ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY
The Department of Capital Program Management (CPM) is committed to
the safe design, management, construction, and renovation of MTA New
York City Transit's subway and bus facilities and equipment. The safety
of our employees, customers, and contractors, and protection of the
environment are among our highest priorities.
In compliance with NYC Transit's Environmental Management Policy and
Program, CPM will establish, implement, and maintain an Environmental
Management System (EMS) that conforms to the ISO 14001 EMS Standard,
and provides a disciplined framework within which we will fulfill our
environmental responsibilities and continually improve our environmental
performance.
In this endeavor, we will:
- Consider actual and potential environmental aspects and impacts
of our operations and activities at all stages of our projects.
- Set EMS objectives and targets, and review them periodically to
enhance our EMS and environmental performance.
- Establish environmental procedures and programs that include: preventing
pollution, conserving resources, and practicing sustainable development
amidst continuing climate change.
- Adhere to applicable environmental laws and regulations, in addition
to our voluntary environmental commitments.
- Exercise utmost diligence in order to minimize or, if possible,
remove adverse environmental effects our projects might have on employees,
contractors, customers, communities where our projects are located,
and on the global environment.
- Document, implement, and maintain our EMS.
- Convey our EMS and environmental policy to all CPM employees,
to others working on our behalf, and to the public
- Share our experience and expertise with other MTA and City agencies.
- Support the efforts of the MTA, New York City, and New York State
regarding energy conservation, carbon footprint reduction, environmentally
preferable procurement and waste minimization, water conservation,
sustainable design and construction of facilities, and transit-oriented
development
