Limit the Use of Private Car

According to the KMUTT transportation policy, limits on both private vehicle driving and parking area have been in place since 2015. The campus offers additional bicycle services (parking, repair shops, and facilities) and public transport such as the EV shuttle bus, but some staff and students still need a private car for travel. For this reason, more than 15 conventional car parking areas around campus were cancelled and replaced with a vertical car parking facility that provides space for 400 cars in a smaller footprint.

These changes aim to encourage a modal shift from private cars to sustainable transport options (bus, van, bike, and walk), which can improve quality of life and health. KMUTT works to reduce environmental impacts through a sustainable traffic policy and master plan improvements to limit private car use. Car pooling also helps cut fuel costs, lowers GHG emissions, eases traffic congestion, and reduces demand for parking spaces.
