Transportation
Introduction
This section examines the efficiency of transportation to, from and around campus on a regular basis for students, staff and faculty. It also addresses transportation for academic purposes outside of Marlboro, both academic and otherwise. This section will focus on both the availability and the actual use of sustainable forms of transportation.

Traveling on college business
Travel for admissions
Admissions visits about 750 high schools and colleges per year, mainly in the fall. Three admissions officers visit three the areas of the country. This year, there were two trips to the West coast: one was individual and one was with a group of college representatives from other schools. Trips to other regions of the U.S. were most likely comparable. Marlboro has a contract with a car rental company, so admissions officers fly to their area and then rent a car.
