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:
Stanford has a number of campus resources to encourage telecommuting and reduce the amount of air travel by faculty and staff. These include a suite of different web-based collaboration programs that are available to all members of the Stanford community, including Drupal and SharePoint. These programs allow teams to collaborate via the web and eliminate the need to meet in person. In addition, Stanford tracks its air travel emissions and reports that information publicly.
In addition, there is a specific travel code (and subsequent fields) required through the university's reimbursement system that enables Stanford to track emissions from air travel consistently.
