To incentivize students, staff, and faculty to ditch single-occupancy vehicles in favor of alternative methods like walking, biking, and taking the bus, the team launched the Clean Commute Challenge. A key driver of this challenge\u2019s success was a robust prize raffle funded by the Green Fund. Recognizing that financial constraints often act as barriers to sustainable behaviors, the project provided high-value prizes directly facilitating green commuting. Lucky winners received electric bikes, high-quality walking shoes, bike shop gift certificates, secure U-locks, and Mountain Line bus passes. By supplying this essential gear, the initiative successfully reduced commuter carbon emissions and actively cultivated a lasting culture of sustainable transportation across the NAU campus.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<!-- shortcode-column -->\n<div class=\"shortcode-column shortcode-column--count-2\">\n    \n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5>Project Lead:<\/h5>\n<p>Danielle Linthicum<\/p>\n<h5>Date:<\/h5>\n<p>2025-07-07<\/p>\n<h5>Funding Amount:<\/h5>\n<p>$5,367.03<\/p>\n<h5>Department:<\/h5>\n<p>NAU Green Fund<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/136\/2026\/06\/Green_Transportation_Week_2026_Project_Proposal.pdf\">Supporting Documents<\/a><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>Ride &amp; Retrieve Inititative<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ride &amp; Retrieve Inititative<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3002,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"ring_central_script_selection":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-5817","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/green-nau\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5817","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/green-nau\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/green-nau\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/green-nau\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3002"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/green-nau\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5817"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/green-nau\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5817\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5819,"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/green-nau\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5817\/revisions\/5819"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/green-nau\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5817"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
