• Master Plan Phase 1 construction and demolition waste totaled over 26,000 tons

Traffic decongestion resulted in removing 3.8 million vehicles from airport roadways annually. This translates to 48,000 acres, or 2.4 million trees, over their lifetime sequestering CO2.

• ACI Airport Carbon Accreditation program
      - TPA achieved Level 2 Reduction in 2018, demonstrating a three year rolling average greenhouse gas emissions reduction of over 14% per passenger due to reduction in energy consumption and increase in alternative fuel vehicles in our fleet
      - General Aviation airports joined at Level 1 Mapping in 2018, establishing a greenhouse gas emissions baseline
      - TPA and its three reliever GA airports represent 4 of the 39 participating North American airports and are the only FL airports in the ACA program
