Take commuting survey to help work WSU’s carbon footprint

A survey of Wichita State student, faculty and staff transportation rates is being conducted to estimate their carbon footprint.

This is in continuation of a previous study done in 2019 which found approximately 53,000 metric tons of CO2 were generated.

Responses are greatly appreciated. Any questions can be directed to Dr. Ikram Ahmen, associate professor of Mechanical Engineering, at ikram.ahmed@wichita.edu.
