Transportation
Employees, guests, and visitors travel both to and from and within the Lab. Goals to reduce energy use from transporation include:
- providing direct solar charging for Lab and employee electric vehicles and
- reducing the energy consumed, emissions produced, and reliance on petroleum by ORNL's vehicle fleet.
Transportation Survey
ORNL completed a survey on transportation issues in the fall of 2009. Over 2400 employees responded. Statistical information about the survey is found here. Results from the survey should be available soon.
Achievements
ORNL has won the White House Closing the Circle Award for its Green Transportation efforts:
- 43% of ORNL's fleet uses alternative energy,
- 91% of fleet purchased in FY 08 used alternative fuel, and
- 11 new electric vehicles have been purchased.
