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

The University of Utah is committed to finding ways to incorporate alternative fuel vehicles into its fleet. In particular, Commuter Services has been aggressive in switching over its campus shuttle fleet to cleaner-running CNG-fueled buses. While the number of vehicles in the entire campus fleet that run on CNG is only 12, the percentage of total fuel used by the shuttle buses is x%. This helps the University to avoid emissions that hurt our air quality in the Salt Lake Valley.
