Purchase, operate and maintain alternatively-fueled, electric, and hybrid vehicles.
Automobiles contribute a significant amount of CO2 emissions into the atmosphere each year. Airports should strive to promote the use of alternative transportation options for both staff, passengers, and contractors. Encouraging users to carpool will help to reduce impacts on the environment and demand for on-site parking options. Carsharing programs are enhanced when multiple incentives, such as preferred parking, discounts, or ride-share boards/services, are offered.
