Sustainability
Did you know? By taking Metro, you help keep the region’s air clean, improve quality of life, and benefit public health across the region.
Taking Metro is more energy-efficient than driving a car. Last year, Metro customers rode 760,000,000 miles on bus and rail. That's the same distance as driving to the moon and back 1,590 times. By using simple math, if you take Metro for those many miles instead of driving, approximately 240,000 metric tons of tailpipe emissions were avoided in 2022 alone.
