Reduce your carbon footprint by riding one of the over a dozen buses that run through Boulder and the CU campus.
Biking
Choosing to bike to work or class rather than drive can save over 3,000 pounds of greenhouse gas emissions each year, and the cost of maintaining a bike is twenty times less than that of a car.
With over 300 miles of bikeway, including on-street bike lanes, designated bike routes, and paved shoulders, Boulder is great for cyclists.
Walking
Just like biking, walking to class or work wastes no energy and is great for your health.
Ride Sharing
Each car owned by a ridesharing services such as Uber and Lyft removes between 5.5 to 12.7 tons of greenhouse gas emissions each year.
Both Uber and Lyft have shared ride features that are cheaper and still reduce emissions.
Carpooling is a great way to reduce your carbon footprint.
Obeying the speed limit, checking your tire pressure, removing excess weight from your trunk, and turning your engine off while parked keep your trips more sustainable.
Green Travel
Lessen your footprint by taking non-stop flights, as the majority of emissions are emitted during takeoff and landing.
Support local businesses, such as hotels, restaurants, and shops, instead of large tourist corporations when traveling.
Before you book a hotel or hostel, make sure that their environmental values align with yours!
