Universities are responsible for developing their transportation and housing systems in environmentally, economically, and socially sustainable ways in alignment with the goal of sustainable cities and communities. In this context, institutions contribute to urban sustainability by promoting low-carbon transportation options (such as bicycles, electric vehicles, public transport, and walkable campuses), providing accessible and affordable housing, improving energy-efficient dormitories and residences, and collaborating with local governments.
In line with this approach, Sakarya University provides free shuttle services, bicycle paths, electric scooter zones, and public transportation integration to facilitate the mobility of staff and students.
Additionally, the university offers affordable housing and dormitory options around the campus to reduce the living costs of academic and administrative personnel. These facilities encourage staff to reside close to campus, thereby reducing transport-related carbon emissions and enhancing quality of life.
