The University promotes sustainable travel for students, staff and visitors.

Transport-related carbon emissions are one of our largest contributions to the University’s total carbon footprint. We have a Travel and Transport Steering Group chaired by an academic whose research is in pro-environmental behaviours, Dr Daniel Farrelly. Many travel carbon savings have already been achieved, and we have one of the largest EV charging car parks in Europe. Read our latest data from our student and staff travel surveys. The travel and Transport Steering group is developing workstreams and actions, with our local transport providers, and local authority, to promote active and sustainable transport for campus users, which will inform the updating of the Travel Plan.
