ACTIONS: Healthcare-related transportation
Cutting transportation emissions is an obvious place to start for any institution or workplace.
- Provide incentives for staff to commute to work on foot, by bike, using transit, or carpooling.
- Design medical campuses to be welcoming and accessible to those who walk, bike, or use transit to travel there.
- Work with city and transit authorities to ensure there are safe, convenient walking and biking routes to your facility as well as frequent and reliable transit service.
- Where appropriate, encourage medical staff to meet with patients via telemedicine, eliminating transportation emissions and offering convenience to patients.
