1. NCUE Bicycle and Motorcycle Parking Facilities

(1) Installation of Changhua Public Bicycle-sharing System

The main entrance of NCUE's Jinde Campus has been rented to the Changhua County Government for the installation and operation of public bicycles since June 28, 2014 (YouBike system). The contract was renewed in 2024, and was planned to continue through 2026.Currently, the YouBike system was changed to the MOOVO system, as shown in Figure 1. In 2025, NCUE contacted the Changhua County Government to evaluate the expansion of 3 additional public bicycle stations near the Baoshan Campus and Jinde Campus. In addition to providing more options and convenience for short-distance transportation for faculty and students, NCUE aimed to encourage more teachers and students to use public transportation systems through installing more bicycle stations at both campuses. By continuously improving bicycles systems, NCUE is one step closer to achieving the goals of low carbon emissions, environmental protection, and energy conservation.

(2) The provision of parking spaces/storage facilities for bicycles and motorcycles: NCUE has set up free bicycle and motorcycle parking sheds and stands on campus, which can hold 1,722 bicycles and 3,733 motorcycles. The parking areas are open to faculty and students. For locations of parking areas on campus, please refer to Figures 2-6.

2. Professor Liang-rui Chen led a project funded by the National Science and Technology Council, titled “Field Research and Demonstration of Multiple Microgrids in a High-Penetration Photovoltaic Environment.” To provide resources for the project, a public bid was held in 2022. As the successful bidder, Creative Tech Consultants, Inc. supplied an electric bus to NCUE, which will be used in green energy field experiments (as shown in Figure 7).

3. Installation of Charging Stations in Compliance with Government Policies

In order to create a net-zero green lifestyle and promote green energy deployment for low-carbon living, NCUE installed electrical car charging stations in the parking lots of both campuses in November 2024, with 2 stations at the Jinde Campus underground parking lot, and 1 station at the surface parking lot of Baoshan Campus. The charging stations are open to faculty, students, nearby local residents, and visitors of NCUE. These installations comply with government policies and relevant regulations to support community residents in adopting a lifestyle that centers around clean energy, energy conservation, carbon reduction, and sustainable practice, Relevant photos are as shown in Figures 8-10., as shown in Figures 8-10.

4. NCUE continues to promote sustainable commuting and low-carbon transportation. The university's security team has taken the lead in using smart green electric motorcycles as the primary mode of patrol and campus security transportation (as shown in Figures 11-12). The transition has reduced carbon emissions while improving patrol efficiency and minimizing noise. Moving forward NCUE will continue to enhance campus electrification infrastructure by integrating charging facilities with vehicle management systems, progressively establishing a low-carbon and sustainable transportation environment.
