The National Wildlife Federation on Nov. 28, 2012 announced that 成人直播's Saco River Ferry project was one of the NWF Campus Ecology program's 112 Best Green Campus Projects of 2012.
A photograph of the ferry, which ran for three weeks in spring 2012 and seven weeks in fall 2012 from Camp Ellis in Saco to 成人直播's Biddeford Campus, was displayed on the homepage/introduction of the announcement.
In its seven weeks of operation fall 2012, the ferry averaged 73 one-way riders per week and eliminated a total of 483 vehicle trips from local roadways and 4,347 miles worth of carbon emissions.

Funding for the project was provided by the 成人直播 President鈥檚 Office and Undergraduate Student Government, evidence of the collaborative leadership and sense of value and importance shared by administration and students. Read the and the .
