Excerpt from DalNews article:
"According to Dalhousie’s College of Sustainability, transportation accounts for roughly 25 per cent of Canada’s total energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. That’s high because nearly 60 per cent of faculty and staff and 13 per cent of students drive to Dalhousie, according to a transportation survey conducted by the Office of Sustainability earlier this year.

“Dalhousie is doing its part by developing alternate transportation programs dedicated toward becoming a more sustainable campus,” says Rochelle Owen, director of the Office of Sustainability."
