Transportation

CCNY benefits from its proximity to public transportation. Most of our students use public transportation to commute to campus; therefore, we are focusing our energy conservation activities on promoting walking, cycling, carpooling, and acquiring fuel efficient vehicles.

EV Chargers

We have installed 10 dual-EV chargers on the 135th St side of the NAC parking lot. They are powered by the solar carport that resides nearby and each will provide a combined 40kW to EVs. More information here.

EV Fleet

Switched vehicles in our fleet from regular fuel power to fuel-efficient, hybrid or electrical vehicles. Added two brand new "Blue Bird Vision" low sulfur diesel fuel vehicles to our fleet.

Bikes

Surrounding the campus are Citi Bike racks available for rent. Users can purchase a membership or rent for a single ride. It's a great way to get around campus or explore Harlem, and great for the environment!

Buses and Subways

Stressed about getting around campus? CCNY has its own bus fleet that shuttles folks around campus. NYC also has its standard MTA buses, along with subways, that you can take to get around.

Completed goals:

  • Switched vehicles in our fleet from regular fuel power to fuel-efficient, hybrid or electrical vehicles.
  • Installed bicycle racks across campus to encourage cycling rather than driving.
  • Set up reduced parking rates to those who drive hybrid fuel vehicles to campus.
  • Run extended hours for the shuttle bus service to and from subways stations in order to encourage utilization of public transportation.
  • Added two brand new "Blue Bird Vision" low sulfur diesel fuel vehicles to our fleet.

Goals in Progress:

  • Meticulously collect data on fuel consumption and costs in order to help us understand our practices and therefore, help us reduce emissions.

Future Goals:

  • Continue to conduct surveys in order to assess potential emission savings by changing driving patterns.
  • Purchase only fuel-efficient or hybrid vehicles when replacing or adding to the fleet.
