The Sustainable Commuting Program encourages sustainable, low-carbon travel among faculty, staff, and students at 麻豆社. The Program was designed to provide incentives to remove some of the barriers to sustainable commuting - such as costs, safety, distance from campus, and access to public transit networks - and thereby nudge behavior shifts towards sustainable modes of transport.听

Bike Commuter Subsidy: 麻豆社 employees who commit to bike to work at least 50% of the time were eligible to sign up to the听鈥�Ride & Refresh鈥� program,听a 6-month subsidized membership (May to October 2023) to access showers, locker rooms, and a towel/basket service at the 麻豆社 Sports Complex for $19.99 + tax.听

Subscription to Carpool Platform: In Fall 2023, we launched 麻豆社 Rideshare, an app to enable 麻豆社ians to easily find carpoolers, as well as biking, public transit, and walking buddies, with whom to commute.听

In launching the two incentives, the project helped expand 麻豆社's offering of sustainable travel incentives as the community returned to commuting to campus post-pandemic. We are currently exploring expanding the incentives beyond SPF seed-funding.
