An Agitated Port Official Pushes for Collaboration
Burr Stewart, the Port of Seattle’s strategic planning manager, says that Y2K and 9/11 served as “fire drills” for what transportation officials need to do regarding global warming. “We should be agitated,” he admonished the audience at a Transportation Research Board session last month.
Stewart is a mover and shaker at an agency located in the eco-conscious Northwest. He believes that sustainable practices are no longer “cool”—they’re now a “requirement of doing business.”
