As we plan and provide high capacity transit for the Central Puget Sound region, Sound Transit is committed to the protection of the environment for present and future generations. We work to integrate the following principles into our daily business practices:
- Avoiding environmental degradation by minimizing releases, preventing pollution and conserving resources;
- Continual improvement of environmental performance through innovation and self-assessment;
- Restoration through mitigation, corrective action and monitoring; and
- Increasing awareness of the environmental benefits of transit through education of our employees, the public, and our transit partners.
