• In 2010 Facilities Division of the Airport made a shift tousing Electric Vehicles for their daily operations on theairfield. Since these vehicles do not need to travel oncommercial roadways, the Airport can reduce their impacton air quality and reduce the carbon footprint of theiroperations.

• These electric vehicles require Level 1 charging which is asimple 110V, 3-prong outlet are available in offices, homewalls, and garages.

• SJC has installed EV 8 chargers in the hourly parkingsouth of Terminal B to serve customer vehicles whileparked at the Airport. The chargers were provided throughan air quality settlement by California Air Resources Boardalong with a grant to Southwest Airlines to install GroundSupport Equipment (GSE) chargers. Southwest is in theprocess of converting their GSE fleet to electric to reducetheir air quality impact.

• In an effort to reduce Green House Gas emissions, the Airportconverted the entire fleet of airport shuttle buses from diesel toCNG.
