We aim to help reduce congestion in the city – especially along Oxford Road – and minimise emissions by offering environmentally friendly incentives to our colleagues. These include interest-free loans for public transport season tickets, and a Cycle to Work scheme including 4,000 cycle parking spaces across campus.  

Our key travel commitments  

  • Limit annual air travel emissions to 50% of our 2018/19 level. 
  • Estimate and reduce our staff and students' travel emissions as part of their University lives. 
  • De-carbonise fleet vehicles by 2030 and provide electric vehicle charging points for staff, students and visitors. 
  • Promote active travel (walking, cycling) and encourage virtual meetings where possible.
