Does the institution have policies and/or guidelines in place to improve outdoor air quality and minimize air pollutant emissions from mobile sources?:
A brief description of the policies and/or guidelines to improve outdoor air quality and minimize air pollutant emissions from mobile sources:
We use Commute Connection from the County. We also give priority parking to carpool and fuel efficient vehicles. We have installed over 250 bike rack spaces in the past seven years and avidly promote bike usage by providing two onsite shower facilities for bike commuters. We also annually promote bike to work week.
Besides this, we work to improve outdoor air quality by reducing the need for students, staff and faculty to go off campus for basic needs by providing the following onsite: an ATM, grocery store, postal service, printing shop, direct deposit and check cashing (for students and staff/faculty up to $150), break rooms with sinks and microwaves, a bike repair station, and more.
Has the institution completed an inventory of significant air emissions from stationary sources on campus?:
