Climate Action Plan
CLIMATE IMPACT AT NC STATE UNIVERSITY
AMERICAN COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY PRESIDENTS CLIMATE COMMITMENT• Addresses global warming through a
commitment to work towards climate neutrality• Co-organized by AASHE, ecoAmerica and
Second Nature • Over 650 signatories nation-wide• NC State signed the ACUPCC in 2008
REQUIREMENTS OF THE ACUPCC • Within two months of signing this document, create
institutional structures to guide the development and implementation of the plan
• Within one year complete a comprehensive inventory of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and update the inventory every other year thereafter
• Within two years of signing this document, develop an institutional action plan for becoming climate neutral
• Initiate two or more tangible actions to reduce greenhouse gases while the more comprehensive plan is being developed
• Make the action plan, inventory, and periodic progress reports publicly available

CAP WEDGE GROUPS• Green Development (campus growth, new
buildings)• Energy Conservation (existing buildings)• Fuel Mix and Renewable Energy• Transportation (commuting, business travel,
fleet)• Offsets (off-campus carbon reduction)
*Base Case• Define “business as usual” assumptions across all
wedges• Estimate “do-nothing” cost associated with GHG
emissions
AEI APPROACHPhase 1 Phase 2
TRANSPORTATION GHG IMPACT
– 15% of total GHG emissions– Commuting– Air Travel– Fleet– Public transit
TRANSPORTATION STRATEGIES• Sponsor new infrastructure and related programs that
promote additional bicycling/pedestrian trips within and between campus precincts
• Decrease traffic congestion on main campus thoroughfares – Pilot main campus roadway access restrictions to
reduce daytime vehicle "through" traffic– Enhance Wolfline transit system speeds and schedule
reliability– Promote a safer walk/bike atmosphere
• Increase alternative fuel vehicles in university motor pool and departmental fleets and reduce fuel usage
STRATEGIES cont’dContinuously refine and market Wolfline transit services to accommodate increased rider demands and changing travel needs within and between campus precincts, especially Centennial to Main connections
Promote and increase commuting staff and student use of Triangle Transit and Capital Area Transit services to campus via GoPass Intensify marketing for and use of campus perimeter commuter parking opportunities matched by frequent and dependable transit connections to core campus destinations
STRATEGIES cont’d
• Reduce single occupancy vehicle trips to, from, and around campus– Leverage parking permit pricing and policies to encourage a
"park it and leave it" perimeter parking philosophy– Increase carpooling – Shift unnecessary single occupancy vehicle trips to Wolfline and
bicycling/pedestrian modes
NEXT STEPS AND DISCUSSION
• Feed any remaining ideas to WG Chair• Ideas will be compiled and sent out for
