Mail Services' Last Mile Initiative supports campus sustainability goals by reducing carbon emissions and the number of vehicles on campus and increasing safety and security by utilizing university employees already servicing existing delivery routes. 

The project is currently focused on the approximately 25,000 packages coming in to campus from Fisher Scientific annually, but the intent is to expand to other large suppliers in the future to further reduce the number of non-university vehicles on campus.

Here’s how it works:

• Pallets of Fisher Scientific packages arrive early each morning at Central Receiving,
• the packages are assigned to department delivery locations in AggieLogistics,
• Mail Services delivers the packages to the locations that day, or the next day if the location is closed, and,
• the recipient receives a confirmation email once the package has been delivered.
