Newcastle University are asking all journeys to and from the University to be made sustainably.
There are many ways to commute to our campus and we want to support you in making the best choice for your circumstances. We support our colleagues and students to make sustainable travel choices by providing active travel facilities such as Dr Bike sessions and bicycle repair stands, we also offer travel schemes for public transport providers such as Nexus and Arriva.
Newcastle City Council is driven to creating a fairer greener and cleaner city, and are excited to support this initiative. They aim to support their residents in travelling actively and choosing healthier commuting.
This is a key aim for the council and their sustainability goals as they look to create a transport network that is efficient, safe, accessible and inclusive.Â
At Newcastle Hospitals we are working towards making travel to our sites more sustainable, improving air quality, and reducing vehicular traffic.

Nexus will continue to support World Car Free Day. This is an opportunity for people to experience sustainable forms of transport, which the Metro plays a big part in.Â
