Leave the Car at Home

Tue., Jan 31

After electricity use and heating/cooling in campus buildings, the largest portion of Southern's greenhouse gases result from transportation: official university travel and commuting. The university is working on making available several transportation solutions for members of the campus community.

On  February 1, 2012, the university held a Transportation Fair to inform the campus community about transportation options. The fair will be held in the Adanti Student Center Ballroom.

Presenters included:

• Zipcar (car sharing service)
  
  
• U-Pass (CTTransit bus pass for university students)
  
  
• Diverse Transportation (SCSU Shuttle Services)
  
  
• R.I.D.E.S. (MetroCard via SCSU's Drug & Alcohol Resource Center)
  
  
• Connecticut Commuter Services (carpooling)
  

Tables for each program were set up around the room, and students met with representatives and enroll in Zipcar, obtain their U-Pass and R.I.D.E.S. MetroCard, and obtain shuttle bus information/schedules.
