旅行 & 流动性
Sustainable Transportation
A critical component of our community is our integration with the greater Denver area, 和 we've worked hard to improve those connections 和 provide sustainable mobility options for everyone on 和 around campus. We're partnering with local transportation utilities 和 other organizations to offer access to public transit, car shares 和 bicycle 项目, offering our student body the chance to explore Denver's vibrant cultural 和 professional scenes with minimal environmental impact.
Together with organizations like RTD, Transportation Solutions 和 the Denver Regional Council of Governments, we continue to improve those options while developing new ways to relieve congestion in the city 和 reduce carbon emissions from commuting 和 travel.
DU is leading the way in transportation options in providing an on-dem和 campus shuttle. Shuttle routes are designed to connect from residence halls 和 the light rail station to classrooms, labs 和 offices during commuting hours. During the middle of the day, use the Tripshot app to hail a ride to 和 from any of the 15 stops. This provides access to grocery shopping, 咖啡店, 餐厅, 和 entertainment across south Denver. All shuttle rides are free to anyone with a DU ID 和 a boarding pass in the Tripshot app. Find out more at the parking 和 mobility services website.

Carbon Offsets for 旅行
Flights taken by students, 教师 和工作人员 account for around 15 percent of the University's total carbon footprint, 和 we're working to promote new solutions that support investment from the community in more equitable, sustainable travel solutions.
Study abroad 项目 produce a large portion of our travel emissions, as a large percentage of our undergraduates take at least one semester to live 和 learn in countries around the world. To alleviate the environmental impact of all that travel, we've set up a carbon offset partnership with Native 能源, a local organization that performs methane capture on the Southern Ute Indian Tribal L和s in southern Colorado. Students can opt-in to the offset program 和 make a local impact with global effects.
