Greening Cornell's Fleet - use biodiesel, connect with Ithaca Biodiesel. Kenneth will look into this.
Bio-Energy Research Center - $ offered by National and State DOE, could Cornell get funding for a new research center? Kim will look into this.
Buses - Free Bus Passes were a great incentive. We currently subsidize parking spots, and we shouldn't! Are there studies on how many freshman didn't bring bus passes this year as a result of having a free bus passes? Stefanie will look into this.
Long term: Gravity Fed Tram on Campus? An 'escalator' for bike up Buffalo Street? Tamar will look into this. We also discussed the possibility of a tram for Ithaca, but have since discovered that many studies have been done in this area, and it was determined to be financially unfeasible. (Talk to Professor Francis Vanek, MAE)
Bus to Farmer's Market!!! - Tamar will work with T-Cat to provide 'special' shuttles to go shopping there.
*Energy in getting your goods shipped - make transportation more sustainable, and then the goods themselves become more sustainable. Also, BUY LOCAL!
