Phoenix Sky Harbor set a global milestone last year (see photo), becoming the first airport in the world to offer travelers the ability to take a Waymo autonomous zero emission vehicle as a means of transportation to and from the airport. Today, Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego kicked off the three-day conference sharing another innovative sustainability milestone demonstrating Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport\u2019s commitment to being a leader in the industry with sustainable solutions to improve the passenger experience \u2013 the new Green Curb program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The airport\u2019s Green Curb will provide rideshare riders with\na conveniently located pick-up area with unique signage and markings, making\nelectric vehicle pickup locations easily visible at both terminals. Earlier\nthis summer, Uber announced they would pass on airport allocated savings to\ncustomers by offering them a 40 percent discount on airport pick up and drop\noff fees when they selected Uber\u2019s electric rides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPhoenix Sky Harbor International Airport is a leader in\nsustainability, and with innovative ideas and partnerships we have with Uber\nand Waymo, we are consistently pushing the envelope to ensure our airport\nremains on the cutting edge of every aspect of the passenger experience,\u201d Mayor\nGallego said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The airport developed a Roadmap to Net Zero Carbon that\nidentifies the short-, medium- and long-term strategies for Phoenix Sky Harbor\nto reach the goal of net zero carbon by 2040. This goal is defined by an\nabsolute reduction of carbon emissions by at least 90 percent from a 2010\nbaseline with no more than 10 percent of emissions eliminated through carbon\nremoval technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2010, Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport has\nalready reduced annual carbon emissions by 34 percent through energy\nconservation measures and other initiatives despite growth and expansion.\nFocusing on being future-friendly, the airport continues to find ways to work\nwith airport partners to reduce the impact on the environment in collaboration\nand innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
