UC San Diego has an expanding network of electric vehicle charging stations.
UC San Diego has one of America's greenest vehicle fleets with 65% alternative fuel vehicles (EV, PHEV, Renewable Diesel, Hybrid and CNG).
To offset the energy required to charge its heavy-duty delivery fleet, the Logistics 2.0 team is working with SDG&E and Chargepoint to install a gantry system at Logistics' Trade Street distribution hub, that when complete, will allow charging of seven medium-and heavy-duty trucks simultaneously. A fully electric fleet will decrease carbon emissions by an estimated 60 tons per year. Logistics 2.0 will further reduce carbon emissions by developing a scalable, robust, same-day, last-mile delivery model that aims to keep all third-party, carbon-emitting supplier vehicles off campus.
Continuous bicycle infrastructure improvement projects increase the feasibility of biking on campus. Dedicated pathways, added signage, enhanced lighting, improved drainage and lane repainting and dividers ensure that cyclists can commute safely.
