A brief description of the institution’s efforts to support alternative fuel and power technology in its motorized fleet:
York University has a fleet of vehicles ranging from buses, trucks, passenger vans and golf carts.

A few other highlights:

1) Frank Stronach, the founder of Magna International, announced his intention to launch a tiny three-wheeled electric commuter car to reduce greenhouse gases, ease traffic jams and solve parking problems known as the SARIT (Safe, Affordable, Reliable, Innovative Transit). York University has become a “living lab” to test the prototype of the electric vehicles. The first prototype was delivered in April 2022 and work began immediately - faculty, students and more than two dozen York Facilities staff are running real-life tests of the cars through their work in areas such as maintenance, security and parking. 2) Security Services now has trained officers on bikes (PACT), decreasing the need for vehicles and they have also incorporated hybrid vehicles into their fleet. Numerous departments on campus also operate electric golf carts.
3) Transportation Services has recently purchased two electric buses for the use on the Glendon-Keele Shuttle, an expected delivery of Summer 2024.
