SJSU Sustainable Transportation Competition

Our entry in the San Jose State Garrett Morgan Sustainable Transportation competition took most of our time and attention this year. The guiding questions for our transportation project were “How do 1900 students commute to Thornton each day?” and “Are these methods safe and sustainable?” We conducted a transportation audit, sent out a survey to the Thornton community, and worked to reduce the number of cars coming onto campus by participating in the Alameda County Safe Routes to School Golden Sneaker contest. Before the contest we sent an email to parents and guardians to encourage them to drop off students a half mile from campus so students can walk the rest of the way. We successfully completed and submitted our transportation project.
