Green transportation:
Green transportation promotes low-pollution, energy-saving, and smart transportation tools to create a safe, comfortable, environmentally friendly, and mutually beneficial transport environment. Its main focus is low-pollution transportation suited to urban settings. Chung Yuan’s green transportation program has four parts: public transportation, a carpooling system, bicycles and walking, and low-pollution vehicles. Public transportation is the main mode, with bicycles and walking as supplementary green modes. The University joined the “YouBike Carbon Reduction Passbook” promotion program, and its faculty, staff, and students are supporting net-zero emissions through concrete action. A total of 299 faculty, staff, and students joined the University’s organizational group on the YouBike Carbon Reduction Passbook app, and their cumulative annual carbon reduction reached 1,018 kg CO₂e. Daily commuting has also become a measurable campus sustainability indicator, which both encourages green transportation and helps the campus meet specific carbon reduction targets.
