Our biggest contribution to lowering our greenhouse gasses at NMSU is to reduce our fleet - zero emissions in a vehicle you don't have! We also use alternative fuel that was an innovation credit in our last report. As an agriculture college we grow and research glandless cotton which produces a very clean oil. This oil is transported (in a bio-fuel cart of course) to our food services vendor to use in their frying. When the oil is tired and must be retired, it is driven back to the farm in the same bio-fuel cart, and that oil is put into a machine that turns it into biofuel to run the pump that waters the cotton. It's a beautiful zero-waste circle of alternative fuel.

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 another 6% or 50 more vehicles from June 2012 to June 2015. The fleet reduction has been accompanied by a corresponding fuel usage reduction of 23%. The Aggie Transit shuttle service has seen an increase of 28% ridership 2012 to 2015). 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.
