The Vehicle Management Committee formulates the all-vehicle policy of National Chiayi University, and its affiliated working groups execute related affairs, including the Zero Emission Vehicle Policy. The Vehicle Management Committee meets once a semester to discuss and review related issues and policies, then adjusts them based on actual conditions. The school stipulates that motorcycles are not allowed to enter the campus. Only electric vehicles, bicycles, and other zero-emission vehicles can enter. The following details the content and actions of the zero-emission vehicles policy.
ZEV Mandate: The university’s Vehicle Management Committee has established a mandate that all official university vehicles must be zero-emission by 2030. To support this, the "Vehicle Procurement Guidelines" prioritize purchasing ZEVs for the campus fleet. 87 official vehicles have been gradually replaced in the past two years, with 21 already converted to electric vehicles by 2023. This transition will continue with additional incentives for faculty and students to use electric vehicles on campus.
Campus Entry Policy: Motorcycles are not allowed on campus. Part areas allow only zero-emission vehicles, such as electric vehicles and bicycles, to enter, reflecting NCYU's commitment to a sustainable, low-emission environment.
Charging Infrastructure: The campus is equipped with solar-powered charging stations for electric cars and electric motorcycles, facilitating the use of zero-emission vehicles by providing convenient charging options.
Educational Initiatives: Regularly promote and enhance the sustainable literacy of teachers and students in conjunction with general education micro-credit courses.
Collaboration: National Chiayi University serves as a net-zero demonstration site. We collaborate with the Chiayi City Government to set up YouBike (2.0) on campus, and all the buses entering the campus are electric in compliance with the standards of a net-zero educational demonstration site
Car-Sharing and Ride-Sharing Programs: NCYU promotes carpooling and ride-sharing through partnerships with local transportation services. The university offers 24-hour iRent car-sharing services, allows electric buses on campus, and has organized carpooling groups for faculty and students. Additionally, electric vehicles are available for on-campus shuttle services.
Policy Review and Adjustment: The Vehicle Management Committee meets every semester to review and adjust the ZEV policy based on technological advances, funding changes, and community feedback, ensuring the policy remains practical and relevant.
Funding and Grants: NCYU allocates funds annually to maintain ZEV facilities and applies for additional funding from the Ministry of Environment and the Bureau of Energy to further support net-zero infrastructure.
