Undertake actions to promote more sustainable commuting.
Tamkang University actively take actions to promote more sustainable commuting, including:
◆Pedestrian-priority trail: Tamsui campus set up pedestrian-only areas that prohibit all kinds of vehicles in order to create a people-oriented, pedestrian-first space. Catering shops and stores are set up along the pedestrian areas to encourage faculty and staff to take advantage of the hiking areas throughout the school, and to also enliven campus life and create a high-quality leisure environment. In addition, since the Tamsui and the Lanyang campuses are located on the hillsides, the school then restricts the speed limit of vehicles on the campus as 20 km/h. Some sections of the road are equipped with vehicle deceleration pads (slopes) to avoid vehicle speeding and endangering the safety of pedestrians. Recently, under the guidance of the Traffic Safety Education Committee of the University, further plans have been made to add speed measuring equipment to ensure the safety of campus driving and provide safe walking space for pedestrians.
◆On-campus bus route: The most common commuting method for the faculty, staff, and students is taking buses. Since 2015, the school has been cooperating with local transportation companies to move the bus routes into the center point of the Tamsui campus to provide a more convenient experience for commuting by bus. In addition, the University has jointly organized "The best way to go" campaign with a local transport company for six consecutive years since 2016, encouraging faculty and staff to actively take the bus by rewarding winners with the most numbers of rides.
◆Public-sharing bikes: Since 2018, the Transportation Bureau of the New Taipei City has set up a Ubike sharing station next to the side gate of the university, providing a more economical option for the Tamsui campus to and from the MRT Station or the LRT Station.
◆Electric motor battery exchange station: There are many scooter parking spaces on and around the campus to provide convenience for scooter commuting. To encourage teachers and students to adopt electric scooters, the school signed an electric motor battery exchange station with Gogoro in October 2019, which is greatly supported by teachers, students, and residents with monthly users exceeding 5,000 people.
