Transportation

Emissions related to commuting by faculty, staff, and students are included in the University's carbon footprint calculation each year. In an effort to reduce the need for vehicles on campus, the University offers great support for sustainable transportation.

University of Richmond has free campus shuttles that leave from campus on consistent intervals throughout the day to transport faculty, staff, and students to destinations throughout the city of Richmond. We partner with RideFinders to assist with carpooling and offer car sharing through the 5 Zipcars.

For members of the campus community with electric vehicles, please visit the Electric & Hybrid Vehicles webpage to learn more about EV charging stations and designated hybrid vehicle parking.

Environmental Justice

Traffic congestion significantly contributes to poor air quality and noise pollution. Communities impacted by poor air quality experience increased rates of respiratory issues and asthma. Public transportation services help mitigate vehicle emissions and congested roadways. Environmental justice concerns in transportation emerge as some communities are more likely to disproportionately receive improved services and funding over vulnerable communities most affected by air pollution.
