LA Metro’s Eco-Friendly Innovation in Public Transit Is Leading the Way
Los Angeles has an excellent example of green innovation in public transit. The Metro B (Red) Line’s Vermont/Santa Monica Station is the first subway station in the country to receive a Platinum LEED certification. From its energy-saving lights to water-efficient fixtures to the use of materials that are kinder to our planet – every detail at the station is designed with the environment in mind. It’s proof of Metro’s commitment to a sustainable future.
This initiative by Metro transforms how we view public transportation and sets best practices for transit authorities nationwide. It’s inspiring a movement focused on eco-friendly infrastructure.
