Okanagan College
OP-14: Campus Fleet

Institution supports alternative fuel and power technology by including in its motorized vehicle fleet (cars, trucks, tractors, buses) vehicles that are:

1. Gasoline-electric hybrid
2. Diesel-electric hybrid
3. Plug-in hybrid
4. 100 percent electric
5. Hydrogen fueled
6. Fueled with B20 or higher biofuel for more than 6 months of the year; and/or
7. Fueled with E85 or higher ethanol for more than 6 months of the year.

For this credit, the institution’s motorized fleet includes all institution-owned and operated vehicles that are used for transporting people and/or goods.  Heavy construction equipment (e.g. excavators and pavers) and maintenance equipment (e.g. lawn-mowers and leaf blowers) are not included in this credit.    

This credit applies to all institutions that have a motorized vehicle fleet. 

Institutions earn the maximum of 2 points for this credit when all vehicles in their fleets are alternatively fueled and/or powered.  Incremental points are available for using alternative fuels in some vehicles and/or having some alternatively powered vehicles.  For example, an institution for which gasoline-electric hybrid vehicles comprise 50 percent of the total fleet would earn 1 point (half of the points available for this credit).
