In an effort to realize a cleaner and more sustainable environment, Telkom University is committed to supporting the reduction of carbon gas emissions through various environmentally friendly initiatives. One of the concrete steps taken is the provision of bicycle parking facilities throughout the campus area. This facility is designed to facilitate students who choose bicycles as their main mode of transportation, as part of the Green Campus concept that continues to be promoted by the university.

Why Bicycles?

Bicycles are an environmentally friendly means of transportation, without carbon emissions, and can help reduce air pollution caused by motor vehicles. By increasing the number of bicycle users on campus, greenhouse gas emissions from the use of motor vehicles can be minimized. In addition, bicycles also encourage a healthy lifestyle for students and campus staff by providing sports facilities that are easily accessible every day.

Provision of Adequate Bicycle Parking

Telkom University has prepared bicycle parking in several strategic locations on campus, which can be easily accessed by all students and staff. These parking facilities are designed to be safe and comfortable, allowing bicycle users to store their vehicles without worrying about loss or damage. With the availability of bicycle parking at various points, it is hoped that students will be increasingly encouraged to switch from motor vehicles to bicycles.

Reducing Carbon Footprint in Campus Environment

Using bicycles as the main transportation on campus not only helps reduce traffic jams and air pollution, but also directly reduces the carbon footprint left by motorized vehicles. Currently, the transportation sector is one of the largest contributors to carbon emissions in the world, and simple steps such as encouraging bicycle use can have a significant impact on the environment.

Sustainable Infrastructure Support

The provision of bicycle parking is also part of a broader strategy in creating sustainable campus infrastructure. By combining efficient land use and environmentally friendly transportation facility management, Telkom University continues to strive to create a learning environment that is not only comfortable, but also in line with the principles of sustainability.

Future Direction

The bicycle parking initiative is just one of the many steps taken by Telkom University in an effort to achieve a Green Campus. In the future, the university plans to continue to expand other environmentally friendly facilities, such as special bicycle lanes, electric vehicles, and more cool green spaces. These steps are expected to inspire the entire academic community and the wider community to play an active role in preserving the environment.

By supporting the use of bicycles and providing adequate facilities, Telkom University has demonstrated a strong commitment to reducing carbon emissions and improving the quality of life in the campus environment. This initiative is expected to be an example for other campuses in realizing a greener and more sustainable learning environment.
