Electric Gem for ADA Loop Service

Project Basics

Project Sponsor: Disabled Students Program

Amount Awarded: $20,000

Grant Awarded: Spring 2019

Project Status: Complete

Project Description 

The Disabled Students Program approached the Parking & Transportation Department in 2007 to assume primary role of operating the Loop service. The Loop service currently provides 120 rides per day. The program recently transitioned from two of three gas-powered golf carts to all electric, street legal Gem carts. Over the past few years, efforts have been made to implement new technologies to improve workflow, increase efficiency, safety and sustainability efforts. The TGIF funds will help cover the cost for the purchase of a new electric Gem vehicle to support the ADA Loop service.
