With parking registration and renewal period going on, this is the perfect time to think about how you get to the University every day. Did you know that if you car pool just on day per week you could save 1,000 miles per year on your vehicle? Make car pooling an everyday habit and you could save 5,000 miles per year. Additionally you can get a car pool permit at a discounted rate and who doesn’t want to save money on parking?
Now that the nice weather has arrived it might be worth considering biking instead of driving. University Facilities & Services has made biking-in more convenient than ever by placing additional bike racks throughout campus. Or if you live close enough you may consider walking. If getting fit is one of your summertime goals, this is a great way to fit exercise in your busy schedule, between all the pool parties and barbeques of course. There are lots of options to make your commute a little bit greener and Parking & Transportation Services offers incentives to do so. Learn more about how some University staff have already embraced greener commutes through cycling, walking, and carpooling.
