Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
This data is only for vehicles owned by Cornell Fleet Services. Currently, we do not have information for all university-owned vehicles. We are working on collecting this data into our fleet management system. Cornell University owns approximately 1300 vehicle and only about 12% are Cornell fleet vehicles.
The current Cornell fleet count is at 155 vehicles, down from 166 vehicles. Management through our Agile Fleet Commander system has allowed us to reduce this number.
This year we are also replacing 12 mid-sized sedans and 2 subcompacts with Partial Zero Emission Vehicles (PZEV), which will reduce our greenhouse gas (GHG) by 25% compared to the emissions of the vehicles we are replacing. This fleet replacement will also result in an increase in the miles per gallon used.
This equates to a reduction in GHG of about 14% for all the vehicles being offered by Fleet Services.
Cornell is currently also exploring the option of purchasing propane powered vehicles, mostly small pick-up trucks for use by a variety of groups including Grounds, Shops, Vet College. The LP vehicles could replace vehicles currently using unleaded gasoline and result in GHG reduction.
