Emory is committed to its role as model of a progressive, sustainable, 'green' campus. Members of the Emory community are encouraged to work together to re-examine their modes of commuting and consider modes that share all or part of the ride with others.
Emory has an extensive commute options program includes:- Providing free transit passes on the city’s MARTA transit system to staff.
- Establishing the "Cliff" shuttle system, which is one of the largest bus systems in metro Atlanta. Every month, some 240,000 faculty, students and staff ride this 100 percent alternatively fuled system, which powers the fleet of shuttles on biodiesel made from recycled cooking oil from Emory's cafeterias and hospitals.
- Developing a bike program in partnership with Fuji Bikes and Bicycle South that features a free bike share program, a bike repair unit inside Dobbs University Center (DUC), and offers discounted bikes for staff and students.
- Offering Georgia's first-ever ridematching service, Zimride, using a social networking website.
- Bringing a car share program, FlexCar (now ZipCar) to Atlanta as its first customer.
- Launching several park-n-ride facilities at area shopping malls around the perimeter of Atlanta. This partnership takes vehicles off the roads while at the same time curbing the need to build new parking lots on campus.
- Organizing an extensive system of carpools and vanpools that carry hundreds of commuters to work each day.
