Join the San Mateo County Community Colleges in celebrating the grand opening of our electric vehicle charging stations.
The celebration will begin at Skyline College at 11:30 am. An electric car rally will roll down Highway 280 to the College of San Mateo and finish under the checkered flag at Cañada College, Parking Lot 4, at approximately 1:30 pm.
In 2012, the College District collaborated with Schneider Electric in a public/private partnership to install eleven Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations at each of its campuses and the District Office.
The District received funding from the California Energy Commission (CEC) to develop and deploy alternative and renewable fuels and advanced transportation technologies to help attain the state’s climate change policies. Furthermore, the District matched the funds of the CEC to achieve its goals for sustainability: improve the campus-wide system of alternative fuel infrastructure, support the use of electric vehicles, decrease greenhouse gas emissions, establish workforce training programs and offer opportunities for student learning.
