University of Wisconsin-River Falls
OP-18: Campus Fleet

The campus fleet which is managed by Facilities Management has supported the purchase of flex fuel vehicles for several years. Staff also manage and assisted in the development of a community NEV ordinance. The ordinance has been in place for several years and supports the use of several NEVs on the campus. Departments such as Postal Services, University Center Production Services staff, IT, and Police and Parking all use NEVs as a part of their daily operation. During the summer months, Grounds and Maintenance staff also lease 3 e-gators for use in Summer operations. The campus has also engaged with Enterprise in the CarShare program which has become popular with a lot of our International students. The program currently has two cars in operation and it is housed with our campus fleet operations. A UWRF student is employed as an intern of Enterprise and works on marketing and the approval of drivers. The program will continue to grow as the need arises.

The 1 gas/electric non-plug-in hybrid vehicle is the Chancellor's leased vehicle. The 6 100% electric vehicles are Neighborhood Electric Vehicles (NEV's) used for University Center (2) transportation and for Postal, Fast Copy, DoTS and Parking services across campus. The total number of vehicles includes 56 state-owned vehicle plates allotted to the campus, 1 leased vehicle, 1 donated diesel farm truck, and 6 NEV plates.
