Optional Fields
The two primary alternative fuel policies that govern the Universities’ fuel program, both consider E85 (flex-fuel) to be an alternative fuel (Federal Policy - EPACT92, and Texas State HB432). Since flex-fuel vehicles are the easiest to procure, (the most abundant and the easiest to service), the University has made a concerted effort to buy these types of vehicles. in 2015, 100% of our purchases were alternative fuel vehicles according to these regulations. A few years ago we were awarded a SECO (ARRA funded) grant to upgrade our fueling infrastructure to support E85 (flex fuel) vehicles, and to allow other State agencies to use our fueling station. We converted one of our 8000 gallon unleaded gasoline tanks, to E85 and installed card readers for the State of Texas issued fueling card, the Voyager Card. In our first full year of operation we replaced 62,718 gallons of regular unleaded gasoline, with E85.
In 2015, the University also replaced 20 older unleaded vehicles with 20 electric carts.
100% of annual purchase of light duty vehicles are alternative fuel capable.
