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.

Vehicle Update

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
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
9
Boarding areas being
progressively upgraded with
state-of-the-art design and
amenities
