Sustainable Transportation

In New York State, transportation accounts for more than three-quarters of the petroleum used and nearly 40% of greenhouse gases generated. FSC is dedicated to reducing its carbon footprint by implementing more secure, sustainable, and cleaner transportation options for students and employees.

Our goal is to increase awareness and utilization of alternative modes of transportation, including: walking, bicycling, public transport, car sharing programs, low- or no-emission vehicles and teleconferencing.

NO-IDLING CAMPUS

FSC is committed to reducing the amount of idling that happens on campus. Engine idling is when the car engine is left running but you're not moving (usually for more than 10-20 seconds). FSC is committed to reducing on-campus idling to near elimination. Why stop idling?

• Environment: When an engine is running, it emits carbon dioxide (CO2), which is the main greenhouse gas responsible for climate change. By switching off your engine when stopped, you stop these emissions too!
• Health: Idling makes for worse air quality, which is bad for human health and can impact our entire campus community.
• Money: Idling wastes fuel that you’re paying for! Conserve your gas and save money.
• Safety: When cars and buses are idling, it is harder for students to hear cars that actually moving, which might be hidden behind idling cars.

Take the pledge to stop idling here, and help our campus reach its sustainability goals.
