UMPSA Bicycle Policy
UNIVERSITI MALAYSIA PAHANG AL-SULTAN ABDULLAH (UMPSA) encourages and supports the use of bicycles by students and faculty staff for commuting within the campus area. Bicycling is a healthy lifestyle and is known to have numerous medical benefits – the activity also promotes sustainability through reducing fossil fuel consumption as well as reducing greenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere. In order to ensure a safe bicycling environment within the university area this Bicycle and Bicycling Policy is established to serve the UMPSA community.
