FLCC> "Ithaca is at the top of a list of Greenest Commuters"

[William Lodico]

I have some trouble attaching much import to this when I'm working my  
way through traffic on Meadow or Fulton on a typical afternoon (in my  
car, of course, adding my bit to the problem, on one of my commutes  
from Elmira, maybe for a bike ride).  When did they take the survey  
that led to the percentage commuters walking or biking?  Mid  
semester, when you can count students making their way from dorm room  
to classroom as commuters?
