What SEPTA is Doing to Make Public Transportation Even More Sustainable

[sha...@dvarp.org]

Hi all,

 

For those of you who haven't already seen SEPTA's SEP-TAinability presentation, I'm forwarding a PDF copy. I'm impressed with SEPTA's sustainability practices, including implementing regenerative braking on the Market-Frankford El to conserve (and possibly even sell back) electricity, making all of the El and Broad Street Subway stops recycling accessible, and renovating Regional Rail's Fox Chase Station to conform to the USGBC's LEED Silver classification. See what SEPTA's doing in the attached PDF.

 

What are your thoughts?
