Sustainability Initiatives

What we’re doing

• What WE are doing…

  • In collaboration with Residential Life & Learning Communities, Welcome Center & Parking Services offers Brockport’s Fast TRAX, a campus bike borrowing program.
    
  • Use the online Rideshare tool to make the task of searching for driving partners easy! SHARE A RIDE, NOT A PASS! Apply for a carpool permit to have access to a premium parking space on campus.
  • Welcome Center & Parking Services has purchased a hybrid vehicle.

  

   

  • We provide and encourage the use of our e-Parking online services to reduce the use of paper. Purchase your permit, pay citations and review your account history online.
  • In regards to the Special Event & Recreation Center (SERC), we are supportive to the campus’ goal to meet Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) requirements. Parking spaces will not be added.

   

  • Parking attendants are encouraged to patrol utilizing the bike donated by University Police.
  • The annual Walk Bike Event, co-sponsored by Welcome Center & Parking Services, encourages the campus and village community to give their cars a rest and walk or bike to their designation. Click here for more information about the fall 2009 two-day event.

   

  • Our parking lot greeters deter vehicular backup and idling.
  • Several years ago we sponsored a landscape day where volunteers spruced up the landscaping at the Conrad Welcome Center.

   

  • We are committed to promoting and encouraging healthy living. Our staff is fully involved in the annual campus “Eat Well, Live Well” campaign.
  • We encourage use of shuttle services.

   

  • Many of our communications are emailed instead of using paper.
  • Our office uses rechargeable batteries.

   

  • We shut down computers when they are not in use.
  • We recycle paper, bottles, and cans.

   

  • We promote NYS-Ride. This is a new program available to all NYS employees (except bargaining units 21 and 31 - Security Services) beginning July 2, 2008.  The program allows employees to have pre-tax deductions made from their paycheck to reduce the out-of-pocket costs of using public transportation to commute. Click here to view the fact sheet/summary about this program. For more information, visit the NYS-Ride Web page or call 1-866-428-7781.
  • Welcome Center & Parking Services now closes at 5 pm on Fridays to help the campus save on energy costs.

   

  What more can WE do?

  • Encourage more customers to complete parking related transactions using e-Parking.

   

  What YOU can do…

  • Share a ride with a buddy. But please remember that sharing a parking pass is not allowed.
  • Purchase your permit online using e-Parking.
  • Pay your citations online using e-Parking.
  • Leave your car at home. Borrow a bike from us instead.
  • Change light bulbs to compact florescent bulbs. They are more energy efficient.
  • Turn down the thermostat 1 degree in the winter and up 1 degree in the summer
  • Use power management to put computers to sleep when they are not in active use.
  • Buy recycled products such as 100% post consumer waste paper, remanufactured printer/toner cartridges, post it notes, scissors, and file folders.
  • Buy things in bulk to reduce packaging and waste.
  • Share all this information with fellow students and faculty. Knowledge is power.
