Recognizing that electric vehicles emit fewer emissions than almost all comparable gasoline and hybrid cars, Brandeis has installed 10 electric vehicle charging stations at four different parking lots on campus: Admissions, Athletics, Theater and Tower.
The charging fee is 20 cents per kwh. Drivers are permitted to park at the stations only while their vehicles are charging.

A vanpool is a group of people with a similar origin, destination and schedule who share the costs of commuting to work and back in a vehicle with seven or more seats. Group members share the cost of the monthly van rental as well as gas, insurance and incidental expenditures. Vanpools provide a great opportunity to help lower commuting costs; relax on your way to work; make new friends; and reduce emissions. Commuters can set up their own vanpools with outside vendors such as Enterprise, or inquire about shuttle services such as those from 128 Business Council.
