SI 2.5 Comprehensive Eco-friendly Transportation Systems

[SI 2.5.1] Planning, implementation, monitoring and/or evaluation


Planning, implementation, monitoring and/or evaluation of all programs related to Transportation (Siam University, Thailand)

Description:

Siam University (SU) locates in the urban area of Bangkok situating in the heart of Phasi Charoen District, Thailand. The campus is near Bang Chak canal, which flows into the Chao Phraya River and the Gulf of Thailand as well as the new green-line Bangkok Mass Transit System (BTS) and blue-line Metropolitan Rapid Transit (MRT). Moreover, only 2-kilometer walking from the campus to the all-public transports is convenient. However, Siam University also concerns many programs related to transportation affecting environmental pollution, such as CO₂ emission. Therefore, we have some programs for planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation related to Transportation, comprising several initiatives to limit or decrease environmental pollution, i.e., parking zone limitation, available free ZEV in the campus, and public transports campaign, etc. Data of numbers of private vehicles entering the campus is received from automatic barrier gates. These data is used to calculate the carbon footprint and parking limitation area. After these initiatives have been provided in the campus, the numbers of vehicles entering the campus decrese more than 30% resulting in a reduction of carbonfoot print in the campus.
