Sustainability in Transportation

We work closely with the Chittenden Area Transportation Management Association (CATMA) along with a couple of other local organizations to make sustainable transportation a viable option for all college affiliates. Through free options and discounted options, getting around campus and the community doesn¡¯t require owning a vehicle!
