NY Metropolitan Transportation Authority reduces CO2
27th April 20115 Comments
On April 22, 2011 the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) announced that its operations reduced carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions by 16.6 million metric tons in 2009. At the same time, the MTA reduced its own carbon output by 2.5% per passenger mile traveled or 1% in aggregate over the prior year, according to an outside audit.
Measuring its carbon footprint under the auspices of The Climate Registry allows the MTA to prepare for future regulation, identify inefficiencies and potential for cost savings, and provide real and meaningful data to the public about environmental performance. It is a step toward reducing energy use, energy-related costs and carbon emissions.
The annual emissions figure was verified by an audit of 2009 emissions conducted by LRQA Americas Sustainability, Inc. An audit of 2010 emissions is now underway. “It’s clear that the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority has made lowering its emissions one of its top priorities,” said Ryan Schauland, Technical Specialist at LRQA Americas Sustainability, Inc. and Lead Verifier of the MTA’s 2009 greenhouse gas inventory.
