11.4.2 Promote sustainable commuting
In 2025, Srinakharinwirot University (SWU) undertook actions to promote more sustainable commuting for students, staff and visitors. The university provided a free, 100% electric shuttle bus service that connects with public transportation at its Ongkharak campus, and opened a charging station for electric vehicles at its Prasarnmit campus. These actions give people options to travel to and around the campuses without relying on private fuel-powered cars.
1) Free electric shuttle bus linked to public transportation (EV Kapor)
In 2025, the EV Kapor service continued to operate at SWU’s Ongkharak campus in Nakhon Nayok. Kapor is a shuttle bus provided as a university welfare service. The shuttles are 100% electric vehicles and are managed by the SWU Sustainable Development Division to support the university’s green university approach in line with the SDGs. The service is free for students, staff and members of the public who use the Ongkharak campus, with the aim of encouraging people to use shared, low-emission transport instead of driving their own vehicles.

The shuttle network has 4 lines: an express line and Lines 1, 2 and 3. Stops serve student dormitories, the car park, the Plaza building, the medical centre, faculty buildings, the library, and Gates 1 and 2. The stop at Gate 2 is also the pick-up point for public vans, so people can travel to the campus by public transportation and continue their journey on the free electric shuttle.

2) Charging station for electric vehicles at Prasarnmit campus
On 16 June 2025, SWU officially opened the #EvSmartCharger electric vehicle charging station on Level B1 of the underground car park at its Prasarnmit campus in Bangkok. The opening ceremony was attended by university executives and Prasarnmit campus staff. The station provides charging for electric vehicles on campus and supports a shift towards lower-emission commuting.
