Energy, Climate and Transportation

Goal: Strive for carbon neutrality at Tri-C by increasing energy efficiency, exploring renewable energy options, and reducing the College’s transportation footprint.

Progress to date:

• Tri-C provides a free RTA U-Pass to registered and paid credit students to encourage the use of mass transit.
• Tri-C encourages employees to bike because it can benefit health and wellness, and to commute by bike if possible to reduce pollution. Most of Tri-C’s campuses have bike racks – select the campus link of your choice to see a map which includes bike rack locations: Metro, Western, Eastern, Westshore, Corporate College West, and the District Office
  

Energy efficiency projects completed to date include:

• LED lighting retrofits
• Boiler and chiller replacements
• Building air conditioning system optimizations

• Tri-C’s greenhouse gas inventory helps assess the impacts of operations and identify opportunities for improvement.
