  • Alternative Transit - Bike Storage and Changing Room: Palo Alto provides secure bicycle storage and shower and changing facilities to increase employee use of alternative transportation.

  • Alternative Transportation - Low-Emitting and Fuel-Efficient Vehicles: Palo Alto offers preferred parking for low-emitting and fuel-efficient vehicles.

  • Green Cleaning: The office ensures that green cleaning products are incorporated into janitorial services, including floor cleaners, paper products and trash bags. Products are non-hazardous and have a low environmental impact.
