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 Plan
– Engineering
•
–
Education
•
–
i.e. Bike Month, Campus Bike Center
Enforcement
•
–
i.e. bike-related classes
Encouragement
•
–
i.e. bikeway improvements, bike parking areas, and bike fix-it stations
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
