On the road to a fossil fuel-free future
Harvard invests in four 100% electric buses
Harvard’s Sustainable Transportation Goals:
- Complete the transition of Harvard’s shuttle-bus fleet to electric by 2035
- Set new target dates for its remaining fleet vehicle types by the end of 2026, as part of the University’s commitment to be fossil fuel-free by 2050. This roadmap will include an outline for installing more charging infrastructure for University vehicles and equipment.
- Maintain at least gold-level status in the League of American Bicyclists’ Bicycle Friendly University Program, which evaluates whether universities are effectively encouraging bicycling and protecting cyclists’ rights.
- Support and enhance the pedestrian experience and sufficiently accommodate other personal transportation, such as Bluebikes, e-bikes, and scooters.
- Continuously improve sustainable transportation opportunities, programs, and incentives for Harvard affiliates.
