A brief description of the institution’s efforts to support alternative fuel and power technology in its motorized fleet:
The University will purchase alternate fuel vehicles whenever possible and is currently focusing on CNG and electric for bus, hybrid for light duty and all-eletric or flex fuel when possible for work demand. The fleet has the capability of using B20 and B5 but there is none currently available in the state's fuel network.

NOTES
At the request of the Utah Legislature, the Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute – with the assistance of a 37-person Technical Advisory Committee – prepared the Utah Roadmap to assist with legislative policy making to improve air quality and address causes and impacts of a changing climate. The Roadmap suggests that State institutions shift their fleets to sustainable fuels.

Milepost 2: We recommend state government lead by example by converting to an all electric/compressed natural gas/hydrogen/renewable natural gas fleet where practical, adopt energy efficiency goals in state buildings, establish telework targets, provide additional funding for reforestation, and invest more in energy planning."
Milepost 5: Position Utah as the market-based electric vehicle state: Utah to expand the state’s network of EV charging stations and incentivize EV/CNG/RNG use (particularly for older vehicles and large fleets).
