California Air Resources Board rules limit heavy-duty diesel vehicle idling to five minutes statewide, so trucks delivering to Moorpark commercial sites, schools, and Underwood Family Farms must shut down rather than idle longer.
Title 13 California Code of Regulations Section 2485 prohibits commercial motor vehicles over 10,000 pounds gross vehicle weight from idling more than five minutes at any location. The rule applies to trucks at loading docks, school zones, and roadside stops within 100 feet of homes or schools. Moorpark school zones around Moorpark High, Arroyo Vista Elementary, and Mountain Meadows Elementary are common enforcement points. CARB enforces the rule, but local code enforcement and Ventura County Sheriff deputies can refer violations. Tour buses and delivery fleets face progressive penalties.
CARB penalty schedule starts at $300 minimum per violation. Repeat offenders or fleets can face escalating fines and required compliance training under CARB enforcement programs.
