Sustainable Transportation Sample Clauses

Sustainable Transportation. 1. The Sustainable Transportation Working Group, with input from the Climate Change Working Group, will develop normalized data reporting protocols to track progress on the implementation of sustainable transportation programs. Annually, each location will collect and report: a. Fleet efficiency metrics: fleet fuel consumption, total vehicle inventory, and total number and percent of new ZEV fleet acquisitions. b. Commute data: employee and campus-wide mode split, including telecommute and compressed week, average vehicle ridership (AVR), and percent of commuter alternative fuel vehicles, including ZEVs. i. Average vehicle ridership is calculated by dividing all person trip arrivals by private vehicle trips, with adjustments for telecommuting, compressed work weeks, and zero-emission vehicles (based on the South Coast Air Quality Management District’s methodology). c. Number and type of alternative fuel infrastructure (e.g., electric vehicle charging stations, natural gas, etc.). 2. Due to the unique characteristics of each campus’ fleet management protocols, each location will: a. Develop a Fleet Sustainability Implementation Plan by January 1, 2022, to document the infrastructure and financial needs to implement a low-carbon fleet program and lower campus fleet carbon emissions through 2025. b. Implement practical measures to improve fleet emissions, including, but not limited to, managing vehicle fleet size, eliminating non-essential vehicles, purchasing the cleanest and most efficient vehicles and fuels, and investing in clean bus operations. c. Establish a local process for centralized review and approval of vehicle acquisitions to ensure that those acquisitions comply with this Policy, that non-compliant acquisitions are operationally and financially justified, and that locations take advantage of opportunities to improve fleet utilization and efficiency. 3. Explore partnerships with local agencies, including the Department of Energy’s Clean Cities program, on opportunities to improve sustainable transportation access to and around University facilities in addition to developing its own transportation programs. 4. Each location will implement parking management and pricing strategies to support emissions reduction, trip reduction, and sustainable transportation goals, including variable pricing and unbundling parking and housing costs. 5. The University will pursue strategic programs and data collection to offset greenhouse gas emissions related to c...

Sustainable Transportation. The University will implement transportation programs and greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction strategies that reduce the environmental impacts from commuting, fleet and business air travel related to achieving the Climate Protection section of this Policy (see Section III. 1. Each location will reduce GHG emissions from its fleet and report annually on its progress. Locations will implement strategies to reduce emissions from University- owned or operated fleet vehicles to align with UC's 2025 carbon neutrality goals (as defined in the Climate Protection sections of this Policy). Carbon neutral fleets can be achieved if vehicles produce no tailpipe emissions, use a clean transportation fuel, and/or if carbon offsets are purchased. To support this goal, each location will ensure that: a. After July 1, 2023, zero-emission vehicles, plug-in hybrid, or dedicated clean transportation fueled vehicles will account for at least 50% of all vehicle acquisitions (including both leased and purchased vehicles). b. All sedans and minivan acquisitions will be zero-emission or plug-in hybrid vehicles, except for public safety vehicles with special performance requirements. c. In applications where zero-emission vehicles are not available, regardless of vehicle size class, the use of clean transportation fuels and other low-emission fuels will be prioritized Furthermore: d. Any carbon offsets purchased to meet the carbon neutrality goal will be coordinated with the location's Office of Sustainability, will support the location's overall carbon neutrality strategy, and will follow the guidelines laid out in the Climate Protection section of this Policy (see Section III.C.). e. Vehicle acquisitions plans should meet the State's goal (outlined in Executive Order N-79-20) that all new passenger cars and light-duty trucks (under 8,500 lbs.) acquired after January 1, 2035, and all medium-and heavy-duty vehicles acquired or operated after January 1, 2045, will be zero-emission. Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory will follow federal fleet requirements in the case where federal and UC fleet requirements conflict. 2. The University recognizes that single-occupant vehicle (SOV) commuting is a primary contributor to commute-related GHG emissions and localized transportation impacts. a. By 2025, each location will strive to reduce its percentage of employees and students commuting by SOV by 10% relative to its 2015 SOV commute rates. b. By 2050, each location will strive to have...
