A brief description of the institution’s efforts to support alternative fuel and power technology in its motorized fleet:

Through Executive Order 141 Wisconsin’s Governor directed the Wisconsin Department of Administration to require all State agencies, including the University of Wisconsin, to reduce the use of petroleum-based gasoline in state-owned vehicles by twenty percent (20%) by 2010 and by fifty percent (50%) by 2015, and reduce the use of petroleum-based diesel fuel by those vehicles ten percent (10%) by 2010 and twenty five percent (25%) by 2015.

Facilities Planning and Management (FP&M) is responsible for UW-L owned fleet vehicle operations. In this capacity, FP&M has collaborated with all on-campus operations to accomplish the following actions to improve fleet fuel efficiency.

• UW-L continues to reduce the number of licensed vehicles in its fleet.
• Starting in FY10 Residence Life and Student Centers purchased neighborhood electric vehicle (NEV) for on campus use.
• Various UW-L operations have purchased high efficiency (~50 MPG) unlicensed micro-vans for on-campus use.
• Various UW-L operations have expanded the seasonal use of golf carts to minimize the use of less fuel efficient vehicles.
• UW-L continues to remove older, less fuel efficient, vehicles from its fleet.
• FP&M continues a valued and effective preventative maintenance program to maintain all vehicles at their peak efficiency.
• FP&M purchases gasoline with a minimum 10% regionally produced ethanol.
