Does the institution advocate for public policies that support campus sustainability or that otherwise advance sustainability at the municipal/local level?:
Yes
A brief description of how the institution engages in public policy advocacy for sustainability at the municipal/local level, including the issues, legislation, and ordinances for or against which the institution has advocated:
Washington University’s campus is connected to an adjacent neighborhood via a pedestrian/bicycle bridge and ramp. This bridge/ramp also connects to a regional greenway/bike path. In recent months, Washington University has engaged with the local city council through the ordinance process to improve both the bridge and the ramp, which will allow for grade separation between pedestrians, cyclists and others using non-motorized conveyances such as wheelchairs and strollers. The reconstruction of this public amenity improves access to, through, and from campus for both university members and the residents of our neighboring communities.
