Hampton Roads Transit Earns Awards for Environmental Excellence 

NORFOLK, Va. – Hampton Roads Transit (HRT) has won two regional awards for its commitment to environmental excellence.

HRT’s Southside Operations Complex in Norfolk earned a Platinum Award from Hampton Roads Sanitation District (HRSD) in recognition of a perfect stormwater compliance record for five consecutive years.

In addition, HRT’s North Side Facility in Hampton earned a Gold Award for perfect compliance and best practices to keep storm drains free of hazards and spills. It was the fourth consecutive Gold Award for HRT.

“Environmental compliance is some of the most challenging work we do because it requires all our staff embracing our regulatory permits,” said Sibyl Pappas, Chief Engineering and Facilities Officer. “Our mission is to connect Hampton Roads with transportation solutions that are reliable, safe, efficient and sustainable, and that includes helping to protect the waterways and natural resources of Hampton Roads.”
