Sustainable Commuting at WU with Measures and Targets

In 2565 BE (2022 CE), Walailak University initiated a policy to drive the university towards becoming a sustainable green university that prioritizes environmental friendliness, fosters a livable community, and serves as a positive role model for the surrounding communities. To achieve these goals, Walailak University has launched initiatives and campaigns to encourage participation and awareness among its departments, staff, students, and relevant stakeholders. These efforts are focused on managing the environment within the framework of the Green University policy. This encompasses areas such as landscape management, energy conservation, waste reduction and management, water management, transportation, and environmental education.

Walailak University actively promotes the use of bicycles, walking, carpooling, and vanpool among its faculty, staff, and students. In promoting sustainable transportation and reducing the environmental impact, Walailak University has implemented a policy of limiting vehicle access to certain areas on campus. This encourages walking between buildings, which helps save fuel, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, and alleviates current traffic issues.
