Does the institution have policies and/or programs in place to reduce emissions from air travel?:
A brief description of the policies and/or programs:
As part of the University of Iowa 2020 Sustainability Targets, adopted in 2010:
4. Reduce the Carbon Impact of Transportation
The UI will seek ways to reduce the vehicle miles traveled by single occupant vehicles, employ increasingly efficient fuels and technologies, improve the greenhouse gas efficiency of vehicles operated by employees and students, and seek net reductions and/or offsets in University-related air travel with the goal of achieving, by 2020, a 10% reduction in per capita emissions of fossil fuel-produced CO2 from University-related transportation and travel.
The UI will investigate a local offset program to address the greenhouse gas impacts of University-related air travel.
