7.) Green Tip: Got Snow?!
Avoid navigating slippery roads and the hassle of digging out by leaving your car at home and letting TARC do the driving. Louisville’s entire bus system is completely free with UofL ID! If you need a car on campus, check one out from UofL Carshare – join by 4/30 for just $1 with promo code 1TOJOIN. When clearing snow, use a shovel instead of salt or gas-guzzling blowers – you’ll stay warm with exercise while preventing pollution, corrosion and damage to plants and aquatic ecosystems.
