Innovative Green Fleet Program

 

Development of the Centre’s One-of-a-Kind Green Fleet program in 2005 created greater workplace accessibility for employees throughout the Contra Costa Centre Transit Village. The program provides access to the Centre’s fleet of low-speed vehicles that make it quicker and more affordable during the workday for workers at the Centre to run errands, attend meetings, or for use to and from the BART station. The program has not only been effective in discouraging single-occupant vehicle use at the Centre during the day, it also provides employees with a great way to get away for lunch or a noontime meeting without having to take their car out. And the community benefits as well by sparing our environment from the harm done from cold-start automobile gas emissions. In 2008 the Green Fleet program was expanded with an upgraded fleet of electric bicycles, bikes, and car sharing vehicles and the automation of the four docking stations. Computerized automation of the docking stations, combined with a feature for making online vehicle reservations, has made on-site vehicle access easier and more efficient.
