Macao Polytechnic University – Knowledge, Expertise, Global Vision!

Green Commuting

Macao Polytechnic University promotes green commuting by encouraging the use of environmentally friendly commuting ways, such as walking, shuttle bus, public transportation, and electric vehicles. The aim is to reduce pollution, improve energy efficiency, and promote better health. The university is committed to reducing energy consumption and minimizing environmental pollution associated with commuting.

We adopt the following practices for more sustainable commuting target:

PEDESTRIAN PRIORITY ON CAMPUS

The university prioritises pedestrian access on campus. There are pedestrian sidewalks with sufficient space and width for providing users a safe and comfortable environment. Pedestrian zones are designed to connect main buildings on campus. Visitors can reach all locations within the campus by walking.

SHUTTLE BUS

The university offers shuttle bus travelling between Macao and Taipa campuses, to provide a more eco-friendly approach.

PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION

The university encourages students to use public transportation in order to reduce carbon emissions. Bus discounted fare is offered to students when they present their student Macau Pass. For the same distance traveled, taking public transportation can result in over six times less carbon dioxide emissions compared to driving a car.

ELECTRIC VEHICLES

Electric vehicles can reduce carbon emissions and are considered more environmentally friendly than cars. The university is currently constructing a new building with parking facility that includes dedicated parking spots for electric vehicles. Charging stations for electric vehicles will be installed to encourage the use of electric vehicles for commuting. The completion and utilization of this facility are expected to take place in 2024.
