Workshop Track 1. Campus and Local Transportation (Crest Room)

Facilitator:
William McLaughlin, Professor, Department of Conservation Social Sciences, University of Idaho

How can we make transportation to and within the University of Idaho campus more sustainable and environmentally-friendly?  What does a sustainable transportation system mean for the university?  What plans, policies, and programs should be considered?  We intend to learn about campus transportation needs and how alternative modes of transportation might be more effectively used on campus to meet the needs of students, faculty, and staff.  We also intend to develop recommendations and actions that can be considered and implemented by the campus community.  Geoff Straw (Manager of UniTrans, University of California, Davis student-run transit system) and Will Toor (Boulder County, Colorado, Commissioner) will describe case studies based on their experiences.
