In an effort to support the concept of Green Campus and create a cleaner and more sustainable environment, Telkom University has now started introducing electric bicycles as an environmentally friendly transportation solution on campus. This program is designed to reduce the use of motorized vehicles that produce carbon emissions, while providing a comfortable and efficient transportation alternative for students, lecturers, and campus staff.

Why Electric Bicycles?
Electric bicycles were chosen because they are considered an efficient and environmentally friendly mode of transportation. Compared to motorized vehicles that produce exhaust gases such as carbon dioxide (CO₂) and other pollutants, electric bicycles do not produce direct emissions when used. With rechargeable batteries, electric bicycles also have higher energy efficiency and much lower operating costs.

In addition, electric bicycles are perfect for campuses because of their compact size, ease of use, and no air pollution or noise. This supports a calm and comfortable campus atmosphere, while reducing the carbon footprint of daily transportation.

Reducing Carbon Emissions
The use of electric bicycles on campus significantly contributes to the reduction of carbon emissions produced by motorized vehicles. With more students and staff switching to using electric bicycles, the volume of motorized vehicles passing through the campus is reduced, so that air pollution and carbon footprints can be reduced.

As an illustration, every time students use electric bicycles instead of motorized vehicles, they help reduce CO₂ emissions that are usually produced from the use of fossil fuels. This is in line with Telkom University’s commitment to supporting a greener and more sustainable environment.

Health and Environmental Benefits
In addition to the positive impact on the environment, the use of electric bicycles also brings health benefits to users. Cycling, although assisted by electricity, still involves physical activity that is good for heart health and body fitness. With more and more students choosing electric bicycles, not only is the air quality better, but also the health of the academic community is better maintained.

Furthermore, this initiative also helps reduce congestion around campus, makes traffic smoother, and makes the campus environment more friendly to pedestrians and cyclists.

Conclusion
The use of electric bicycles on campus is a real step by Telkom University in supporting the Green Campus program and reducing carbon emissions. By facilitating and encouraging the use of electric bicycles, the campus not only contributes to environmental sustainability, but also improves the quality of life and health of the academic community.

This initiative shows that environmentally friendly transportation solutions can be implemented easily and have a significant impact on creating a greener and more sustainable campus. Telkom University continues to be committed to realizing an educational environment that is balanced between technology, health, and environmental sustainability.
