How does Pepperdine improve air quality?
Pepperdine promotes the use of carpools, vanpools, mass transit, and walking via a program that incentivizes employees to “rideshare.” A shuttle service is also provided on campus and into the local shopping areas. The Facilities, Management, and Planning department uses a fleet of 20 electric vehicles and the Department of Public Safety utilizes a fleet of hybrid vehicles. The University’s largest contribution to improving air quality is the provision of on-campus housing, because this conserves fuel while decreasing the number of rush hour vehicles. Pepperdine currently provides 2,110 student beds and houses 143 faculty/staff residents.
