In April 2021, TRU signed up with a BC Government program incentive called Go Electric Fleets, which is administered by the Fraser Basin Council. Once TRU finishes the program it will receive 50% of the cost of the program back. Through the program, TRU contracted with a company called Charge FWD.com which will conduct a study to determine a plan to transition TRU's fleet vehicles - when feasible - to electric or hybrid vehicles. The final report is expected in Fall 2022.
During the 2013-2014 school year, TRU was involved in a Electric Vehicle Suitability Assessment with 14 of its fleet vehicles. As part of the Plug-in BC program, the Fraser Basin Council and FleetCarma partnered with the TRU Sustainability Office (as well as other interested organizations in British Columbia) to determine electric vehicle suitability for their fleets.
After a three week period that assessed driving patterns, it was determined that many of the 14 vehicles were suitable to be replaced--once they came to the end of their life-cycle--with an electric vehicle. It was determined that the extra up-front retail cost would be more than offset by the long-term savings during the anticipated life span of an electric vehicle.
