Ducks flock to campus any number of ways – walk, bike, bus, carpool – but a new commuter survey suggests they increasingly do not rely on the single-person car trip. A survey earlier this year of students, faculty and staff showed that only 18 percent of the campus drives alone to work, with bicycling the top commute choice (21 percent). The finding comes as the UO community gears up for the annual Business Commute Challenge, a weeklong promotion of active and healthy transportation options.

Interstate Ave. in Portland. The exhibition will be on view through May 26.

The UO's Science Library is currently featuring a display on fun local hikes, for those looking to get outdoors this spring. Some of the hikes are in the middle of town, and others are within an hour drive of Eugene. The display explains which plants are blooming and where, and offers brochures to help with various hikes. The display is expected to be active for only a few weeks. The Science Library is in Room B90 of Onyx Bridge. - from UO Libraries
