Transportation policy
Encouraging public transport
The university's transportation strategy aims to reduce car use by staff, students and visitors and encourage more sustainable modes of travel by:
- restricting vehicular access to the site whilst improving pedestrian routes;
- reducing on-site car parking and continuing to increase the price of parking permits;
- the development of secure bicycle storage and biker changing facilities;
- the siting of student accomodation within easy walking distance or on good public transport routes;
- negotiating of concessionary fares for students and staff on public transport.
Most of these measures are in the process of implementation.
