Sustainable Campus Transportation The Campus Planning Office distributes an annual survey to determine how PSU students and employees travel to campus, and PSU is interested in further understanding how other university campuses around the country are structuring transportation plans to promote sustainability, low-carbon, and energy efficiency goals. Are these sustainable transportation plans differ depending on whether the campus is located in an urban setting like PSU or in a college town? Research 1 sustainable campus transportation plan to see if there are lessons that are adaptable to creating a PSU sustainable transportation plan. Do other campuses utilize surveys? What are different strategies for different population groups on campus (e.g., students vs faculty/staff) Describe how this issue defines sustainability, what steps are taken to achieve sustainability, and what advice you would provide to the project partners. Address the following questions: How do human activities affect environmental outcomes? How do environmental conditions affect human preferences and decisions? How might institutions, policies, or other frameworks guide human activities and behaviors to achieve sustainability in the context of your project topic?oAre there any equity or environmental/social justice considerations? How might they be addressed? Summarize –Describe the particular case (which may be cities, regions, neighborhoods, universities, or programs). What is unique about the case context? What are the organizations/projects doing? Why? Have they been successful? Why/why not? Discuss –If it is a successful case, what are the key factors that contribute to its success?
