Transportation
Below is a link to Neutral Gators Carbon Calculator to determine how much CO2 your round-trip transportation puts into the atmosphere, and how much it would cost to offset it. Carbon Calculator We encourage you to take alternative transportation such as walking, biking, or using RTS to get the Reitz Union from your hotel. Additionally, if you are looking for an inexpensive, fast, and easy way to share a ride with someone else in your area going to the convention and willing to give a round trip ride to Gainesville try Zimride. If you plan to take the bus from your hotel, here is the weekend RTS bus schedule: For Saturday For Sunday Ask your hotel’s front desk for the best way to walk and/or bike to the campus. This website might be helpful if you want to try and map out your route ahead of time. http://www.routesprout.com/ is another useful website that will help you “form your own trip” by joining together with other individuals. When your trip has a high enough demand, your route will “sprout.” |
