11.4.2 Promote sustainable commuting

Between January and March 2024, the Student Affairs Division of Srinakharinwirot University (SWU) organized the “Recycle, Global Recycling” campaign, inviting students, staff, and nearby community members to take part in sustainability-driven activities. The initiative aimed to strengthen community engagement and environmental responsibility in line with SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities.

Through these activities, participants were encouraged to cultivate a sense of shared responsibility, dedicating their time and creativity to developing assistive devices for the elderly and underprivileged. This collaborative effort not only promoted resource efficiency and social inclusion but also fostered SWU as a model community that embodies the spirit of sustainable and inclusive urban development.

SWU Ongkharak Campus has a fleet of electric shuttle buses transporting students and staff across campus all day long, from 0600 to 2400. There are 4 routes taken by the buses which are well utilized due to the number of vehicles provided and their frequency of travel.

SWU Ongkharak Campus have a fleet of SWU-owned bicycles available for free to all students and staff, along with a well utilized network of bicycle paths providing safe roads for bike users throughout the campus.

There is safety marking along the entire covered walkway routes, and the walkways are well-lit for pedestrians to use at night. Ramps for pedestrians with physical disabilities can be seen throughout the campus.
