A Little Greener Next Year

There are a number of Green Transportation programs developing across the country. To some extent they started with the LEEDs program and worked to adapt the system to the transportation field. Here are a few of those programs:

University of Washington's Greenroads program. See powerpoint presentation for overview.

New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) Greenlites program

American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Green Highways Program
ASCE - Announcing a Sustainable Infrastructure Rating System

A great New Year's Resolution would be to learn more about these programs and try to integrate these practices into our future projects. New Engineers, knowledge of sustainable engineering praqctices is a great opportunity to distinguish yourself.

  1. My apologies for the dead link to the ASCE site today. Their entire site appears to be closed for repair. Hopefully the link will be restored shortly.
