Lisa Colicchio is a strategic thinker who makes climate action practical and profitable. She designs and implements robust decarbonization strategies that save companies money while advancing commitments to emissions reduction, social equity, and employee wellness.

As Sustainability Director for Metrolink, the third largest regional rail service in the nation, Lisa is leading the path to a zero emissions future with her development of a progressive 2030 Climate Action Plan focused on advanced technologies of battery electric and hydrogen fuel cells. Building a bridge to zero, she spearheaded the bold move to eliminate all petroleum-based fossil fuels in their locomotive fleet. Metrolink is the first rail agency in the nation to power all trains with 100% recycled natural fats and vegetable oils. By removing 8 million gallons per year from the fossil fuel supply chain, air quality is improved and greenhouse gas emissions reduced by up to 80%, the equivalent of eliminating 13,900 passenger vehicles from the road for a year.
