When considering travel behaviour it is important to be realistic and for some travelling by car really is the only option! If it is necessary for you to drive to the University then please consider car sharing to minimise your impact.
The University is a member of Birmingham City Council's scheme carshareBirmingham.
The car share scheme enables members of staff to search for colleagues doing a similar journey to work. Once registered with the scheme staff can search a database for journey matches. Once an individual has identified another member of staff who makes a similar journey the database allows the two to contact each other to arrange to share their journeys.

Share a journey just one day a week and...
You can also register with carshareBirmingham to find travel companions for journeys by bike, bus, taxi or walking. You do not need to own a car to be part of this scheme.
