NIU has taken steps to address greenhouse gas emissions in our transportation operations and is committed to further action. In addition to using 10% ethanol blend gasoline and B11/B2 soy biodiesel, we have installed electric vehicle charging stations for our fleet vehicles and increased the number of hybrid vehicles in the university fleet.
Alternative Transportation Options
We encourage the campus community to use sustainable transportation methods. Students, employees and alumni can reserve a car for short-term use with our Zipcar program. There are several local public transportation options, and we encourage bike-riding with our bicycle registration program. We also provide an online platform that helps people create and join carpools, allowing them to share rides to/from campus.
