IUL has adopted a plan to improve transportation and make it sustainable, reducing congestion and pollution and to improve air quality by ensuring free transportation for IUL students, securing spots in its parking lot for private buses, and prioritizing pedestrian access in campus because all students can access all buildings and can move between buildings without any means of transportation. It is worth mentioning that the university has its own means of transportation to transport students to and from the university for free. Free transport insurance is a relevant measure to improve air quality and reduce pollution. 

The buses have several starting points to organize the process. However, some students prefer to use private buses. IUL encourages those practices by securing spots in its parking lot for those buses. 

IUL aims at prioritizing pedestrian access on campus. For this reason, IUL’s Wardenieh campus is completely accessible on foot. In other words, all students can access all buildings and can move between buildings without any means of transportation.
