Transport and travel

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 2024-25. 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 and our Mobility Plan. Read about an example of a new pedestrian and cycle route. 

Transport and travel SMART Targets

Our current targets and some examples of how we are going to achieve them can be accessed through the sustainability targets document. 

You can also learn the results of our last year's travel surveys for students and staff. 

We are concerned about air quality in our city.  Read about how air quality affects health and learn what you can do to help. Working with Worcestershire Regulatory Services we have a project tackling traffic-related air pollution in schools.
