Charging forward into a new year, UCLA Transportation is supporting the transition to an electrified future, releasing its first-ever EV Readiness Plan for the university.
The plan provides a framework to increase the number of electric vehicles commuting to campus, complete the UCLA fleet’s transition to primarily zero-emission vehicles —including a fully electrified BruinBus system — and support these goals through expanded charging capacity.
“Lessening dependence on traditional gasoline and shifting to electric vehicles is critical to saving the climate, improving public health and meeting the sustainability objectives UCLA has set for commuting and the campus fleet,” said Dave Karwaski, UCLA Transportation’s director of mobility planning and traffic systems.
The plan syncs with the department’s previously released Sustainable Transportation Plan, the UCLA Sustainability Plan published last year, University of California sustainable transportation policies and California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s executive order requiring that by 2035, all new cars and passenger trucks sold in the state be zero-emission vehicles.
