In its commitment to environmental responsibility and sustainable urban living, the University of Baguio continues to take meaningful steps toward promoting greener modes of transportation within its campus. Apart from its annual UB BIKERS event, the University also recognizes the importance of sustainable commuting in reducing carbon emissions and fostering healthier lifestyles through a dedicated bicycle parking area for both students and employees.
Located at the university’s multi-level parking facility, the bicycle parking area provides a secure and accessible space for members of the UB community who choose cycling as their preferred mode of transport. This is a testament of the University’s dedication to encouraging sustainable practices and alleviating the environmental impact of traditional vehicular commuting.
This initiative reflects UB’s proactive stance in supporting Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities, which emphasizes actions that promote a more sustainable community, including commuting options. By providing infrastructure that supports bicycle use, the University of Baguio not only contributes to a reduction in traffic congestion and carbon footprint but also creates a culture of wellness and environmental consciousness among its academic community.
As the university continues to grow and innovate, it remains committed to developing eco-friendly policies and facilities that align with its vision of a greener, more sustainable Baguio City. The bicycle parking initiative stands as a tangible expression of UB’s belief that sustainability begins with small, consistent actions that empower individuals to make responsible choices for the planet.
