The main entrance of Jinde Campus has been rented to the Changhua County Government since June 28, 2014 as a public bicycle station (YouBike system). On January 6, 2021, the contract was renewed for the term January 7, 2021–December 31, 2023. (MOOVO system, as shown in Figure 1) In addition to providing convenient local transportation for staff and students, the project aims to encourage teachers and students to use public transportation, lower carbon emissions, and contribute toward environmental protection and energy saving.
