BVSD Electric Vehicle Sharing Program Two electric vehicles (EVs) are available at the Education Center for qualified staff to borrow for work-related trips. Employees are seeing first-hand the practical benefits of EVs and the BVSD is getting environmental and financial benefits.
The program is run by staff of the district’s Office of Sustainability and TO School Program. By substituting trips in private gasoline-powered autos with those in clean running BVSD EVs, both tailpipe pollution and costs related to employees’ mileage reimbursement are being cut. Furthermore, employees will be encouraged to bike and bus to the Education Center knowing that an EV is available for work trips during the day.
