Environment

The T helps protect our natural resources by providing an alternative to the automobile for over one million people every day and we believe we have an opportunity and a responsibility to do more for the environment.

Working collaboratively with the Environmental Protection Agency grant program, we're working on a first-in-the-nation pilot project to develop a model for locomotive engine pollution control devices and our efforts to develop an Environmental Management System have received national recognition and serve as our platform to identify new opportunities to reduce, reuse and recycle.

We're working on environmentally friendly T-Projects everyday, and making enormous environmental strides-retiring our oldest diesel busses, replacing them with hundreds of new CNG busses and reducing the average age of our busses from 14 to just 4 years.

We'll publish regular updates to important environmental interest topics like the Readville 5-Yard Clean Up Plan, the MBTA Groundwater Action Plan, the T Environmental Policy and our annual Transit Commitments status reports - published in accordance with the Department of Environmental Protection.

View T-Projects to learn about the Greenbush Project, the Silverline Project, Fairmont Station Project and other projects designed to provide better transit service and a cleaner environment.
