Sustainable travel
Making more sustainable travel choices is a simple way to reduce your carbon footprint. At Birmingham City University (ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø), we're committed to reducing our travel emissions. That's why we carried out our latest travel survey in 2024, to see how we're doing and where we can improve. Following this survey, we've created our , which sets ambitious targets for changing the way we travel at ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø by 2030.Â
The figures below are highlights from the Travel Plan and survey.Â
44% of ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø students travel to uni by bus
5% decrease in staff travelling in single-occupancy car since 2022

ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø’s 2025-30 Travel Plan aims to reduce transport-related carbon emissions, improve the health and wellbeing of students and staff, and encourage sustainable travel across our City Centre, City South, and satellite campuses.
