Colorado State University is rated one of the most-sustainable universities in the world, thanks to, in large part, our students. Want to be a part of the green movement on campus when you get here? Here are some ideas.
#1. Leave your vehicle at home

With all of the great alternative modes of transportation available at and around CSU, there’s no need to have a personal vehicle on campus. Many students opt to bring a bike, instead. CSU and Fort Collins are top-rated spots for bikers with 300+ miles of bike paths. There’s even a student-run bike repair shop on campus called The Spoke, which offers free hands-on learning opportunities for bike maintenance. Additionally, all campus and city buses are included in your student fees; just use your RamCard. CSU also has services that allow you to rent a bike , a car, or a scooter.
