With changing institutional environments and higher mobility needs, electric vehicles have emerged as an alternative for commuting within an educational campus. Notably, electric rickshaws’ operation inside an educational institution is considered an energy-efficient and eco-friendly mode of the para-transit system. This research paper presents a preliminary study conducted inside an educational institution to understand passengers’ preference for electric rickshaw usage and examines commuters’ travel patterns. An online-based questionnaire survey was conducted to collect the data concerning the dynamic aspects of usage and demand of the electric rickshaws. The study used descriptive analyses to assess the users’ affinity toward green policy adoption. The preference for using of electric rickshaws for regular commuting was ranked the highest, thereby moving the campus to a sustainable transportation ecosystem. The user perception survey results reveal that there is a positive response to preference for implementation of the electric rickshaw services, which would have an impact on their daily usage of transport mode. The approach can be used to estimate trip makers demand in similar campuses of other universities and institutions towards adopting sustainable travel options like an electric rickshaw. The study also confirms that the electric rickshaws type of para-transit system unfolds unprecedented opportunities to address environmental sustainability issues.
