Transportation and Motorized Equipment

Goals

  • We will encourage less dependence on vehicles where feasible.
  • We will work to reduce the impact of vehicles on the environment.
  • We will prefer environmentally friendly equipment both in terms of energy use and emission production.
  • We will manage vehicles and motorized equipment on campus with sustainability in mind.

Practices and Accomplishments

  • A Driving "Personal Action Guide" has been created.
  • Colby Electricians now use an electric-powered Club Car Carryall 6 for transit around campus. By replacing a Chevy Astro Van, this vehicle saves 11 tons of Carbon Dioxide a year and over $1300 in annual fuel costs without a significant sacrifice in usability or cargo cap
