      The JFK redevelopment program emphasizes sustainability by mandating electric vehicles and barge service use, alongside requiring LEED Silver certification for new terminals.

      • The Port Authority mandates the transition to electric vehicles during construction and for around service equipment at the airport.
      • A barge service is currently utilized to transport construction and demolition materials, aiming to reduce local truck traffic.
      • New terminal buildings are required to achieve a minimum of LEED Silver certification to ensure sustainability.
