The TerraPass Story

TerraPass is the brainchild of Dr. Karl Ulrich at the University of Pennsylvania. Along with 41 of his students, Karl launched TerraPass in October, 2004 as a way to help everyday people reduce the climate impact of their driving. Within its first year, TerraPass registered over 2,400 members, reduced 36 million pounds of CO2, and earned countless national press and blog articles.

How did it start?

Karl is an environmentalist. He commutes by bicycle. Eight miles a day, every day, in the snow, rain, or sweltering heat. His record is unmatched at the University of Pennsylvania.

Renewable Sources of Energy

But like a lot of people, he is concerned about the impact of his driving. You see, Karl loves Vermont. So much that he's building a cabin there. Building a cabin requires tools, and tools require a truck. A Ford F-150, to be precise, which he drives between Philadelphia and Vermont quite a few weekends every year.
