The Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport) recently received ISO 14001 registration of its Tobin Memorial Bridge, the first bridge in the United States to receive the designation. Massport, which also operates Logan International Airport, the Port of Boston, L.G. Hanscom Field and Worcester Regional Airport, has undertaken a comprehensive approach to environmental management of its facilities. L.G. Hanscom Field and the Conley Container Terminal recently became the first transportation facilities of their kinds to be registered to ISO 14001.
