Sustainability Plan:
Lipsey Trucking strives to be an active agent in environmental conservation when and where practical.
For the purposes of this bid response and as referenced in the technical approach section, Lipsey
Trucking will utilize prime movers which operate within close proximity to the service areas. This process

overall carbon footprint. Lipsey Trucking will ensure the right vehicle platform is used in accomplishing
the required task which will alleviate `overkill' on using oversized vehicles for small movements.
All Lipsey Trucking owned and leased vehicles use low emission diesel fuels and they comply with
federal and state emission standards. Additionally, Lipsey Trucking strongly encourages with all of
company and contracted drivers the need to shut down power units during long periods of inactivity.
As a matter of normal business practices, Lipsey Trucking utilizes a three -tiered framework which
guides transportation operations planning, policy decisions, and implementation. The framework
consists of:
• Economy — Support economic vitality while developing transportation movement and operations in the
most cost-efficient and effective manner.
• Social — Provide transportation, which is accessible, safe, and secure for all social cross sections
including socially and economically challenged echelons and develop transportation movement and
operations which are an asset to the environment and supported communities.
• Environment — Develop solutions that are compatible with - and when and where practical an
enhancement to the environment, reduce emissions and pollution from the transportation system, and
reduce the material resources required to support transportation.
As stated, Lipsey Trucking seeks to be a valued business partner in providing first-rate services to its
customers while simultaneously being good environmentally conscious stewards.
