Sustainable transport
Updated February 2011
For students and staff who study and work at our three campuses in
Colchester, Southend and Loughton the University's
sustainable transport strategy underpins a number of schemes and incentives
to promote alternative methods of transport to car use, and encourage greater
environmental responsibility.
Here
you'll find information on sustainable transport, along with seasonal
campaigns to promote it - for walkers or cyclists, plus other
benefits such as the cycle purchase scheme and public transport discounts -

If you're a visitor to the University looking for travel information on how
to get here, check our
campus travel guides.
"The University of Essex Transport Strategy aims to significantly decrease
car parking demand on campus and reduce the impact of University generated
traffic on the local environment, particularly in terms of congestion and carbon
emission levels. This will be achieved by increasing the opportunities for
staff, students and other campus users to travel by alternative means of
transport and a long term commitment to changing travel patterns related to
work, thereby reducing the need for single occupancy car journeys - and promote
a sustainable, integrated approach to transport both on and off campus."
