3.2. Public transit
3.2.2. Montréal's public transit system (cont'd)
• As of June 2008, the entire STM fleet runs on biodiesel fuel, thereby reducing its GHG emissions in 2008
alone by over 3,500 tons, or the equivalent of 600 cars driving 20,000 km per year.
• The STM received the Special Merit Award for Commitment to the Environment at the 2010 London
MetroRail international conference. The award recognizes the STM’s leadership in terms of sustainable
development and its strategic positioning of mass transit as a smart environmental choice for citizens.
• At the 2010 Annual Meeting of the American Public Transportation Association (APTA), the STM won the
association’s Outstanding Public Transportation System Achievement Award for the outstanding progress
it made between 2007 and 2009 in terms of efficiency and effectiveness.
• Montréal’s subway system is considered to have one of the smallest carbon footprints of any system in the
world.
