To achieve its goals, the Metro needs to take advantage of clean technology. The objective of this study is to identify the best available technologies and/or practices to reduce energy consumption and increase energy efficiency in the Metro system, and to provide recommendations on how such technologies should be implemented. An emphasis was made on finding energy efficiency options available beyond the measures currently in place. After extensive research, it was determined that ultracapacitors, train automation, and kinetic energy harvesting are three technologies
