When it comes to getting to, from and around our campuses, it’s important to know the convenient and sustainable transport options available.
Driving isn’t the only way and choosing an alternative option can save you time and money, as well as contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
We are committed to supporting students and staff to choose sustainable transport and have developed a Sustainable Transport Strategy.
