Name or title of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome:
A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome that outlines how credit criteria are met and any positive measurable outcomes associated with the innovation:
President Cockett implemented a plan to charge a $10 offset on round-trip flights with a phase in plan beginning in FY21. At the end of the fiscal year, the index that paid the fee will be “reimbursed” by the President for those expenses. Each year departments will have the option to decrease travel or pay a greater portion of the $10 fee. This fee is not a donation and will go to a fund managed by the vice president for business and finance. Individuals may still decide whether to contribute to the carbon offset fund.
