California Air Resources Board (CARB) Title 13 §2485 prohibits idling of commercial diesel vehicles over 10,000 lbs GVWR for more than 5 minutes anywhere in the state, including Delano. SJVAPCD enforces locally.
Exceptions exist for stuck-in-traffic, queuing at scales, and operator sleeper-berth use. School-bus idling within 100 feet of a school is also prohibited under CCR §2480. Delano's location in the San Joaquin Valley Air Basin — a federal nonattainment area for PM2.5 and ozone — makes diesel-idling enforcement a public-health priority.
Minimum $300 fine for first offense; up to $1,000 for repeat violations.
