Sustainable Mobility Options
Bridgette Brady, CAPP Director, WSU Parking & Transportation Services introduced bike sharing and Zimride programs that can help reduce WSU's carbon footprint.
“Transportation is a significant consideration in our worklife experience. Mobility needs for those living on or near campus may be different from those commuting from outlying communities.
