Mobility

We encourage members of the DU community to shift their travel behavior from single-occupancy automobile dependency to more sustainable modes. This is in the interest of improving safety and aesthetics on campus, as well as decreasing the amount of greenhouse gases released from university-related transportation. Why bring your own car or drive alone to DU? Save money and help build a healthier community by knowing your alternative transportation options.

Commuting Carbon Offset Program

The University of Denver has committed to achieving carbon neutrality by 2030. Commuting to & from campus by the campus community contributes significant greenhouse gas emissions to the University’s carbon footprint.

The Commuting Carbon Offset program will provide a carbon offset purchase option with parking permit purchase. The program is under development with carbon offset selection and cost pending.
