TRACK: Poster Presentation with a Paper in the Proceedings
As the effects of the global climate crisis become increasingly evident, university campuses are designing and implementing strategies to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from campus activity. Similar to the national trend, transportation is frequently the major contributor to GHG emissions on college campuses around the United States. To reduce greenhouse gas emissions, university campuses are modifying their commuting policies and implementing operational modifications to restrict single-occupant vehicle trips. In the absence of suitable alternatives, however, campus transportation demand management programs struggle to fulfil their objectives. Therefore, this study aims to provide an overview of the research on the benefits of deploying shared electric vehicles (SEVs), a critical alternative for lowering greenhouse gas emissions. The results demonstrated that the introduction of SEVs has made it possible to replace drive-alone trips, contribute to the achievement of near-zero emissions, and influence the university's transportation system. In addition, campuses have the ability to affect the users and spatial distribution of electric vehicles use through the strategic placement of chargers and charging rates. Furthermore, more refined and spatially fine-grained information on GHG savings due to the interacting impacts of the shared electric fleet would assist universities in allocating resources for policies that balance mobility and emissions.

Learning Objectives:

Attendees can expect to learn the following from this session:
  • Define the importance of Shared Electric Vehicles (SEVs)
  • Describe the benefits for SEVs technology deployment and policy scenarios
  • Describe the potential for GHG reduction
