TriMet expects to avoid more than 54 million pounds of greenhouse gas emissions in a years’ time. That’s the equivalent of taking more than 5,300 cars off the road.
“At TriMet, we’re part of the solution to climate change, reducing the region’s carbon emissions through providing quality transit service and by taking important steps, such as supporting 100% renewable energy, that reduce our own carbon footprint,” said TriMet interim General Manager Sam Desue, Jr. “It’s a win-win for our environment.”
