July 2019
Volume 2, Issue 10
A simple way for students, faculty, and staff to reduce their carbon footprint and lead a more sustainable, and healthy, lifestyle is to bike or walk rather than driving a personal car. Our partners in Transportation Services have found a new bike share service that came to campus this past year. VeoRide took over for ofo beginning Spring 2019. Learn more about how VeoRide is helping A&M become a more sustainable campus and how you can get involved in this month’s sustainability newsletter.
