not have a stand-alone idling ordinance; instead, California Air Resources Board rules under 13 CCR §2485 apply citywide and are enforced jointly by APD traffic units, AQMD, and CHP. Diesel-fueled commercial vehicles over 10,000 pounds may not idle for more than five minutes at any location, including the Anaheim Resort, Convention Center loading docks, and Honda Center events. Buses near schools face stricter rules under Title 13 §2480. Tour bus and shuttle operators in the Disneyland area receive periodic enforcement sweeps.
Citations under state idling rules carry fines starting around three hundred dollars per occurrence, escalate for repeat offenders, and may be stacked with parking enforcement penalties in the Resort district.
