UCSB Transportation service’sFleet Purchasing Policy

» UCSB is committed to reducing the campus’ overall energy consumption, reliance on foreign fuel and overall environmental impact.

» Transportation Services will assist the campus in achieving these reductions by purchasing alternative fuel* or ultra efficient** vehicles. If such an option does not exist for the appropriate vehicle, Transportation Services will perform the necessary research to purchase a vehicle with the smallest ecological footprint available.

» Transportation Services will educate the campus about new fuel technology, and require all campus departments to purchase alternative fuel or cleanest available technology vehicles that meet their needs.
