The document provides information about San Francisco International Airport's (SFO) efforts to promote green vehicles and reduce emissions. It notes that SFO serves over 45 million passengers per year and has policies requiring ground transportation services to use clean vehicles like CNG, electric, or hybrids. Over 2,000 taxis and 600 permitted vehicles at SFO use alternative fuels. SFO also offers employee incentives to take public transit and is upgrading passenger terminals to be more energy efficient.

SFO Trip Reduction and Green
Vehicle Update
Northern California Green Airport Fleet Partnership
June 25, 2014

2. Fast Facts
2
 45M passengers per year
 22% of passengers are on nonstop international flights
 71% of Bay Area air passenger traffic
 78% of passengers are originating or terminating
 4th-busiest O/D airport in the United States
 48% of passengers use shared-ride and hired driver
ground transportation

3. Transit First Policy
3
 Airtrain provides efficient access to the BART station, but
many BART passengers can walk there
 Most rubber-tired ground transportation modes serve
every terminal for pickups and dropoffs
 SFO ground transportation trip fees do not vary
significantly by size of vehicle, so high-capacity buses pay
much less on a per-passenger basis
 Shared-ride ground transportation is highlighted on the
Airport’s website

4. Ground Transportation Shares
4
 29% private motorist dropoffs
 11% drive and park
 12% rental car
 18% taxi and limousine
 13% public transit (mostly BART and airporters – 35% BART
from parts of the East Bay)
 17% shared-ride van, hotel courtesy shuttles, charter vehicles
 Rental car customers and many BART riders use Airtrain to
reach terminals
 SFO is partnering with Oakland Airport to survey 25,000
departing air passengers over an entire year to determine
local origin points, mode(s) of Airport access, frequency and
type of trips, ultimate air destination, and other information.
The survey duration is unprecedented in North America.

5. Clean Vehicle Policy
5
 Launched in 2000
 Several ground transportation sectors use 100% CNG or equivalent
emission vehicles
 Over 600 owned and permitted vehicles run on CNG, from autos to
buses
 SFO hosts one of the largest CNG refueling complexes in Northern
California, with 15 fast-fill hoses operated by two competing firms
 Clean Energy is sourcing at least 50% of its natural gas from
landfills
 Airtrain is electric-powered
 About 300 electric aircraft ground support vehicles
 Over 100 auto parking spaces with electric chargers, including
208V option
 In the next year, SFO will install 4 Level 3 DC “while-you-wait” fast
chargers for private motorists

6. Clean Vehicle Policy (cont.)
6
 Airport-owned and contractor vehicles must be powered by alternative fuels unless
manufacturers do not offer suitable product
 All Airport-owned diesel vehicles have advanced filters and use B20 biodiesel
 Each San Francisco taxi company must reduce emissions 50% from 1990 baseline,
so almost all taxis are hybrid or CNG
 Shared-ride van operators must use only CNG or equivalent emission vehicles
 To avoid a triple trip fee, hotel courtesy shuttle operators must use only CNG or
equivalent emission vehicles, and must stay below trip ceilings one third lower than
the 1999 trip count
 To avoid a triple trip fee, off-Airport parking operators must use only CNG or
equivalent emission vehicles, and may not operate more than 12 trips per hour
 SFO does not have any rental car shuttles. Passengers take the electric Airtrain to
the Rental Car Center
 On the Airport website, limousine operators are ranked by the percentage of
clean air vehicles in their fleets. Operators without any clean air vehicles are not
linked to SFO’s website

7. 2014 Clean Vehicle Count
7
 30 transit buses (CNG, filtered diesel)
 140 minibuses (CNG)
 300 vans (CNG)
 2,000 taxicabs (hybrid-electric, CNG)
 350 limousines (mostly hybrid-electric)
 100 plug-in electric and numerous hybrid rental cars
 480 airfield vehicles (electric, rebuilt diesel, propane,
CNG)
 130 BART and Airtrain cars (peak BART service to SFO)
 234 staff and utility vehicles (109 CNG, 1 plug-in electric,
26 hybrids, 98 biodiesel (36 with exhaust filters)

8. Employee Commuting
8
 Average commute is 19 miles
 Shifting employees to transit, carpools and vanpools is one of
the most productive ways of reducing our carbon emissions
 Currently 75% of Airport Commission employees drive alone,
13% take transit, and 12% carpool or vanpool
 Revenue guarantee agreement with BART eliminated the
Airport surcharge, yielding a 60%+ employee ridership
increase in one year
 Pending initiative for Airport to cover first $130/month of an
employee’s transit commute costs if they surrender their free
parking card
 The Airport’s 170 tenants are required to offer their
employees pre-tax transit payroll deduction, reimbursement of
at least $76/month in transit commute costs, or a private shuttle
to a BART station

9. Passenger Terminal Enhancement
