[Podcast] Airport Resiliency and Sustainability with Tampa International
In 2014 TPA received its first grant to create a sustainability plan. Since then, TPA has received ACI airport carbon accreditation, making it the first and only airport in Florida to receive this accreditation.
Currently, TPA tracks carbon emissions through all operations including maintenance vehicles and transportation. Their office building is LEED certified and was the first airport to earn Bike Friendly Business recognition. While Tampa International has been making strides to increase its resiliency and sustainability for a while, Hurricane Ian in 2022 was a pivotal moment that helped them realize what they have been doing has been great, but they need to do more.
