Mobility on campus
The TU/e campus is a green and sustainable campus of national importance with an international appeal. Thanks to the Groene Loper (a green pedestrian and relaxation zone between the university buildings) the campus has the prestige of an urban park. Pedestrians and non-motorized traffic have right of way here. Thanks to the compact layout of the campus the various buildings can be reached easily on foot. Moreover, most TU/e buildings are interconnected by means of walkways.
To stimulate bicycle use when travelling to and from the TU/e Campus, facilities were expanded in 2022/23. Bicycle parking spaces have gradually increased over the years, leading to a maximum of 8.778 parking spots in 2023.
Commuter traffic
By far most of our staff members and students use sustainable means of transport such as public transport or bicycles to come to the campus. TU/e stimulates staff members who now still come by car to decide more often on more sustainable ways, among other things by making it possible for them to purchase a bike or an e-bike at favorable conditions.
To accommodate the rising use of electric vehicles, an additional transformer station had to be established beforehand. In 2023, an additional 24 charging points (to the existing 14 EV charging points) were installed near the Auditorium Building at the main Entrance of the Campus, resulting in a total of EV charging points amounting 2% of the overall parking spaces (excluding spaces designated for third parties).
