NAUPD Ford Lightning Aid Vehicle
Project Summary:
The Northern Arizona University Police Department (NAUPD) partnered with the Green Fund to advance campus sustainability through the NAUPD Fleet EV project. To address staffing shortages, NAUPD created a Police Aide position responsible for responding to calls, towing signage, traffic control, and animal control. Initially planning to purchase a hybrid vehicle using department funds, NAUPD secured Green Fund support to cover the cost difference for a 100% electric Ford Lightning truck. The $33,062.66 total project cost also funds the trenching and electrical work required to install an EV charging station in the police compound.
