Alternative Transpotation at the UO:

Universities play an important role in the issue of sustainable development and use of alternative transportation. Large campuses, like the University of Oregon, are affected by a myriad of issues such as land consumption, high emission rates, and pollution. Transportation accounts for almost 30% of the United States’ annual carbon dioxide emissions. The vehicles we drive have the single biggest impact on global climate change. Alternative forms of transportation reduce the need for parking spaces and the amount of carbon exhaust released into the air. Read on to learn about options at the UO when it comes to:
