2009

Just a few of our partners who will be attending: Why New York? New York requires no introduction. As the most populous city in the United States, New York is a leading global city, exerting a powerful influence over worldwide commerce, finance, culture, and entertainment. Equally important, New York City's Mass Transit System is the largest in North America. In fact, most New Yorkers do not even own a personal vehicle and as a result the carbon footprint of every individual is much lower then the national average. The MTA has taken pride in being a leader in the sustainability movement, and will continue doing so. Please click here for more information regarding MTA Sustainability Initiatives. Program Information The Summer 2009 Workshop in New York City will include a number of presentations by public agencies and private companies that will be extremely useful in gaining an appreciation for sustainable practices, resource management and other environmental programs. We will be having site tours (including Stillwell Avenue Terminal, Corona Maintenance Facility and the WTC Site) that will enable you to view these practices first hand. Included in the price for registration, we will also be having a reception at the world reknown New York City Transit Museum. Not to mention that every participant will receive a free metrocard, making sure that MTA is always going your way. Social Events New York is a vibrant city, filled with so many things to do. In appreciation of that, we are offering those who attend the Summer Workshop with discounted Broadway Shows and guidance to other attractions throughout NYC. In fact, it is expected that many summer events that will be taking place this year during our Workshop. Click here to find out more about past summer events.
