摘要:Conveniently situated in Parit Raja town which is also known as the “Education Town” in
Johor, Universiti Tun Hussien Onn Malaysia (UTHM) is a member of Malaysian Technical University
Network (MTUN). In pursuit of turning UTHM as a Green Campus, UTHM has its own ambitious targets
for sustainability. It is committed to provide sustainable, efficient, convenient, and safe travel and
transport to all students, staffs and visitors. The inception of Sustainable Campus Unit (SCU) in May
2010, showed that UTHM has doubled its green efforts and initiatives to provide sustainable travel and
transport in the campus when and where possible. The formation of Strategy in Operation (SIO5): Travel
& Transport in the SCU has encouraged active transportation and healthy commuting options in the
campus by providing a wealth of innovative green transit options including bus, bicycle, pedestrian, and
car. These options indeed will improve the quality of life on campus, strengthens UTHM ties to the
neighbouring community, and reduces impacts on the environment as travel and transport system plays an
important role on the carbon emission and pollutant level in university. This paper is therefore, trying to
discuss some issues, measures and innovative strategies employed at UTHM as an integral part to achieve
success in climbing the UI GreenMetric World University Ranking ladder.
