The Austin Community College District is committed to becoming a leader in sustainability.  As part of ACC’s Green Initiative, ACC is starting two new programs:  “Green Car Parking” and “Green Pass.”

Green Car Parking

Beginning November 1st, individuals who drive a fuel-efficient, low-emission vehicle may be eligible to park in a limited number of new preferred parking spaces at each ACC campus.  To receive a Green Car sticker, follow the simple steps at:  http://www.austincc.edu/sustainability/greencar.php.  A Green Car sticker does not guarantee preferred parking, as spaces are limited.

Green Pass

The ACC Board of Trustees approved a pilot program to provide free Capital Metro passes to ACC students, faculty, and staff.  If approved by the Capital Metro Board of Directors, Green Pass will go into effect in January, 2010.  The initial cost of the program will be covered by increases in the parking fees which went into effect in Fall, 2009.
