Central New Mexico Community College
OP-15: Campus Fleet

Update 2019: We have approximately the same # of vehicles in all categories, however we are adding EV charging stations this Fiscal Year, so hope to increase that number.

Central New Mexico Community College’s Transportation Services Department tries to keep a fine balance between alternative fuel vehicles, their usage, and the cost of maintenance. Not only to be environmentally proactive but fiscally responsible as well. We strive to make the best alternative fuel purchases that we can. New Mexico State also requires government institutions to have a certain percentage of their yearly vehicle purchases to be alternative fuel vehicle as well. The problem that the College faces with alternative fuel vehicles is the availability of these alternative fuels in our local markets. As the local market ventures more into alternative fuels and the availability increases the College will be able to not only continue buying alternative fuel vehicles but use alternative fuels as well (reported by Michelle Peeples, 2013-2014).

Hello Dr. Garcia,

Attached please find the data you requested for the sustainability report. You will find two data reports on fueling for APS and WEX, those reports have the amount of gallons as well as dollar amount for the year 2015. Below is a quick total for fueling:

APS
• Gallons: 16,152.261
• Amount: $33,800.29

WEX
• Gallons: 4,940.683
• Amount: $11,895.05

Total Gallons: 21,092.944
Total Dollar Amount: $45,695.34

Attached you will also find the form you wanted us to fill out.

Also to reiterate what Jim has said in the last email, we have a total of 182 vehicles on the fleet list which includes the Applied Technologies vehicles and a lot of those are just the ones that the students use to work on, they are not driven. We have 26 electric vehicles. In Fleet Services we have 76 of the 182 on our inventory and 26 are the GEM’s and 50 gas vehicles.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Thank you,

Cecilia

to calculate Co2 emitted by gallons of gas
Under international agreement, CO2 emissions from the combustion of biomass or biofuels are not included in national greenhouse gas emissions inventories.2 Most of the retail gasoline now sold in the United States contains about 10% fuel ethanol (or E10) by volume. Burning a gallon of E10 produces about 17.68 pounds of CO2 that is emitted from the fossil fuel content.
