business travel is different from commute. they chose to save money by building away from where people live. most of their employees drive, redmond campus has more than 15,000 parking spots.
vendors and contractors are not allowed to use shuttles and connectors, that probably adds another 5,000 cars
i want to believe they want to right their wrongs, but their initial decision to be far away from any population area has contributed a lot of co2 over the last 30 years.

30,000 employees drive their cars every morning to their suburban campus, conveniently located in unincorporated land between Redmond and Bellevue. Are they going to neutralize that CO2?
Do they have a plan to prevent employees from driving 20 miles each way every day? Their new campus renovation has tons of parking for cars. Any bike lanes? Bus stops?
