Changing commuters’ mobility behaviors of university campuses: environmental and energy comparisons

Governments are required to take proper measures promote the use of electric and hybrid vehicles and, more generally, push people towards sweeter modalities including walking biking. To reach such tight challenging goals, local institutions should be deeply involved, universities among them. The promotion sustainable mobility practices commuter students must considered indeed an effective contribution facilitating transition greener cities.

This task might accomplished involving app-based games reward behaviors. Results a couple in-field campaigns significant sample is presented here, along with obtainable environmental energy benefits. proposed method thus candidates itself tool not only academic but also administrations could make decarbonization pathways. Finally, it argued whether (as well administrations) candidate for carbon or credits within existing trading schemes because reduction consumption greenhouse gases release.
