This credit was marked as Not Applicable for the following reason:

Institution does not have parking spaces.

As one of the most dense, urban campuses in the country, located in the heart of Greenwich Village in New York City, NYU is very well-served by public transit (subway, commuter rail, bus, ferry), and less than 2% of students, faculty and staff commute to campus using a car or taxi.

More than 60% walk or bike to campus from their place of residence daily.

Given the extraordinarily small number of campus community members which own, much less routinely use, much less commute with, a personal vehicle, a car- or van-pool incentive program is not applicable. A very small number of parking spaces may be available in the NYC neighborhood surrounding our embedded, urban campus, but these are not dedicated or particularly available for commuters.
