De Montfort University is committed to the principles of sustainable development and protecting the environment, above and beyond our legal obligations. In order to accomplish this, we need to manage our transport needs to minimise harmful emissions.  
The University will therefore: 

• Act to avoid unnecessary journeys, encouraging the use wherever practical of teleconferencing; 

• Where journeys are necessary, promote the use of the most sustainable form of transport practical, supporting walking, cycling and the use of public transport and shuttle buses (where available) for transport between sites; 

• Where cars are the most practical form of transport available for a particular journey, seek to use them as efficiently as possible, by encouraging multiple occupancy of vehicles and avoiding duplication of journeys; 

• Where vehicles are hired, leased or purchased by the University, favour the use of small, efficient, low-emission engines, including where possible electric vehicles.
