  2. UC Policy on Sustainable Practices • Using the time period 2004-2005 as a baseline, campuses will strive to increase the percentage of low (PZEV) or zero-emission vehicles (ZEV) by 50% by the year 2009-2010, or to increase the number of PZEV and ZEV vehicles by 20% by the year 2009-2010, whichever is more feasible, and/or to convert campus vehicles to 50% non-carbon based fuel by year 2009-2010.
