Overview
UPES encourages students, faculty and staff to walk, cycle, share rides and use electric vehicles, and tracks commuting habits through surveys so that it can set targets for more sustainable travel.
Walking and cycling
Pedestrian pathways across campus are maintained to be safe and pleasant to walk on.
Secure bicycle parking is available, and dedicated cycle tracks are being developed.
Shared transport
Shuttle buses connect the campuses with local transit points and key destinations.
Carpool and vanpool programmes and ride-sharing reduce single-occupancy car trips.
Electric vehicles
Electric vehicle charging stations are installed on campus.
Reserved or preferential parking is offered to electric and fuel-efficient vehicles.
Electric carts carry people around the campus.
Planning
Regular surveys of commuting habits give UPES a baseline, and sustainable commuting is built into the wider campus sustainability and climate action plans, alongside awareness campaigns.
