Green transport refers to any means of sustainable transport with low impact to the environment, and includes human or animal muscle-powered vehicles, low-carbon fueled vehicles, or any kind of vehicle using a renewable source of energy for its propulsion.

The form of green transport that this study will focus on is cycling, with considerations for electric vehicles kept in mind. The main reasons for choosing cycling as the focus are:
No air pollution (zero CO2 emissions)
Convenience as bicycles are common compared to the newer green vehicles
Adaptable to existing roads, paths and bicycle stands

Since most of the NUS populace occupies the Kent Ridge campus, it is therefore sensible to focus on this campus. A study was done to first go through the general status of the existing routes to see if they are suitable for cycling. Then, the more suitable routes will be identified. Lastly, suggestions will be made for future considerations of implementing smaller green vehicles in the campus.
