We abuse land because we regard it as a commodity belonging to us. When we see land as community to which we belong, we may begin to use it with love and respect.”

Our Sustainable Future - CSU, Chico

Transportation, Parking, and Fleet Maintenance

The California State University, Chico campus is very bike-friendly, but automobile use is still common among students, faculty, and staff. Innovations in transportation have helped the campus to lessen its impact on the environment while still continuing to promote the advantages of walking, biking, and mass transit transportation options.

Alternative Fuel Vehicles

Alternative Fuel Vehicles have been on campus since 1989 when FMS purchased its first electric cart. Since then, Facilities Management Services has an electric vehicle fleet with 43 vehicles. The A.S. also owns one electric vehicle and one propane-powered truck. The Associated Students owns one student shuttle bus that is used by the Chico Area Transit service and is run on natural gas.

Free Bus Transit

Free Bus Transit is offered to students, faculty, and staff on the Chico Area Transit and Butte County Transit bus services during the fall and spring semesters. This service is subsidized both by the Associated Students and the University through an agreement with the City of Chico.
