Use of automobiles for commuting has been increased in moderately urbanized and sprawled cities in Japan, such as Ube city. In Engineering Campus of Yamaguchi University, ratio of car commuters reaches 56% and has been increasing. While the campus CO2 emission amounts 5,315 ton in year 2006, staffs and students commuting by car add at least 300 ton of CO2. In order to promote active and occasional use of bicycles for commuting, incentive approach is proposed in view of aerobic health effects, change of parking charges to include carbon offset, eco point deposit system, and hardware support in the campus and road network. We discuss also modal shift by active use of bicycles results in improving disaster management in communities and in the organization. Universities, corporations, and local governments have social responsibility to promote modal shift among their employees and students aiming for low carbon society, and it is time for each to take clear actions.
