Sustainability along the ITR
Operating a world-class toll road in an environmentally responsible and sustainable fashion.
Committed to the communities we serve, ITRCC embraces a long-term perspective and an agile approach to every aspect of our business. We’re continually improving as we strive to apply new technologies and operational strategies that enhance our environmental and social impacts.
Expanding our investments in renewable energy
Partnering with Solscient Energy, we secured 1,700+ additional kilowatts of solar energy through installations at 14 ITRCC locations across the Toll Road. We’re sizing these arrays to offset current electric consumption at each of these facilities. These steps advance us toward our goal of eliminating more than 1,000 metric tons of carbon emissions annually by 2030.
