The University's commitment to low-impact urban mobility
In order to reduce atmospheric emissions, the University of Bologna promotes the use of public transport, cycle paths and other forms of low-impact mobility, both when travelling on business and when commuting between home and place of work/study.
Through an annual web-based questionnaire for all staff and students, since 2006 the University has analysed the needs and solutions adopted for travel between home and the University as a place of work/study when travelling between home and their place of work/study. This analysis underpins the strategies defined in the annual PSCLS – Plan for Travel between Home/Work/Study, which is in co-ordination with the municipal administration.
Our commitment to mobility is to:
