Abstract
University campuses are one of the most important human communities that play a role in higher education and innovation for the further development of human societies. Due to the increasing demand for higher education degrees, the number of people on university campuses has increased significantly. This population increase has created numerous environmental, economic, and cultural challenges for university campus management systems. One of the most fundamental challenges on university campuses today is the issue of transportation. Many studies have been conducted on the benefits of developing sustainable transportation on university campuses, which highlights the need to implement multiple strategies to develop the use of these sustainable systems. Therefore, this study, based on the qualitative research method of Arksey and O'Malley's scoping review, has searched for studies published in the Web of Science (WOS) and Scopus databases between 2013 and 2025 to explain the importance, necessity, types of sustainable transportation systems, and the most common strategies for developing the use of these systems on university campuses based on research conducted worldwide. The results shed light on the fact that transportation systems based on walking, cycling, and public transportation are the most important types of systems, and the most common strategies for developing the use of these systems are parking lot management, development of pedestrian, bicycle, and public transportation infrastructure, and expansion of the use of shared vehicles. Finally, general and specific solutions for the successful development and promotion of the use of sustainable transportation systems on university campuses are presented.
