A brief description of the institution’s formal community partnership to advance sustainability:

In 2015 UW-Platteville entered into a formal agreement (MOU) with the City of Platteville to develop a public transportation system with the goal of reducing negative environmental impacts of transportation, increasing equity among those who cannot afford a car, and reducing municipal and campus costs related to parking and infrastructure wear and tear. Campus provides an annual payment of $150,000 to the system, in exchange, the system was able to triple it's service level and expand the subsidized taxi hours so that it can serve more people in the community. UW-Platteville students ride the bus for free. A committee made of equal city/campus membership meets monthly to advise the system, with the community hospital, school district, and UW-Platteivlle's Student Disability Office and International Programs office always represented on the committee. In addition to the annual payment, UW-Platteville's Sustainability Coordinator staffs the committee.
