Data source(s) and notes about the submission:

Transportation and Parking Services has coordinated an institution wide fleet reduction program that began in 2010. The entire university fleet has been reduced by 23% or 238 vehicles from June 2010 to June 2012. The fleet reduction has been accompanied by a corresponding fuel usage reduction of 23%. The Aggie Transit shuttle service has seen an increase of 9% ridership in the last year (2011 to 2012). NMSU and the City of Las Cruces transit system established a pilot Universal Bus Pass program in August 2012 that allows all NMSU students to ride any city transit bus at no charge. This pilot program is meant to encourage sustainable travel by public transit to and from campus.
