20 : PennDOT's Green Plan Policy Statement
As a direct result of our commitment to assuring
adequate, safe and efficient intermodal transportation
facilities and services at reasonable cost to the citizens
of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania , the Department
of Transportation will play a leading role in the administration
of environmental responsibility. The Department will
demonstrate this leadership by committing to the following
principles relative to the planning, design, construction,
operation and maintenance of Pennsylvania 's balanced
intermodal transportation system.
Principle 1
Plan, design, build, operate and maintain a statewide
transportation system that protects the environment,
prevents pollution and uses resources efficiently.
Principle 2
Contribute to economic vitality and quality of
life by applying sound environmental management practices
which address the requirements of the public, users,
carriers, industry and labor.
Principle 3
Comply with applicable environmental legislation
and regulations.
Principle 4
Establish a program of review and continual improvement
of environmental performance which accounts for technical
and economic developments, scientific understanding,
and significant environmental impacts.
Principle 5
Establish relevant and measurable objectives which
endeavor to improve environmental performance and provide
the means to gauge progress.
Principle 6
Ensure employees understand those principles as
well as their priority, and are furnished with the
means to fulfill them.
These principles are essential elements for the
management of the Department as we enter the 21st century.
As part of a fully integrated environmental management
system, these principles should be incorporated into
the policies, programs and practices of all Department
of Transportation organizations
