Sustainable Transport
We encourage everyone to travel in a sustainable manner where possible. This could be travelling by bus or cycling opposed to driving in to college.

Nottingham College's approach for sustainable travel
There can be large amounts of travelling required for training between our different sites. we encourage sustainable travel wherever this is possible. While this environmental impact is difficult to quantify, and therefore manage and influence in a measurable way, it is recognised that motorised travel has an environmental impact and the College will:
- Promote the cycle to work and Student Bike scheme and advertise local cycle routes around the Nottinghamshire area.
- Hold virtual meetings wherever possible.
- Exceptionally, where virtual meetings are not possible, set meetings at sites which have the most number of attendees to reduce the overall travel.
- Where practically possible, limit the amount of inter-site travel by combining departments and curriculum delivery onto a single campus.
