1 | Mission, vision, and values of UPV_ 2023 in sustainable mobility.

The Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV) is an institution committed to the environment, specifically to sustainable mobility, which is responsible for managing and minimizing the environmental impact it generates and for assuming its exemplary role towards society.
The UPV aspires to be an exemplary model of healthy, safe, and low-emission university mobility, characterized by:

  • To carry out effective and participatory mobility management.
  • Encourage walking, cycling, and the use of public transport.
  • Encourage the rational use of private motorized vehicles.
  • To sustainably manage the distribution of goods and the mobility of outsourced services.
  • Minimize the accident rate due to mobility, both for internal and external travel.
  • Promote education and participation of the university community in mobility matters.

This commitment to the mobility model is embodied in implementing and maintaining an improvement action plan integrated into the current Environmental Management System according to the EMAS Regulation that the UPV has.

Its purpose has been to prepare a diagnosis that gives us complete information on the current situation of the three campuses in terms of mobility, involving the university community through the various participatory processes carried out in this diagnostic phase.
