Sustainable Transportation Committee

A robust sustainable transportation program can reduce greenhouse gas emissions and other pollutants, save campus users money and time, and provide healthy and safe alternatives to the single occupant vehicle. In Spring 2022 Cal Poly Humboldt President Tom Jackson and the University Senate authorized the establishment of the Sustainable Transportation Committee (STC). Its purpose is to assist the university in identifying and prioritizing opportunities to improve - and to reduce barriers to - the use of pedestrian, bicycling, transit and other non-single occupancy vehicle commute modes.
