Funding aims to cut transportation emissions

C&S Engineers of Salina and New West Technologies of Utica were among 10 organizations to receive state funding aimed at reducing transportation-related greenhouse gas emissions.

C&S received $150,000 to partially fund the Transportation Demand Management Program for St. Joseph’s Hospital Health Center, an employer-based program to promote carpools, vanpools or other energy-efficient transportation alternatives. New West received $75,000 to study the possibility of electrifying a portion of the state Canal Corp.’s fleet of 70 boats, which are used to maintain canal operations.

Statewide, the New York Department of Transportation and the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority invested a combined total of $1.1 million in the 10 projects.

“Transportation accounts for 75 percent of the oil consumed in the United States, and is responsible for 40 percent of the greenhouse gases produced,” NYSERDA President and CEO Francis Murray said in a news release. “The research these organizations conduct will help shrink the environmental impact of this vital sector.”
