(iv) public health; 
(v) environment; and 
(vi) energy; 
(D) maximize bicycle facility investments; 
(E) demonstrate methods that may be used in other 
regions of the United States; and 
(F) facilitate the continuation of ongoing programs that 
are sustained by local resources. 
(3) COST SHARING.—At least 20 percent of the cost of each 
pilot project described in paragraph (1) shall be provided from 
non-Federal sources. 
(d) ENERGY AND BICYCLING RESEARCH STUDY.— 
(1) IN GENERAL.—Not later than 2 years after the date 
of enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall enter into a con-
tract with the National Academy of Sciences for, and the 
National Academy of Sciences shall conduct and submit to 
Congress a report on, a study on the feasibility of converting 
motor vehicle trips to bicycle trips. 
(2) COMPONENTS.—The study shall— 
(A) document the results or progress of the pilot 
projects under subsection (c); 
(B) determine the type and duration of motor vehicle 
trips that people in the United States may feasibly make 
by bicycle, taking into consideration factors such as— 
(i) weather; 
(ii) land use and traffic patterns; 
(iii) the carrying capacity of bicycles; and 
(iv) bicycle infrastructure; 
(C) determine any energy savings that would result 
from the conversion of motor vehicle trips to bicycle trips; 
(D) include a cost-benefit analysis of bicycle infrastruc-
ture investments; and 
(E) include a description of any factors that would 
encourage more motor vehicle trips to be replaced with 
bicycle trips. 
(e) AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS.—There is authorized 
to be appropriated to the Secretary to carry out this section 
$6,200,000, to remain available until expended, of which— 
(1) $5,150,000 shall be used to carry out pilot projects 
described in subsection (c); 
(2) $300,000 shall be used by the Secretary to coordinate, 
publicize, and disseminate the results of the program; and 
(3) $750,000 shall be used to carry out subsection (d). 
SEC. 756. REDUCTION OF ENGINE IDLING. 
(a) DEFINITIONS.—In this section: 
(1) ADMINISTRATOR.—The term ‘‘Administrator’’ means the 
Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency. 
(2) ADVANCED TRUCK STOP ELECTRIFICATION SYSTEM.—The 
term ‘‘advanced truck stop electrification system’’ means a sta-
tionary system that delivers heat, air conditioning, electricity, 
or communications, and is capable of providing verifiable and 
auditable evidence of use of those services, to a heavy-duty 
vehicle and any occupants of the heavy-duty vehicle with or
H. R. 6—237
without relying on components mounted onboard the heavy-
duty vehicle for delivery of those services. 
(3) AUXILIARY
POWER
UNIT.—The term ‘‘auxiliary power 
unit’’ means an integrated system that— 
(A) provides heat, air conditioning, engine warming, 
or electricity to components on a heavy-duty vehicle; and 
(B) is certified by the Administrator under part 89 
of title 40, Code of Federal Regulations (or any successor 
regulation), as meeting applicable emission standards. 
(4) HEAVY-DUTY VEHICLE.—The term ‘‘heavy-duty vehicle’’ 
means a vehicle that— 
(A) has a gross vehicle weight rating greater than 
8,500 pounds; and 
(B) is powered by a diesel engine. 
(5) IDLE REDUCTION TECHNOLOGY.—The term ‘‘idle reduc-
tion technology’’ means an advanced truck stop electrification 
system, auxiliary power unit, or other technology that— 
(A) is used to reduce long-duration idling; and 
(B) allows for the main drive engine or auxiliary refrig-
eration engine to be shut down. 
(6) ENERGY CONSERVATION TECHNOLOGY.—the term ‘‘energy 
conservation technology’’ means any device, system of devices, 
or equipment that improves the fuel economy. 
(7) LONG-DURATION IDLING.— 
(A) IN
GENERAL.—The term ‘‘long-duration idling’’ 
means the operation of a main drive engine or auxiliary 
refrigeration engine, for a period greater than 15 consecu-
tive minutes, at a time at which the main drive engine 
is not engaged in gear. 
(B) EXCLUSIONS.—The term ‘‘long-duration idling’’ does 
not include the operation of a main drive engine or auxil-
iary refrigeration engine during a routine stoppage associ-
ated with traffic movement or congestion. 
(b) IDLE REDUCTION TECHNOLOGY BENEFITS, PROGRAMS, AND 
STUDIES.— 
(1) IN GENERAL.—Not later than 90 days after the date 
of enactment of this Act, the Administrator shall— 
(A)(i) commence a review of the mobile source air emis-
sion models of the Environmental Protection Agency used 
under the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq.) to deter-
mine whether the models accurately reflect the emissions 
resulting from long-duration idling of heavy-duty vehicles 
and other vehicles and engines; and 
(ii) update those models as the Administrator deter-
mines to be appropriate; and 
(B)(i) commence a review of the emission reductions 
achieved by the use of idle reduction technology; and 
(ii) complete such revisions of the regulations and guid-
ance of the Environmental Protection Agency as the 
Administrator determines to be appropriate. 
(2) DEADLINE FOR COMPLETION.—Not later than 180 days 
after the date of enactment of this Act, the Administrator 
shall— 
(A) complete the reviews under subparagraphs (A)(i) 
and (B)(i) of paragraph (1); and
