APTA TransITech Presentation
by Angela Miller
A few months ago I wrote a post about attending an American Public Transportation Association meeting on Sustainability and how I felt out of place as the only IT person in the room. Today I had yet another lonely experience. I was the only person in the collection of IT professionals in public transit focused on green technology.
I gave a presentation on how transit entities can take small steps to make incremental progress toward greening their data center. I’m not sure that my observations could compete with the more exciting presentations like iPhone applications and Google Transit. But I think the slide that showed how making a simple change in our desktops and monitors had actual dollar savings and a measurable reduction in our carbon footprint made some impression.
