What measures does SEPTA take for environmental sustainability?

SEPTA actively embraces environmental sustainability by implementing initiatives such as electric vehicles and energy-efficient operations. This approach aligns with broader efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve air quality. Electric vehicles produce zero tailpipe emissions, representing a significant step forward in minimizing the environmental impact of public transportation. Additionally, energy-efficient operations, including the use of renewable energy sources, help decrease the overall carbon footprint of SEPTA's services. These sustainable practices not only contribute to a healthier environment but also demonstrate a commitment to innovation in public transit, encouraging more people to use public transportation rather than private vehicles.
