Green car parking at acc riverside

An eco-friendly car will lessen your carbon footprint and get you farther on a gallon of gas, but did you know it can also get you a better parking space

at ACC?

If you drive a fuel-efficient, low-emission vehicle, you could be eligible to park in a limited number of new preferred parking spots at each ACC campus. Follow the simple steps at http://www.austincc.edu/sustainability/greencar.php to get your Green Car Sticker. Spaces are limited, so a sticker does not necessarily guarantee you a

preferred spot.

And remember, greener ways to get to class include walking, bicycling, taking

the bus, or carpooling!
