Our latest University of Reading Travel Plan 2022-23 sets out our plans and targets to support sustainable travel. It is extremely important that the University continues to set targets and make progress against them in order to minimise our impact on the local environment. This will feed into a new 5 year Travel Plan in due course.
We met our stretch target for 87% of travel to the University to be via sustainable modes of travel in 2022 (not single occupant vehicle). More detail of previous sustainable travel plans can be found in the 2017-2022 Travel Plan. Our Travel Plan is monitored by the biannual travel survey.
The University conducts a survey of staff and student travel every two years. This is both to monitor progress against the Travel Plan targets, and to identify what improvements staff and students would like to see to ease their journey to campus.
The 2024 Travel Survey was conducted during January 2024 - a massive thank you to all the people who supported the delivery of the survey and all the staff and students that completed it. Analysis of the results has now been completed and the results are available via the link below:
