Vehicle Emissions
The East Central Scotland Vehicle Emissions Partnership (VEP) is a partnership between five councils (East Lothian, Mid Lothian, West Lothian, Stirling and Falkirk Councils) which has been running since 2004 with funding provided from the Scottish Government.
The objective of the VEP is to help reduce vehicle emissions (and as a result, air pollution) by encouraging drivers to switch off their engine whenever possible. We also handle vehicle idling complaints, and provide educational resources for schools and communities. To raise awareness, we use a mix of advertising media to publicise our 'Switch Off' message and encourage a change in driving habits across the country.
For further information on the campaign just visit switchoffandbreathe.org (opens new window)
If you wish to report an idling vehicle please fill out the webform on the website giving the date/time of the idling, vehicle registration, location and how long the vehicle is idling for (anything over 5 minutes).
Switch Off and Breathe
Thank You
