Transport and travel

The University Travel Plan aims to reduce the number of single occupied car journeys to campus and increase the use of sustainable travel.

Cycling

Many staff and students cycle from home to Keele University campus. The campus has plenty of cycle racks, and there is plenty of help and support on campus- we even have a free puncture repair kit than you can use! More information on cycling here.

Staff can take advantage of the Cycle2work scheme to hire a bicycle on a long term basis through contributions made directly from their salary. More information about the Cycle2work scheme here.

Car sharing

Car Sharing is a simple, cost effective and an environmentally friendly way to travel to and from work. It can suit both regular and occasional car sharers and there is a simple and secure way to find people living in your area. Find potential staff car sharers here.

Public transport
