The iCAP 2020 objective 5.2 is to "Reduce the total campus waste going to landfills from 5,049 tons in FY19 to 4,544 tons or less in FY24, which is a decrease of at least 10%." The responsible campus unit for championing this objective is F&S.

A curb bump out is also known as a curb extension.  These are generally placed at pedestrian crossing locations as a safety improvement.  By bumping out the curb line at a crosswalk, the traffic gets slower, the pedestrians are more visible to oncoming traffic, and pedestrians are clearly directed to these crossing locations which helps channel them to safer crossing locations.  As recommended by the 2007 Multi-Modal Transportation Study, curb bump outs are being installed throughout campus to enhance pedestrian safety.  Curb bump outs can be installed when there is a parking lane on a stre

One simple and frequent method for spreading safety information related to bicycles is a printed or digital poster.  As campus transitions to more and more digital signs, the bicycle education materials are transitioning to digital displays.  This reduces paper waste, with a minimal increase in energy use.

The cities of Urbana and Champaign worked together to produce a bicycle education video to introduce the public to the bicycle infrastructure that is being installed around both cities and to teach motorists and bicyclists how to interact with each other on the road.

This 14 minute video, entitled C-U Sharing the Road was filmed on local C-U streets and features many local C-U bicyclists. The video was filmed, edited, and produced by Urbana Public Television.

  Topics covered in the program include:  

Champaign County Bikes works with the League of Illinois Bicyclists to produce a Champaign-Urbana Bicycle Map, and the Office of the Dean of Students funds and distributes thousands of these bike maps on campus each year.  

The map includes comfort rating for various roads in town and it notes the difficult intersections from a cycling perspective.  It includes a call out section focusing on the campus area, and the back of the map features a number of safety tips and resources.

The iCAP 2020 objective 2.2 is to "Reduce Energy Use Intensity (EUI) of university facilities from the FY08 baseline by: 45% by FY30, 50% by FY40, and 60% by FY50." The responsible campus unit for championing this objective is F&S.

The maintenance department is focused on helping the University to fulfill its mission of teaching, research and public engagement. The department prioritizes its work with the mission of the University in mind at all times.

Some energy conservation projects on campus fall under the responsibility of this group, and all maintenance needs are handled by this team.

The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is commited to moving beyond coal. Reducing our carbon footprint has been the overarching goal since we signed the American Colleges and Universities Presidents' Climate Commitment (ACUPCC).  Completing the Climate Action Plan (iCAP) for campus was a major step forward.

A major component of succeeding at our Climate Action Plan goals will be to effectively communicate our progress, both internally and externally.  Documents such as the iCAP itself serve to outline the University's goals and intentions so that members of the broader University of Illinois community, as well as peer institutions and others, can stay abreast of our sustainability efforts. The University also reports on our progress to organizations such as AASHE, the Associate for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education, on a regular basis.
