PERC Webinar: Trains, (Bike) Lanes, and Automobiles: Sustainable Campus Transportation

Trains, (Bike) Lanes, and Automobiles

Sustainable Campus Transportation: What is it? Why does it matter? What you can do about it?

This webinar will introduce the overriding (pun intended) concepts of sustainable transportation, and address examples of colleges and universities integrating these concepts into their campuses.  Case studies will look at a range of options, from bike-sharing programs to car-sharing software, that are aimed at creating social, environmental, and economics benefits for your college campus. 

Planned presentations include:

• Kathleen Grady, Temple University Sustainability Coordinator on public transportation and ride sharing options.
  
• Dan Webster, Sustainability Projects Coordinator at Dickinson College on Bikes and Biodiesel
  
• Chris Spahr, transit planner with Michael J. Baker Jr., Inc, transit planning concepts
  

Emphasis will be placed on the different modes of transportation that can potentially be integrated onto your campus.  Presenters are working for institutions located in both smaller towns and urban centers.  A Q&A session will follow.
