Université Laval aligns its practices with the municipal prohibiting idling regulation. Signs are present at each building’s delivery platform. Moreover, the University is replacing gradually all gasoline vehicles by other hybrid or electric type. Since September 2019, all full time students have access to the public transit U-Pass (universal pass = Laissez-passer universitaire). The fees of the pass is included in the academic fees at 50% of the regular price. This program has been created by the student associations in partnership with the university and the two local transit operators.
