Alternate Transportation

The concept of transportation alternatives is not a new one; it is, very simply, finding an alternative to one-car, one-driver commuting.

The alternative may be in the form of a carpool, transit bus, bicycle, moped/motorcycle, or as a pedestrian. Each of these alternatives offers benefits to the user as well as to the University and the community:

• Saves money
• Saves auto wear and tear
• Saves gas - reduces energy consumption
• Reduces traffic congestion
• Reduces parking problems
• Provides cleaner air
• Provides an environment to meet new friends
