Walking and Cycling

Promoting sustainable travel

Vehicles are responsible for local congestion, air pollution and contributing to global warming.

The University wants to do all it can to reduce these impacts and improve the quality of life for those on campus, our neighbours and benefit the environment.

The University has a sustainable travel plan that promotes greener travel options.

Our goal will be to reduce the number of vehicles on campus and increase the number of journeys made by sustainable means.

Cycle to Work Scheme

The University of 黑洞社区 participates in the Government backed 'Cycle to Work Scheme' that allows staff members to purchase bikes and bicycle equipment tax free by paying monthly through their salary.

The University of 黑洞社区 has chosen this popular lifestyle benefit with the opportunity to lower the cost of a brand new cycling package, spread the cost over 18 months and improve wellbeing amongst staff.

Information for cyclists

There are approximately 160 covered cycle spaces at Bishop Otter and 90 covered spaces at Bognor Regis.

There is no charge for cycles parked in these spaces.

There is a secure compound at the Bishop Otter and Bognor Regis campuses. Staff or students can access these facilities free of charge using their campus card.

Travelling by Car

Demand for car park spaces exceeds the spaces available, which is particularly acute during term time.

Therefore, parking controls and restrictions are implemented to ensure the efficient and effective operation of the University, equity of access and fairness.

Parking

Bona fide students who are registered on one of the University's courses and living outside the exclusion zone (1.5 miles radius from their main campus) will be eligible to park on campus.

Application method and details of the charges can be found in the Car Parking Regulations above.

The aim of the University鈥檚 new Sustainable Travel Plan is to promote and support staff and students to use sustainable forms of transport when travelling to and from the University.

The University is committed to using the income generated from car parking charges to support the initiatives detailed in the Sustainable Travel Plan.

Recently, car park income has contributed towards the cost of upgrading existing cycle stores and building new cycle stores on both campuses which are fully enclosed, lit, and secure.

The panel will meet once a month if there are appeals and consider all the appeals聽they feel meet the criteria. Other appeals may be considered if the Panel deem that there are exceptional circumstances. All applications should be directed to the following email address:聽travelplan@chi.ac.uk
