University of Sunderland Travel Plan Update The University has also developed a leaflet ‘Travelling Matters’ which outlines how staff can travel to and from the University. This is a particularly useful eful resource for staff currently based at the Ashburne Campus who will be transferring to the City / St Peter’s Campus Campuses when Ashburne closes in 2011. In addition to the travel leaflet, the University will also use public transport, cycling and walking information and promotional material available from Sunderland City Council, Nexus and public transport operators to promote alternative modes of transport to both staff and students. Some information is already available on the University website, but staff and students must know how and where to find the information and the information needs to be updated on a regular basis. Moving forward, the Travel ravel Plan Coordinator will launch the updated Travel Plan in early to mid 2010. This could potentially tie in with the launch of the new Sunderland Shuttle and/or the piloting of a scheme where the University owns low carbon vehicles for r business / inter campus travel.
