“EPA is fitting another important piece into the clean diesel puzzle by cleaning emissions from our trains and boats,” said Charlie Jenkins, Port of Houston Authority (PHA) director of planning & environment. “As more and more goods flow through our ports and railways, EPA is cutting diesel emissions at their source – keeping our nation on track toward a clean, healthy, productive tomorrow.” PHA is a member of the EPA’s National Environmental Performance Track and the Blue Skyways Collaborative, which is dedicated to reducing diesel fuel emissions, and was the first port to implement an Environmental Management System that meets the rigorous parameters of the ISO 14001 standards.
