A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome:

The WIST (Wisconsin Institute for Sustainable Technology) Scholar program taps the energy and creativity of UWSP faculty and staff across campus to advance research or other ideas that further the WIST mission and vision. The program is open to faculty and staff at all four UWSP colleges. WIST solicits proposals for sustainability projects in research, education or laboratory services; those winning approval are provided financial, administrative, and/or other support by WIST

$34,724 to Gene Martin, Doug Miskowiak and Keith Rice, of the UWSP Geographic Information System (GIS) Center and the UWSP Department of Geology/Geography. The project will use a combination of GIS tools to model commuting routes, total miles traveled and other parameters of travel by UWSP staff and students. The research will estimate fuel consumption for transportation and identify the most productive changes to reduce fuel consumption.
