Labs program has been on hiatus due to lack of staffing and resources; however, this year the Office of Sustainability identified researchers in neurobiology who may assist in restarting the program. While no new labs were certified this year, UCLA earned 66 certifications from the LA City Green Business Program, including departments from a variety of divisions: Anderson School of Management, Asset Management, Facilities Management, Graduate Division, Health, Meyer &amp; Renee Luskin Conference Center, UCLA Wilshire Center and more.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column stat is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\"><div class=\"wp-block-theme-blocks-statistic wp-block has-image has-column-span has-row-span\" style=\"--column-span:1;--row-span:1\"><div class=\"block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sustainabilityreport.ucop.edu\/2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/10\/ucal_icon_lab-test-tube.png\" width=\"600\" alt=\"\" \/><\/div><strong class='block-number'>26<\/strong>\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\">total assessed green laboratories<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group wider infographic\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Transportation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66%\"><div class=\"wp-block-theme-blocks-grid theme-block\" style=\"\"><div class=\"grid-layout two-across two-rows\" data-columns=\"2\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-theme-blocks-statistic wp-block has-image has-column-span has-row-span\" style=\"--column-span:1;--row-span:2\"><div class=\"block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"495\" height=\"363\" src=\"https:\/\/sustainabilityreport.ucop.edu\/2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/08\/Transportation-bus-bicycle-icon.png\" class=\"attachment-stat size-stat\" alt=\"A bus and a bicycle.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sustainabilityreport.ucop.edu\/2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/08\/Transportation-bus-bicycle-icon.png 495w, https:\/\/sustainabilityreport.ucop.edu\/2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/08\/Transportation-bus-bicycle-icon-300x220.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 495px) 100vw, 495px\" \/><\/div><strong class='block-number'>76%<\/strong>\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\">of students and employees are utilizing sustainable commuting methods<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-theme-blocks-statistic wp-block is-style-horizontal has-image has-column-span has-row-span\" style=\"--column-span:1;--row-span:1\"><div class=\"block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"598\" src=\"https:\/\/sustainabilityreport.ucop.edu\/2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/08\/UC_2024_Infographics_Transportation2-600x598.png\" class=\"attachment-stat size-stat\" alt=\"An electric car.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sustainabilityreport.ucop.edu\/2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/08\/UC_2024_Infographics_Transportation2-600x598.png 600w, https:\/\/sustainabilityreport.ucop.edu\/2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/08\/UC_2024_Infographics_Transportation2-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/sustainabilityreport.ucop.edu\/2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/08\/UC_2024_Infographics_Transportation2-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/sustainabilityreport.ucop.edu\/2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/08\/UC_2024_Infographics_Transportation2-768x765.png 768w, https:\/\/sustainabilityreport.ucop.edu\/2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/08\/UC_2024_Infographics_Transportation2-100x100.png 100w, https:\/\/sustainabilityreport.ucop.edu\/2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/08\/UC_2024_Infographics_Transportation2.png 982w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/div><strong class='block-number'>58%<\/strong>\n\n<p>of all vehicles and <strong>75%<\/strong> of sedans and minivans acquired in 2024 were electric (zero-emission), plug-in hybrid or clean transportation fuel<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-theme-blocks-statistic wp-block is-style-horizontal has-image has-column-span has-row-span\" style=\"--column-span:1;--row-span:1\"><div class=\"block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"427\" height=\"469\" src=\"https:\/\/sustainabilityreport.ucop.edu\/2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/08\/UC_2024_Infographics_Transportation3.png\" class=\"attachment-stat size-stat\" alt=\"An electric vehicle charging station.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sustainabilityreport.ucop.edu\/2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/08\/UC_2024_Infographics_Transportation3.png 427w, https:\/\/sustainabilityreport.ucop.edu\/2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/08\/UC_2024_Infographics_Transportation3-273x300.png 273w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 427px) 100vw, 427px\" \/><\/div><strong class='block-number'>496<\/strong>\n\n<p>EV charging ports<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33%\">\n<p>Historically, employee absentee rates were approximately 15-18%, but post-COVID, the absentee rate dropped to 11%. The average distance of employee residences from campus increased to 18.5 miles. Changes in methodologies for calculating transportation metrics included switching from full-time equivalents as the employee population base to headcount. Next, given the growth rate in electric vehicles (EV) used for commutes, EV commutes are no longer de minimis and UCLA accounts for their emissions. Last, UCLA now calculates greenhouse gas emissions from public transit commutes, no longer assuming that those emissions are owned by the transit agencies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"water\" class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><div class=\"wp-block-theme-blocks-chart theme-block wider\" id=\"id69de712c5ee89\" style=\"--aspect-ratio:1.8\"><h2 class='block-title heading h5' tabindex='0'>WATER<\/h2><div class=\"block-chart\"><canvas id=\"chart-id69de712c5ee89\" aria-label=\"A bar graph depicts water use.
