Abstract

Vehicle kilometers traveled is the distance travel by vehicles in a specific area during a given period of time. The aim of this study is to estimate the carbon emission produced by vehicles using VKT data. This study was conducted via online questionnaire survey. The findings have shown the VKT of UiTM campus population are in the range of 0.6 to 3.7 km/day and the highest mode of transportation used by students and staff are private vehicles which contribute 85.01 kgCO₂ for a week's trip.
