According to the study carried out by the Commissariat for Sustainability of the Faculty of Engineering of the U.Porto (CS-FEUP), around 40% of its community travels to the institution daily, using the car. Knowing that the transport sector is responsible for the emission of 26% of greenhouse gases, promoting sustainable mobility is one of the objectives of CS-FEUP, with the following initiatives being highlighted:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Elaboration of estudos<\/a > to learn more about how the community travels daily to FEUP facilities, as well as the carbon footprint associated with these journeys<\/a><\/li>\n
- Provision of electric bicycles as part of the implementation of the U-Bike<\/a> project in U.Porto, whose objective is to promote smooth mobility, with a focus on bicycles, in particular electric bicycles. To find out more about the project and access to bicycles, click here<\/a><\/ li><\/li>\n
- Installation of new bike racks<\/li>\n
- Provision of chargers for electric vehicles<\/li>\n
