2020 Goal Reduce the Carbon Impact of Transportation The UI will seek ways to reduce the vehicle miles traveled by single occupant vehicles, employ increasingly efficient fuels and technologies, improve the greenhouse gas efficiency of vehicles operated by employees and students, and seek net reductions and/or offsets in University-related air travel with the goal of achieving, by 2020, a 10% reduction in per capita emissions of fossil fuel-produced CO2 from University-related transportation and travel.
TDM for Commuters Strategies –Appropriately Price and Regulate Employee and Student Parking: manage demand –Provide alternatives to driving, or driving alone –Create incentives to reduce CO 2 output
