To improve traffic order around the campus and better meet students’ on‑campus parking needs, Yuan Ze University initiated the construction of new motorcycle parking facilities after receiving official approval in December 2025. The project was recently completed, and an inauguration ceremony was held on February 26, 2026 (Thursday) in the morning, during which the Dongtai Street side gate was simultaneously opened to traffic.
The ceremony was attended by Hsin‑Fu Chang, Director‑General of the Taoyuan City Government Transportation Bureau, along with University administrators and representatives of faculty and students, marking an important milestone in campus transportation development.
In his remarks, Ching‑Jung Liao, President of Yuan Ze University, stated that the University had long valued student feedback regarding commuting and campus living environments. The planning of the motorcycle parking facilities—from site selection and traffic flow design to management mechanisms—was carried out based on students’ actual needs. He expressed hope that the enhanced parking capacity would reduce inconvenience for students commuting to and from campus while also improving surrounding road conditions. President Liao added that the University would continue to invest resources to create a safer and more student‑friendly commuting environment, and he expressed gratitude to the Taoyuan City Government Transportation Bureau and various campus units for their support and collaboration.
Hsin‑Fu Chang, Director‑General of the Taoyuan City Government Transportation Bureau, noted that the official opening of the motorcycle parking facilities symbolized another upgrade in campus infrastructure at Yuan Ze University. In response to the growing number of faculty, students, and international students, the University had proactively invested in developing structured parking spaces to address long‑standing issues of traffic congestion and insufficient parking in surrounding areas. The new facilities were expected to enhance safety and convenience, optimize traffic conditions between the campus and the local community, and align with smart campus and sustainability principles to create a more friendly and efficient learning and living environment.
Po‑Chien Lee, Director‑General of the Office of General Affairs, Yuan Ze University, explained that the motorcycle parking facilities covered both the commuter zone and the dormitory zone, providing a total of more than 2,100 parking spaces. The newly inaugurated commuter parking area offered 1,625 spaces and was open daily from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. The dormitory parking area, which was nearing completion, provided 546 spaces and was open 24 hours a day to accommodate the long‑term parking needs of resident students. To prevent abandoned vehicles from occupying spaces for extended periods, a management policy required vehicles to exit and re-enter at least once within one month.
During the initial phase of operation, both parking areas were free of charge. Plans included the installation of canopies and the integration of solar energy facilities to improve parking quality while supporting energy conservation and carbon reduction policies. Director‑General Lee noted that the new facilities effectively alleviated parking pressure during peak hours, reduced illegal parking in surrounding areas, and improved pedestrian safety. The University would continue to refine traffic flow, road markings, lighting, and guidance systems to progressively build a safe, convenient, and sustainability-oriented campus commuting environment.
