A brief description of the institution’s efforts to support alternative fuel and power technology in its motorized fleet:
Binghamton University is required to abide by New York State Executive Order 22, which requires all state agencies to decarbonize their non-emergency vehicle fleets (100% of their light-duty non-emergency vehicle fleets be Zero Emission Vehicles (ZEVs) by 2035 and 100% of their medium- and heavy-duty vehicle fleet be ZEVs by 2040).
Binghamton University is in the process of creating the required fleet decarbonization plan:
1. All Affected Entities shall create and file a light-duty vehicle fleet decarbonization plan and a medium- and heavy-duty decarbonization plan with the Council. The Council shall provide technical assistance and guidance to agencies for the development of decarbonization plans. Such decarbonization plans shall include, at minimum, the following elements:
a. A purchasing plan that includes interim targets for how they will achieve the fleet decarbonization goals of this Order; and
b. A plan for providing staff training and engagement necessary for the successful decarbonization of their fleet.
2. Affected Entities shall file such light-duty vehicle fleet decarbonization plans with the Council within one year of the issuance of this Order and shall file such medium- and heavy-duty decarbonization plans with the Council within three years of the issuance of this Order.
3. Affected Entities shall file progress updates to their light and medium- and heavy-duty vehicle decarbonization plans every three years after the filing of their first plan.
4. Priority shall be given to purchasing battery electric vehicles and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, and if they are not practicable for an Affected Entity’s needs, then plug-in hybrid electric vehicles may be considered in limited circumstances as specifically authorized by the Council.
5. Affected Entities that operate emergency vehicles shall, at least annually, evaluate and test various ZEV technologies to determine if they can meet the use cases for these vehicles.
6. Affected Entities shall consult with OGS to develop ZEV charging infrastructure for their fleets. OGS shall provide guidance to agencies and coordinate the phased implementation of ZEV charging infrastructure.
7. Affected Entities are encouraged to maximize employee access to and promote the use of ZEV charging infrastructure employee workplace charging at State owned and maintained parking facilities.
