Thanks to Nottingham City Council's commitment to carbon neutrality by 2028, sustainable transport options abound:
As if that's not enough, NTU is actively enhancing on-campus safety for students. Secure cycle storage and increased street lighting make it easier and safer for you to navigate without the need for a car.
But what does this mean for your carbon footprint? We've broken down the emissions for traveling one mile in each mode of transport. Let's dive into our carbon comparisons below:
Discover the green and wallet-friendly ways to travel to and around campus!
City Campus is easily accessible by bus, tram, cycling, or walking. Here's how:
Tram Convenience: NTU has its own tram stop at the heart of City Campus. Jump on at home and step off just minutes away from your lectures. Grab a discounted day, week, month, or academic pass through the NetGo app or at the platform. Remember to snag your ticket before boarding to avoid fines!
Local Explorer: Living nearby? Walk or cycle to campus and stay fit while saving cash. Nottingham is pedestrian-friendly, and NTU has cycling infrastructure for secure bike storage. No bike? No worries! Rent one from NTU Bike Hub for just £49 a year.
Drive Smart: If you're driving from afar, plan your journey wisely. City centre parking is limited, and there's no on-campus parking for students. Utilise recommended sites like The Forest, Phoenix Park, or Toton Lane, and catch a tram serving Toton Lane or Clifton South.
Although Clifton Campus is a bit further, you can still connect effortlessly:
Student-Friendly Ride: The Number 4 bus stops on campus, right outside the Students' Union building. During term-time, this bus runs between City and Clifton campus, offering a discounted pass when you show your student ID.
Tram Trek: Trams between Clifton South and Phoenix Park run close to Clifton Campus. A 15-minute walk from Rivergreen tram stop provides a breath of fresh air!
Escape the city centre traffic with the Number 26 bus to Southwell, stopping right outside NTU Brackenhurst Campus every 30 minutes!
Confetti is a short walk or bike ride from the city centre, with convenient bus options:
For Mansfield Campus, the Stagecoach Pronto bus links Mansfield and Nottingham city centre. Flash your student ID for a cool 30% off!
