Transportation

Transportation is a significant component of RIT’s carbon footprint—and can have a big impact on your wallet and your waistline.

Think about using multi-modal transportation systems, where a combination of riding a shuttle, bicycling, and perhaps walking will get you to destinations throughout the region.

Whatever mode of transportation you choose, remember to share the road and the sidewalks!
