Did you know???Since 1995, over 2,500 trees have been plantedthroughout the USF campus.
USF has reduced land area that is being covered and
will be allowed to remain an open space by building
taller, not wider.
Currently, there are more than 4 miles of bike lanes
on the Tampa campus.
USF is a Charter Participant of the Association for
the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher
Education (AASHE) Sustainability Tracking, Assess-
ment & Rating System (STARS).
USFs Bull Runner Transit System is free tostudents/faculty/staff on campus; Over one million
free rides are provided per year throughout the
campus, connecting neighborhoods around campus,
and to a HART station (Tampas Public Bus System).
Established in 1995, USFs Solar Energy Charging

burned to generate electricity, scrap metal recycled,

Grounds department.
