As one of the first chauffeured providers in the industry to institute a comprehensive and sustainable service for business travelers and their families, Regal Transport is, quite simply, the choice for those who want to minimize their impact on the environment.
Regal Transport has taken an unprecedented preemptive action to reduce its impact on the environment by launching a comprehensive program to take on climate change issues. The plan is based on the belief that the uncertainty and risks presented by global warming are so great, it is better to take action immediately rather than to wait for scientific research and technological improvements to “fix” climate change.
Regal Transport is committed to the development and maintenance of an environmentally-friendly business model. Through our comprehensive initiatives, we are setting the emission reduction standards for the executive ground transportation industry in conjunction with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Simply put, Regal Transport is supporting a common sense approach for our company and industry to transition to a cleaner, more environmentally friendly service.
What We Are Doing
Regal Transport has a comprehensive strategy that will, over the next few years, result in a significant reduction of the company's energy consumption. Today, we are actively involved in:
•
A Carbon Emissions Inventory Assessment.
•
Emissions Goal Setting
•
Integration of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Reduction Strategies.
•
100% Carbon Offsetting.
•
Use of FlexFuel and Hybrid vehicles.
Other alternative actions that are being followed are:
1. Regal Transport has taken delivery on new flex-fuel SUVs. This equipment can run on either Diesel or Bio-Diesel. “The availability of E85 will grow exponentially over the next few years, and right now, our SUVs utilize Active Fuel Management.
2. Regal Transport has converted all paper documents – including confirmations, receipts, invoices, etc – to digital formats. We have reduced the use of paper by more than 85%.
3. All promotional materials, including brochures, are printed on recycled paper and the company's monthly newsletters and other new business mailings have been converted to digital formats and email.
4. Regal Transport has instituted a buy “green” preferred supplier partnership – office supplies, computers, and all other office-related products are purchased from companies that have established sustainability programs.
