Travel and Transport

The money that institutions spend on travel and transport is often not immediately felt or seen. Mileage claims and vehicle fleet management are among the few which are immediately visible; what's unseen are many hidden costs, not limited to financial expenditure. For example, costs associated with staff time spent travelling, providing parking spaces year-round, and the overall carbon footprint of student and staff journeys.

The impact on the environment can be significant, especially with international journeying for studies, business, and conferences remaining popular. The much needed measures to reduce excessive vehicle use are important for any university or college seeking to achieve the aims of its environmental commitments.

Connect with other EAUC members interested in this area of sustainability, by joining the EAUC's Transport Community of Practice. This group is for EAUC members only.

EAUC-Scotland's Travel and Transport Topic Support Network (TSN) is open to all, providing an opportunity for those working in or with the further and higher education sector to share ideas and questions and to get together to hear from particular speakers or discuss topics of interest.
