Association of Colleges

In working towards becoming a greener college, Richmond Adult Community College provides staff with bicycles to travel the 2.5 miles between the two college campuses. All bikes are well serviced and staff are given a lesson in road safety and adjusting the bike to individual requirements. Bikes come complete with helmets, fluorescent jackets, lights and saddlebags which fit the essential laptop computer, files and books.

The amount of bicycle parking has increased and staff and students are encouraged to use public transport.

The college also owns two Smart Cars, for staff business travel. Smart Cars’ environmentally friendly features include electronic power management, preventing the engine from emitting pollutants, and an economy transmission mode to save fuel.  Their design enables easy conversion to alternative power sources and the car, and its parts, can be dismantled and recycled economically.
