A brief description of the institution’s efforts to support alternative fuel and power technology in its motorized fleet:

Our SafeRide program (which provides free taxi rides to students) operates Toyota Prii and is currently looking to convert to electric vehicles. Facilities Management has also introduced ten 100 percent electric service vehicles to its fleet. We plan to continue building on these efforts by converting all of our campus vehicles to electric in the future.
