Case Studies
Many organisations in Oxford are already working to encourage employees to use active travel, buses and trains for their commute. Read here about their efforts.
Oxford Brookes University
Oxford Brookes University has successfully reduced the number of staff car parking permits it issues by approximately 50% and has seen significant increases in those travelling to campus by sustainable modes of transport, resulting in a sizeable reduction in carbon from commuting.

Cheney School
Cheney School cut staff journey times by an hour a day by enabling them to try e-bikes. They found it was a no brainer from a retention perspective. Read about how they did it.
Christ Church School
Christ Church School reduced their staff parking spaces by 65% so they could use the space as a playground for their students. Here's how they got their staff on board.
Milton Park
Milton Park is a science, technology and innovation park located south of Oxford. It is home to over 250 companies, employing 9,000 people, and covering 300 acres. Around 75% of the workforce come in at least 3-4 days a week. They have made huge reductions in single-vehicle occupancy rates in the last 8 years. Here's how they did it.
Oxford University Hospitals
In April 2024, Oxford University Hospital Trust launched a new scheme to give their staff more choice about how to travel to their three Headington sites. The Travel and Transport Team created a scheme which makes it as easy as possible to use the Park & Rides. All employees can get on the buses for free by showing their Trust identity badges to the drivers. Staff that try giving up their parking permit also get free parking at the P&Rs. This scheme is operational on routes from the three P&Rs which serve the John Radcliffe, Churchill and the NOC directly. Read for more information and top tips from the OUH travel team.
