Sustainability at Massport

Welcome to a sustainable Massport! There are many opportunities for travelers and employees to make sustainable choices and help to protect the environment!

Sustainable Transportation

Massport is implementing a comprehensive program to promote sustainable transportation and reduce the overall environmental and emissions impacts of travel to and from the Airport. Massport strongly encourages the use of clean transportation modes, such as High Occupancy Vehicles (HOV), by passengers, employees, and business partners.

Green Ways to Travel to and From Boston Logan

CleanAir CABS

CleanAir CABS, a collaboration between Massport and the City of Boston, provides head-of-line privileges to encourage the use of low-emission, alternative fueled, mainly hybrid, vehicles for taxi service. To reduce your carbon footprint, speak to an attendant at the taxi stand and request a Clean-Air CAB, such as a hybrid vehicle).

Clean Fuel Vehicle Preferred Parking

At Boston Logan, there are more than 170 designated, preferred parking spaces for customers that drive electric vehicles (includes hybrid and all electric) and alternative-fuel vehicles (AFVs). Alternative fuels are vehicles powered by compressed natural gas (CNG), propane or hydrogen.

Hybrid and Electric Vehicles

Ride-Sharing

Massport has implemented a plan for consolidated drop-off and pick-up which is better for Uber and Lyft customers and drivers, provides new and expanded HOV/Logan Express options, reduces congestion for all passengers, and is better for the environment. The new covered Ride App TNC drop-off and pickup areas for the terminals will eliminate over 1.5 million car trips through the tunnels at Boston Logan.

Ride App/TNC

Walk or Bike

Every terminal is accessible from the East Boston neighborhood by sidewalks and pathways. There are bike racks available located around the Airport, such as at Terminals A and E, Economy Parking Garage, Rental Car Center, Airport MBTA Station, at the Greenway Connector and in Bremen Street Park. Hubway, the bike-sharing system in Metro Boston, has stations in East Boston.

Rental Car Center

Centralizing all our rental options into one car rental center saves energy and is more convenient for all.

Sustainable Employee Commuting Initiatives

Airport employees often have non-traditional, dynamic working hours that are difficult to match to typical transit service. Massport continues to enhance opportunities and encourage employees to commit to making their daily commutes more sustainable. This includes offering incentives for using HOV modes, recognizing employees that are committed to reducing their carbon footprints, and more.

Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Stations

Massport offers complimentary electric vehicle charging station use. Normal parking rates apply and there is no cost for electricity use. To date, Massport has installed over 100 EV charging ports for hybrid and all-electric vehicles and plans to continue expanding charging infrastructure over the next few years.
