Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Asking the students to think about and plan how to get around campus on foot or a bicycle, and to submit those plans to the student newspaper in writing, is the most likely approach to be successful. This approach encourages active participation from the students and promotes a culture of sustainability on campus. It also offers an opportunity for the students to share their ideas and best practices with each other. Signage and flyers have been shown to have limited effectiveness in changing behavior, while doing nothing is not a viable solution.
