Almost everyone is forced to drive to various college events, club meets, and outings. This only leads to excess traffic, congestion, and frustration. It’s always a good idea to arrange for alternative group transportation in colleges and universities. This applies not only to the special events, but also to day-to-day travel.

At Be Driven, we believe that it’s environmentally responsible to choose group transportation over driving a car. Here are some facts about college transportation services that make engaging them worthwhile and convenient.

Proterra's (www.proterra.com) EcoRide BE35 transit bus, called the Ecoliner by Foothill Transit in West Covina, California, is the world’s first heavy duty, fast charge, battery-electric bus. Proterra's ProDrive drive-system uses a UQM motor and regenerative braking that captures 90% of the available energy and returns it to the TerraVolt energy storage system, which in turn increases the total distance the bus can drive by 31-35%. It can travel 30–40 miles on a single charge, is up to 600% more fuel-efficient than a typical diesel or CNG bus, and produces 44% less carbon than CNG.
