Our Travel Plan | Transport | University of Southampton

The University's existing Travel Plan covers the period 2020-2030, and looks to build upon the successes from 2015-2020 when we managed to meet our Travel Plan targets.

The 2024 update establishes a baseline for business travel in alignment with our Sustainability Strategic Plan, and will lead into travel surveys and wider engagement through the next review period. As in previous updates, the Travel Plan sets out a series of measures to encourage staff, students and university visitors to adopt more sustainable travel habits.

Promoting more sustainable means of transport;
Promoting smarter ways of working to reduce the need to travel;
Reviewing our performance against Travel Plan targets and KPI’s

Regular staff and student travel surveys are carried out to inform the content of the Travel Plan, and are summarised within the Travel Plan documents.
