Cars

1. In Sheffield most students do not own or run a car, but live within a twenty-minute walk of the campus or use the very frequent and reliable bus and tram services.

2. The University operates a `green´ transport policy which aims to promote use of public transport and healthy options such as cycling and walking and to discourage avoidable car use, especially for commuting.

3. Car parking on the central campus is by permit only; availability is severely limited. Permits are issued on the basis of a needs-based criteria assessment.

4. Limited parking may be available at some residences  but is usually street only for houses.

5. There are residents´ parking schemes in a number of local residential districts. Permits are very restricted.
