There are 83 cars on DEU campuses owned and managed by the university. There are 1300 cars entering the university daily. There are 600 motorcycles entering the university daily. Therefore, the total number of vehicles divided by the total campus’ population equals to 0.027.

Dokuz Eylül University provides a free shuttle ring service for on-campus transportation, ensuring convenience for students and staff. Due to the large and sprawling nature of the Tınaztepe Campus, shuttle services are only necessary there, while other campuses are smaller and designed in a way that allows for easy on-foot transportation. At Tınaztepe Campus, the shuttle service begins at 07:40 in the morning, departing from the Eastern gate, and runs throughout the day at intervals of 10-20 minutes. The service concludes at 23:00 at night, ensuring that students and staff can easily move around the campus until late in the evening. These shuttle buses circulate around all key areas and academic units within the campus, making it easy for students to reach their classes, labs, and other facilities.

Dokuz Eylul University (DEU) has introduced an electric scooter service on its Tınaztepe Campus. These micro-mobility vehicles, situated within the DEÜ Tınaztepe Campus, offer an eco-friendly transportation option for navigating the campusDokuz Eylül University highly encourages the use of zero-emission vehicles, such as bicycles, on its campuses. To support this, bicycle lanes have been designed and made available for use on its larger campuses.

The average number of Zero‐Emmission Vehicles (ZEV) on campus is 750 per day. The total number of Zero‐Emmission Vehicles (ZEV) divided by the total campus population is found as 0.01.

The total grand parking area in the campuses is 40.621 m². The ratio of the total ground parking area to total campus area is 0.00734 (%0.73).  Parking areas for students and staff are limited; despite new faculties and units being added to our university and the university population increasing, parking capacity has remained the same since 2017. Only registered individuals can access the campus and parking areas with their vehicles. . Before 2017, the parking area was 86,900 m², but by 2023, it had decreased to 40,621 m². This shows a 53% reduction in parking areas on DEU campuses over the years. Parking areas now account for only 0.734% of the total campus land. For students and staff who prefer cycling for short distances, bicycle lanes are available on DEU campuses. With the newly designed bicycle paths, a reduction in the use of fuel-powered vehicles on campus is expected.

Overall, DEU has adopted several approaches to limit private vehicle use on campus. These include improving public transport connections, providing shuttle services, controlling access through ID cards and vehicle passes, and encouraging eco-friendly transport options like cycling.

Within DEU campuses, pedestrian pathways are extensive, actively utilized, and entirely separate from vehicular roads, offering access to every corner of Dokuz Eylül University campuses. These pedestrian paths feature special barriers designed to shield pedestrians from inclement weather conditions, such as heat or rain. Moreover, the pedestrian roads are elevated slightly above the vehicle roads and incorporate ramps, accessible routing stones, and sensitive surfaces tailored to meet the needs of individuals with disabilities. Across all campuses, there is an ample and suitable array of lighting fixtures to provide adequate illumination.

In order to manage the 83 vehicles used on university campuses and monitor transportation activities, a vehicle tracking system, designed by the university, is in place and actively utilized. This system serves as an automation platform that digitalizes the university’s transportation processes, providing a comprehensive framework for vehicle requests and usage. Departments can submit vehicle requests through this automation system, streamlining the entire process.
