How we are leading by example
What we know
We have an opportunity to lead by example by showing a commitment to sustainability in our operations. We do this by setting goals in areas of our operations including fleet, facilities, highway operations, and roadside vegetation. For example, we are adding electric vehicles to the fleet and installing electric vehicle chargers to support the fleet transition. For more details, see the annual sustainability report.
Why this is important
Actions we take to improve the efficiency and sustainability of our operations can save money for taxpayers, improve air quality and public health, and support a healthy economy.
