Mobility

In 2021-2022, the University welcomed an average of more than 5000 pedestrians every month. The Loyola Heights campus is designed to be easy to navigate through the covered walkway network that connects buildings and allows pedestrians to walk even when it is raining. In the In the LS Undergraduate Student Handbook 2022, walking is recommended to be the primary means of getting around using the expanded walkways and brick paths.

To encourage the community to commute using bicycles, scooters and other forms transport, there are bicycle racks conveniently placed throughout the campus. These are complemented by designated bicycle lanes that can be found on all campus roads.

In the University, an Electric Jeep shuttles passengers around the campus, while the Basic Education Unit provides their students access to morning and afternoon school bus services. In the Ateneo Junior High School, students are required to join a carpool or simply walk when on campus which has helped ease congestion problems. In the Loyola Schools, the Department of Student Welfare and Services facilitates the car-pooling services and reserves convenient parking spaces for College students who join this service.

Ejeep in action

Five Electric Jeeps, or Ejeeps, shuttle passengers around the campus through efficient routes and release 2.5 times less MT CO2 compared to tricycles. After transporting passengers across campus, these Ejeeps return to a designated charging station found beside one of the campus gates.
