What is the Group for?

The group is focusing on managing the University of Bradford's SMART Move Green Travel Plan and reducing the carbon emissions relating from commuter and business travel. This can be done by a number of means through making public transport easier or cheaper, provision of cycle facilities or helping people to work or study from home. Current projects include:

Building a Sustainability Framework into the new travel policy encouraging using technology to eliminate the need for travel and to discourage flying and single occupancy car journeys.
Reviewing the A99 bus service between School of Management and City
Centre Campus.
Help provide the free City Bus starting in September 2008.
Provision of a network of cycle cages for secure storage on all campuses

Who's Involved?

A large number of staff & students interested in every travel issue you can possibly imagine!

Big Issues

Supporting public transport, cycling and walking; making non-car-based travel more attractive to staff and students; security and safety regardless of method of travel; redesign of car parking areas to make centre of main campus less car-dominated.

Watch Out for

Road closures (Longside Lane and Richmond Road); improved A99 service to and from Management Centre; more cycle facilities; free campus - city centre bus; demolition of Longside halls and re-arrangement of car parking areas; better signage and more joined up green space on campus for pedestrians.
