Sustainability at Chico State

Wildcats... Ride

It’s quick and easy to get to and around the Chico State campus.  Most housing is located within a mile of campus, which equates to about 25 minutes walking or 10 minutes riding. Within campus, it only takes about 10 minutes to walk from one side of campus to the other. Plus, there are bike paths for bikes, skateboards, and scooters as well as bus and shuttle options that go between your dorm and main campus.   

Walking

Walking is a quick and easy way to get around campus with multiple bridges to help you cross the creek between the north and south sides of campus. It only takes 10 minutes to walk between Plumas Hall and Harts and Humanities and 10 minutes between Langdon and Holt Hall.

Be Safe, Be Seen - Tips for walking along wheeled vehicles:

  • Be cautious, never assume someone will stop for you
  • Eyes up, Ears Open
  • Watch for intersections
  • Don't walk on designated bike path
Parking
While it is will always be better to use alternative transportation rather than driving a single-occupancy vehicle, if you are going to drive to campus you should know where to park. You can use the interactive parking map(opens in new window) to see what parking lot around campus would be best for you.
Climate Action and Resilience Plan
The Climate Action and Resilience Plan (CARP) is a comprehensive plan that will act as a guide for campus as we move closer and closer to our 2030 carbon neutrality goal. The updated CARP was formally adopted by campus in February 2021. The ambitious plan outlines a path to carbon neutrality, calls the campus and community into action, and creates opportunities for Chico State to serve as a leader and partner to our region.
