CarShare

The scheme enables employees to search for colleagues doing a similar journey to work to arrange to share their journeys.

Travelling by car with other people is an easy way to cut your CO2 emissions and save money at the same time. Setting up informal arrangements with family, friends and colleagues, or joining up to the University’s Car Share Scheme are both good ways to start car sharing.

Why not save money and share your journey?

The University has its very own car share scheme that enables members of staff to search for colleagues doing a similar journey to work to arrange to share their journeys. The number of days on which you car share is completely up to you, it could be as little as once per week or every day. Including the environmental benefits there is also a significant financial saving to those who car share.

If every car commuter used an alternative on just one day a week, car usage levels would be reduced by 20% with immediate effect – meaning there’d be 400 less cars searching for the limited spaces on campus.
