Make Cabrillo a Hub for Sustainability Education in Our Community

We are growing an alliance of students, faculty, staff and administrators at Cabrillo College, all working to transform our college into a hub for sustainability education in our community.

Student Transportation Impact

Using the various information sources we have at hand, I have estimated the following carbon emissions from student transportation in a typical week.

Number of solo car trips per week: Approximately 25,000
Average number of miles driven (round trip): 16.50
Number of miles driven per week: 412,500
Average Miles Per Gallon: 22.5
Total gallons used per week: 18,333

Total lbs. of CO2 emitted per week from student solo car trips*: 362,993 lbs (181.5 tons)

*using 19.8 lbs of CO2 per gallon
