Excessive driving is one of the largest sources of greenhouse gas emissions as well as pollutants that are just plain gross. In 2008, on-campus parking was limited to sophomores, juniors, and seniors to reduce the number of cars traveling in the community.
To further reduce your driving, take a stroll to Kennie's Market instead of driving to Giant or Wal-mart when you need something from the supermarket. Kennie's is just a ten minute walk from campus, and offers a $0.05 discount per reusable bag you bring.
Local transportation in the form of the Freedom Transit buses allows students, faculty, and staff free transportation to many locations in Gettysburg as long as you have your College ID. Freedom Transit connects students to locations such as Wal-Mart, Giant, the Outlets, the Visitor's Center, and many other stops along the way!
Need to get to Harrisburg? Take the rabbittransit stop from in front of the Majestic Theater. This will take you to the Harrisburg Bus and Train Station. Note: This service is not Freedom Transit and is not free. It should cost approximately $3.50.
Still need a lift? Stop by the Transportation Office in the Central Energy Plant to organize a ride with the campus' shuttle service! This service began in 2001 to reduce student carbon emissions on commonly used routes to regional mass transit locations.
If driving is unavoidable, contact your fellow classmates and organize a carpool.
