Sustainable travel
We want to promote the most sustainable ways of travelling to College for students, staff and visitors. By using a sustainable travel option, we can all play our part in reducing the impact on the environment. There are lots of ways you can help, by:
Cycling
We have places on our campuses to store your bike securely if you want to cycle to College. Cycling to College will keep you fit while helping out the planet.
Walking
If you live close enough to your campus, walking can be great for your physical and mental wellbeing, as well as the environment
Car Sharing
If you live close to a student or colleague, this could help reduce your travel costs, as well as your carbon footprint.
Using Public Transport
Using public transport reduces the number of vehicles on the road whilst giving your extra time to study or relax on the way to college.
We have a Green Travel Plan which actively promotes sustainable forms of transport as well as the use of digital technology to eliminate or reduce the need for travel. As well as having environmental benefits, this can positively affect health and wellbeing.
