Toronto Police Launch Anti-Idling Blitz

Motorists leaving their cars running while they're parked could be in for an expensive surprise this week.

Toronto Police have launched a five-day traffic blitz on idling in the city in an attempt to improve air quality throughout the GTA. Idling is thought to be a big contributor to smog.

That means anyone caught leaving their engine on for more than three minutes can be fined up to $100 plus a $25 surcharge.
