1. Covered walkways and bike lanes to encourage walking and cycling.
Srinakharinwirot University provides dedicated pedestrian and cycling infrastructure that supports active and low-carbon mobility on campus. The referenced materials include campus images and layouts showing covered walkways linking key academic buildings, dormitories, and common areas, which protect users from sun and rain and make walking a more attractive option. In addition, the documentation highlights designated cycling routes and facilities that allow students to use bicycles safely within the campus area. Together, these features demonstrate a deliberate effort to prioritise walking and cycling as convenient, everyday modes of transport for the University community.

2. Deployment of non-polluting or low-emission shuttles or trams within the campus.
The University operates an organised welfare shuttle system for both staff and students, designed to reduce reliance on individual private vehicles. According to the welfare transport manual, the institution provides vans and buses on fixed routes and timetables, with access managed through the SWU Mobile application and QR code–based check-ins for each trip. Shuttle services cover key corridors, including inter-campus travel between Prasarnmit and Ongkharak as well as connections to external nodes, while journey data are recorded for planning and optimisation. By consolidating mobility needs into shared vehicles and managing them through a structured, technology-supported system, the University effectively lowers per-person emissions associated with internal and inter-campus travel.

3. Integration of campus transportation services with public transportation networks.
The University enhances sustainable access to its campuses by integrating its shuttle services with the wider public transportation network. The referenced video showcases a welfare bus route that connects SWU Ongkharak Campus directly with Rangsit Railway Station on the Red Line mass transit system, providing a seamless link between the campus and Bangkok’s urban rail network. This arrangement enables students and staff to combine train travel with University-operated shuttles, reducing the need to drive private cars over long distances and supporting a modal shift toward public transport–based commuting.

4. Implementation of a private parking control policy to reduce vehicle usage on campus.
The University regulates private vehicle use through a formal parking management policy. The car park document sets out the rules and conditions for using on-campus parking facilities, including designated parking zones, eligibility and registration requirements, time limits, and fee structures. By defining how and when private vehicles may access specific parking areas—and by limiting parking privileges through controlled permits and regulations—the University encourages more efficient use of parking space and discourages unnecessary car trips into the campus. This parking control framework complements the shuttle and active-mobility measures and forms a key component of the overall strategy to reduce private vehicle usage on campus.
