None
A brief description of the policies and/or guidelines to improve outdoor air quality and minimize air pollutant emissions from mobile sources:
We don't have a policy or guideline per se (such as an idling limit). It isn't exactly policy, but we have gradually moved parking to the perimeter of campus to try discouraging students from driving to class. Also, we installed two electric vehicle charging stations in 2013 with more planned.

Yes
None
