State Transit Bus Operations
The Safeguard Mechanism requires Australia's largest industrial facilities to keep net emissions under a legislated, stepping-down baseline — or offset the difference with carbon credits.

What this means
State Transit Bus Operations is a facility operated by STATE TRANSIT AUTHORITY OF NSW in NSW. Like all covered facilities, industrial operations generate significant emissions. Under Australia's Safeguard Mechanism, State Transit Bus Operations must keep its annual emissions below a stepping-down baseline — or purchase carbon credits to cover any overage.
In 2019–20, State Transit Bus Operations came in under its baseline — reporting emissions of 106 kt against an obligation of 160 kt, a surplus of 54 kt. Facilities that come in under baseline can generate Safeguard Mechanism Credits (SMCs), which can be sold to facilities that need to cover an overage.
