2. Status of ACUPCC Emissions 2008-2014 Table One ACUPCC Emissions 2008-2014

3. 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 2025. • d)    100 percent by 2050

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

5. 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

6. 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

7. Strategy 3: Implement the Campus Bicycle Plan Action Steps: • Implement the 2014 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

8. 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

9. 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

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