Driving Forward: Strategies for Petroleum Reduction in the CU Boulder Campus Fleet.

The University of Colorado at Boulder is obligated under state and federal mandates to reduce the consumption of petroleum in its vehicle fleet, specifically by 25% by 2012. This goal will not be met, spurring a more in-depth review of barriers to petroleum reduction and a request for new strategies to meet future goals. The class worked with Bryan Flansburg, Director of Transportation Services, and Kristin Epley, Sustainability Projects Coordinator, Office of the Director of Sustainability, in analyzing the current status of fleet vehicles and alternative fueling options, surveying vehicle drivers, researching best practices from other large public Universities, and developing education and behavioral change strategies for both rental fleet drivers and on-campus staff. Results and recommendations will be presented.
