2020-2021 Sustainability Report
Metro is advancing renewable energy, making it easier to access and ride the system, and expanding opportunities for small businesses. Read about these sustainability projects and more in our new report.
2025 Energy Action Plan
Metro is implementing its first ever Energy Action Plan to reduce the Authority's energy use, contain operating costs, and help the region move forward sustainably. This Plan is central to transforming the way Metro does business to rebuild for the future.
Solar Carports Project
Metro signed a deal to host solar panels at its stations - enough to power over 1250 single-family homes. This is the largest community solar project in the National Capital Area and one of the largest in the nation.
Climate Bonds
Our first Certified Climate Bonds were just issued and will support our planned capital investments in clean energy, energy efficiency, and climate resiliency.
Zero-Emission Buses
Metro is transitioning to a 100% zero-emission bus fleet by 2045. This will improve regional air quality, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and provide customers with a quieter, comfier ride.
Equity in Transit
The communities we serve are stronger and healthier when everyone has access to reliable, affordable, and sustainable transportation. Metro has renewed its focus on advancing transit and social equity across our business.
