Travel

Introduction

Edge Hill is one of the largest employers in the local area and we recognise the impact our presence has on the local transport infrastructure and our role in helping reduce congestion, noise and environmental impact.

As a result, we have developed a Travel Plan for our campus site to benefit the staff, students and wider community.

What is a Travel Plan?

A Travel Plan is a package of measures aimed at promoting sustainable travel, with an emphasis on reducing single-occupancy car travel.

Given the diverse nature of the University, the Travel Plan addresses a variety of issues including access, pedestrian safety, parking and traffic management, as well as aiming to encourage, support and complement alternative forms of travel.

Travel plans are widely recognised as a best practice measure for large institutions and the features of our Travel Plan will be detailed in these web pages for the benefit of staff, students and indeed the wider community.
