NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- An airline industry trade organization on Monday forecast Passenger Traffic to decline during the Labor Day weekend by nearly 6% from a year ago to 16 million. The projected decline includes a 6.5% drop in domestic travel and a 1% increase in international travel, the Air Transport Association of America said in a release. "We expect airplanes to be less full and skies to be less crowded this Labor Day holiday," said ATA President and CEO James May. "Economic uncertainty and the heavy hit from sky-high energy prices mean that many vacation and business travelers are choosing to stay closer to home - if they go at all."

By SUSAN SCHROCK ARLINGTON — One key to reducing ozone pollution is to turn off heavy-duty diesel vehicles whenever possible, city officials said. The Arlington City Council approved an ordinance last week that restricts how long vehicles that weigh over 14,000 pounds, such as tractor-trailers and buses, can idle if they are not in Traffic, keeping passengers comfortable or performing critical job functions. The city targeted heavy-duty diesel vehicles because they produce roughly 15 times more emissions than light-duty gasoline vehicles, chief transportation planner Alicia Winkelblech said. Why the ordinance City officials said the ordinance’s goal is to raise awareness about ways to reduce Air pollution. Arlington’s ordinance, which still requires a second vote, would be in effect between April 1 and Oct. 31 each year, which is typically when ozone pollution levels are highest. A large percentage of North Texas’s ozone pollution comes from vehicle and construction equipment, and the region has not been able to meet federal ozone standards for decades, officials said. Participating in the region’s Air-quality initiative will enhance the city’s eligibility for transportation-related grants, officials said. Who will be affected Heavy-duty diesel vehicles will not be allowed to idle longer than five minutes. These include school and Passenger buses, garbage trucks, dump trucks, tractor-trailers, and fuel and beverage delivery trucks ...
