Transport

Greener journeys

We actively encourage staff and students to use greener transport options and limit the number of cars on campus. Of course, we understand that for some members of staff, driving is the only viable option. That’s why we’ve set up one of the city’s biggest car-sharing schemes, as well as investing heavily in cycling and footpaths.

What the University is doing

Transporting 500,000 passengers a year on our free intercampus bus service. This is one of the few schemes of its kind at any UK university
Running a car-share scheme for University staff
Running a U Cycle project with over 200 student hire bikes, and a number of events and activities
Giving staff the chance to buy cycles through payroll and save hundreds of pounds
Investing in cycle paths and facilities across our campuses

What you can do

Cycle. It’s good for your health, your pocket and the environment - just 1 day a week makes a difference. Plus, all our campuses have plenty of places to lock up your bike and showers to freshen up. Read about U Cycle and other cycling schemes
