Duke Farms × The Climate Toolkit

Transportation

We connect fleet electrification, charging infrastructure, and sustainable travel with our campus energy plan. Visitor travel also matters: public charging makes the transition visible and supports lower-emission journeys to Duke Farms.

Our alignment & progress

“Achieved” is supported by Duke Farms program records or explicit completion reported by the Climate Toolkit’s Duke Farms profile, as explained for each goal. Source dates identify the period covered; they do not imply a new audit. “Not yet verified” means the reviewed evidence does not establish achievement; it does not mean no work is happening.
