Washington, DC – Transportation Management Services (TMS) announced today that they have successfully implemented an innovative Carbon Offset Program that provides a negative carbon footprint from ground transportation for their entire client base in 2009.

The TMS Carbon Offset Program was officially introduced in mid-2008 for a small portion of their client base. During the initial test phase of the program TMS’ goal was to create, manage and compute the logistical on-site shuttle information and create a post show tally of the number of gallons of diesel each bus burned along with the number of numeric tons of emissions the buses emitted. Subsequent to TMS’ findings they worked closely with their partner, CarbonFund.org to “fact check” each shows assessment.
