Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
UCSD is committed to reducing GHG emissions by increasing the use of alternative transportation and fuels, while continuing to improve access to its growing, urban community. In 2009, the 42 free regional Ultra-Low Sulfur Biodiesel and CNG shuttle buses provided over 4.8 million passenger trips on routes totaling over 1 million miles. Transportation Services’ alternative transportation programs collectively saved in 2009 an estimated 18,680 metric tons of CO2 emissions.
Transportation and Fleet programs have won awards including: SANDAG Diamond, 3 SANDEE Awards, Model Pollution Prevention and more. A GPS and ETA App for cell phones and PCs tracks shuttles. A student-faculty- admin project created the Greenline shuttle that tests biofuels. (http://blink.ucsd.edu/go/shuttles)
Fleet Services is working on acquiring one or two demo Plug in Electric hybrid Priuses.
When discussing electric vehicles in the institution’s fleet, this includes 3 T3 Motion vehicles and 3 Segways. 153 of these vehicles are NEV's/LSV's. Fleet Services has signed a LOI to receive ten Nissan Leafs, which are a full speed, all electric vehicles.
Although we do not have hydrogen fueled vehicles, our campus does have CNG powered buses (3), trucks (3), along with a CNG street sweeper and delivery truck. These are alternatively fueled vehicles that should be included. We are soon to open CNG fueling station here on campus.
Question OP-14: Campus Fleet, All diesel fuel dispensed on campus is minimum B20. The campus fleet consumes approximately 172,000 gallons of B20 or higher biodiesel per year. The campus has some equipment (i.e. wood chipper) that also uses campus fuel, but are not included in the above total. Additionally, 31 of the vehicles accounted for in the total are buses.
In regards to the vehicles in the institution’s fleet that are fueled with E85 or higher ethanol for more than 6 months of the year, the campus has 6 of these vehicles, but they do not meet the requirements to be listed.
The total number of vehicles in the institution’s fleet does not include 52 VPSI vanpool vehicles.
