Dusty Crocker, an assistant professor of professional practice in art, had to replace what he calls his "gas burner," a Ford Explorer, with a Ford Escape, a smaller sport utility vehicle, in order to get better gas mileage on his car.
Crocker lives 30 miles away from the university and has noticed cars driving the same direction to school with TCU parking stickers during his morning commutes.
"I have asked casually just to see if some other professors can carpool with me," Crocker said.
A solution to his problems is in the works.
