Meet the newest member of Public Safety’s green fleet, our second Chevy Bolt!

Our commitment to environmental responsibility is a key part of our ongoing mission to ensure the safety of the Columbia Community. In 2008, we started moving toward a sustainable fleet with our first hybrid vehicle. As of 2017, when we converted the last gas-powered evening shuttle to a hybrid, the entire Public Safety fleet of 23 vehicles and two shuttle buses is green.

Columbia University has been named one of the Safest Colleges in America 2017 by the National Council for Home Safety and Security, a national trade association that works to further industry education and public knowledge about safety and security.
