Transportation
Transportation plays a large role in daily operations on UNC’s campus. Grounds workers, bus drivers, and other employees involved in campus motor fleet are turning towards more environmentally friendly methods of transportation.
In 2009, UNC made efforts to eliminate all traditional, unblended gasoline by transitioning to E85 in its buses and motorcar fleet. E85, which is composed of 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline, greatly reduces the amount of greenhouse gases (CO2) emitted into the environment.
