Reimagine transportation systems
Harvard is developing and investing in sustainable modes of transportation, ensuring that walking, cycling, and public transport are safe, affordable, and accessible. Learn more about all transportation options from Harvard Transportation and Parking.
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.
