What can you do to help? 

  • Use the electric pool car free of charge for business trips to locations that are difficult to reach by public transport.
  • Do you drive to work, and is your commute less than 15 kilometres? Then why not give an e-bike a go! You can try it out for free.
  • In the autumn, you can also take part in the Mobility Survey and tell us how you currently travel and how you would like to travel in the future. Once the survey has been launched online, we will provide a link on this page.
  • Park your car at a hub (train or bus station) and transfer to public transport. The Combi Reisplanner (combined travel planner) allows you to find a route that combines using your own car with public transport.

This is how students and employees travel to campus

Students

The vast majority of students travel by public transport, both in terms of journeys and kilometres travelled. As there are more students than staff, the number of student cars on campus (in absolute terms) is about the same as the number of staff cars.

Employees

Many employees already cycle to work. However, a small group (18%) who travel to campus by car account for the majority of kilometres travelled (54%).

What are we working on?

Our ambition is to create an accessible and liveable campus. To achieve this, we are using the STOMP principle to guide us. The STOMP principle (‘stappen, trappen, openbaar vervoer, mobiliteitdiensten, privé auto’. In English: walking, cycling, public transport, mobility services, private car) gives priority to more sustainable forms of mobility (walking, cycling, and public transport) and less priority to less sustainable forms of mobility (such as the car). 

Our objectives

  • The University can be easily reached using sustainable modes of transport.
  • The campus is safe and designed to be a pleasant, welcoming place to be.
  • The University encourages and facilitates sustainable mobility choices.
  • Logistics are clean and efficient.

Sustainable Development Goals

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are seventeen goals aimed at making the world a better place by 2030. They serve as a global compass for addressing challenges such as poverty, education and the climate crisis. 

Radboud University’s mobility plans are in line with the following SDGs:

  • 9: Industry, innovation and infrastructure
  • 11: Sustainable cities and communities
  • 17: Partnerships for the goals
