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 1,300 vehicles and only about 12% are Cornell fleet vehicles.

This year (2014) Cornell Fleet Services replaced a few mid-sized sedans and subcompacts with 13 Toyota Camrys and 8 Toyota Corollas with Partial Zero Emission Vehicles (PZEV) rating, which reduced our greenhouse gas (GHG) by 25% compared to the emissions of the vehicles we are replacing. This fleet replacement also resulted in a 15% 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.
