Sustainable Airport Initiatives

The Chicago Department of Aviation (CDA) continues to incorporate and expand sustainable initiatives for airport planning, operations and maintenance, concessions and tenants in accordance with the CDA Sustainable Airport Manual (SAM).

The SAM is a comprehensive guidance manual created by the CDA to incorporate and track sustainability in administrative procedures, planning, design and construction, operations and maintenance, and concessions and tenants with minimal impact to project schedules or budgets. The SAM not only guides the implementation of sustainability initiatives at O'Hare and Midway International Airports, it is used by several other airports around the world.

Learn about the SAM and all of CDA's sustainability initiatives.
