  • Transit and the Environment go hand in hand. The following information stresses the importance and necessity of providing sustainable transportation:
    • Transportation is the biggest cause of air pollution in our cities.
    • A single bus can eliminate up to 50 single-occupancy vehicles.
    • One busload of passengers saves 9 tons of air pollution each year.
  • Transit Windsor used low sulphur diesel years prior to government legislation, and diesel engines are modified to reduce particulate matter using the CAM converter.
  • New bus purchases have the most current emission standards.
  • Bike racks are added to our total accessible buses in an effort to combine two modes of environmentally friendly transportation.
  • Transit Windsor participates in many community events such as Earth Day and Clean Air Day.
