iCAP Transportation Targets Current Targets* Reduce carbon emissions related to transportation from fiscal year 2008 baseline. a) 30 percent by 2015 b) 40 percent by 2020 c) 50 percent by d) 100 percent by 2050

iCAP Transportation Strategies 1.Reduce GHG emissions from commuting by providing incentives and implementing infrastructure changes 2.Reduce GHG emissions from University fleet vehicles through new fleet vehicle acquisitions and infrastructure changes 3.Implement the Campus Bicycle Plan 4.Create and subsidize a bike sharing program 5.Develop and implement a system for purchasing air travel emission offset 6.Hire a Sustainable Transportation Director

Strategy 1: Reduce GHG emissions from commuting by providing incentives and implementing infrastructure changes Action Steps: Offer employees an option to purchase a reduced parking pass for less than full-time parking privileges Motivate commuters to use more fuel efficient vehicles by providing incentives Support and provide incentives for employees who rideshare Extend shuttle services for neighboring communities Explore the possibility of establishing shuttle services for employees from remote locations not presently served by public transportation options

Strategy 2: Reduce GHG emissions from University fleet vehicles through new fleet vehicle acquisitions and infrastructure changes Action Steps: Explore the feasibility of using Compress Natural Gas for University fleet vehicles Increase the use of biodiesel blends in University fleet vehicles Require and activate anti-idling equipment for all new class 6 and above trucks purchased by the University

Strategy 3: Implement the Campus Bicycle Plan Action Steps: Implement the 2014 Campus Bicycle Plan2014 Campus Bicycle Plan –Engineering i.e. bikeway improvements, bike parking areas, and bike fix-it stations –Education i.e. bike-related classes –Encouragement i.e. Bike Month, Campus Bike Center –Enforcement i.e. bicycle registration programs, the UI Bike Code –Evaluation and Planning i.e. Bicycle Friendly University, Every Bikes Count census events, gathering public input through the online bicycle feedback form, and prioritizing bike-related needs for campus

Strategy 4: Create and subsidize a bike sharing program Action Steps: Departmental Bike Share Explore the idea of a community-wide Bike Share Programs F&S and CITES should consider supplementing fleet vehicles with bicycles with cargo trailers

Strategy 5: Develop and implement a system for purchasing air travel emission offsets Action Steps: Carbon offsets OR develop system of local equivalents Granulate air emissions stats to highlight improvement areas Air Travel reduction incentives program Institutionalize remote conferencing/meeting services & support

Strategy 6: Hire a Sustainable Transportation Director Action Steps: Create position responsible for developing and implementing iCAP compliance strategy for all transportation sub-categories
