Top Tips for Cheap, Green Travel
Everyone at UEA can help reduce the impact that our travel has on the environment. Some options are even cheaper and get you fitter than driving. We offer our staff and students many travel incentives to promote sustainable travel options.
Contact the Travel & Transport Team to discuss your options: we are happy to help you review your journey options and make more sustainable travel choices.
Travel Strategy and Updates
We have been committed to providing sustainable travel options throughout its history, and set in place its first travel plan 14 years ago.
Travel Plan
The Travel Plan has been updated for 2016, and will be in place until 2020. It pulls together information on transport options for visitors, staff and students to get to and from campus.
A new, user-friendly guide to travel at UEA is currently under development.
New infrastructure
We have spent over £1 million on cycle infrastructure over the last 10 years. This investment has ensured that the campus now has over 3,600 cycle parking spaces, campus-wide shower facilities, and improved lighting and CCTV on the cross-valley link.
The University, supported by the successful ‘Better Bus Area’ bid awarded to Norwich, is improving the bus infrastructure at the main bus stops. The University Drive stop was upgraded in August 2016, with Chancellors Drive also due to be improved.
Recycled materials are being used for paving and seating, whilst the canopy uses a green roof covering and plant screening. CCTV, WiFi and real-time travel information will be installed to further enhance the public transport experience. We are also hoping to enable rail ticket sales.
