| Please Complete the Commuting Survey |
|
| W&L's carbon footprint includes greenhouse gas emissions associated with commuting to campus. As part of the annual greenhouse gas report, W&L can track mileage associated with faculty and staff commuting based on home address and job type. This gives the university a ballpark idea, but we can do better! |
| Please complete the 2022-2023 Employee Commuting Survey to help improve the accuracy of our commuting emissions reporting and to inform future transportation strategies. |
