Safe Shops is a program created to promote environmental leadership among Boston’s auto body and repair shops. Safe Shops staff provides training, education, and other resources to help shops improve their safety and environmental practices, and to help them become better neighbors.
The program helps the community by creating partnerships between residents and their auto shop neighbors; ensuring that local auto shops are responsive to community concerns; improving the quality of life in the neighborhood; and reducing water, air, and noise pollution.
