KCC is a Clean Air NY Campus Partner
Monday, December 11, 2023
The College Community,
Kingsborough Community College is proud to announce our Clean Air NY recognition from the New York State Department
of Transportation (NYSDOT). NYSDOT’s Statewide Mobility Services program works with
organizations to identify transportation and shared mobility solutions that help New
Yorkers find easy, affordable, and sustainable alternatives to driving alone, and
ultimately contribute to improved air quality. NYSDOT celebrates organizations who
have taken proactive steps to offer clean-transportation programs to its community,
by awarding the Clean Air NY Campus Partner designation.
This year Kingsborough Community College is working to provide green programs that include campus-wide alerts for days when
air quality will be unhealthy, Earth Day 2024 celebrations and initiatives to reduce
the use of single-use plastics on campus.
You can access NYSDOT’s free transportation and shared mobility services, such as
carpool matching, biking resources, air quality notifications, and transit itineraries
by visiting www.511NYRideshare.org. There you can also find travel tips, bike and transit buddies, and additional actions
you can do to improve air quality in New York State.
We are proud to have earned the Clean Air NY recognition and look forward to continuing our valuable partnership with NYSDOT’s Statewide Mobility Services program.
