ECOmmuters Series

2022 ECOmmuters Series

In the wake of high gas prices during the summer of 2022, we featured UMB staff, faculty, and students who commute to and from campus using sustainable methods in place of driving in a single-occupancy, gas-powered vehicle. If you’ve never thought of taking the MTA, carpooling with a colleague to get to campus, or cycling, it is always a great time to consider these and other sustainable commuting methods!
