Does the institution have policies and/or programs in place to reduce emissions from air travel?:
A brief description of the policies and/or programs:
FSU guidelines for travel:
OP-D-2-D7 TRANSPORTATION – Travel should use the most efficient and economical means, considering time of the traveler, cost of transportation, and per diem or subsistence required. Therefore, if it is more economical to drive than fly, that should be a travel consideration by departments.
While these policies don’t specifically address air travel emissions, they do illustrate our commitment to addressing economical travel means, which can very loosely translate to an effect on emissions.
