Cycling Friendly Campus

CF campus header

Help your students to stay active, support their mental health and save on transport costs. 

Our Cycling Friendly Campus programme supports colleges and universities to promote cycling as a healthy and sustainable travel option for staff and students through a development fund, an award accreditation and an internship programme. 

With funding from Transport Scotland, we place Campus Cycling Officers in colleges and universities to get more students and staff cycling. Their work complements the award and fund and supports campuses in becoming more cycling friendly.

Deadline for applications: 19th May 2023

Find out more about the programme in our Internship programme guidance notes.

What? Funding of up to £25,000 can be used for facility improvements, bikes and bike equipment that will make it easier for students and staff to cycle. 

Why? By improving facilities, more students and staff will be able to stay healthy, support their wellbeing and save on transport costs.

Who? Colleges and universities looking to promote cycling as a sustainable travel choice can apply to the fund.

 

The award recognises colleges and universities that are improving their campuses and making it easier and more accessible to cycle. They're are supported through each step of the process towards becoming Cycling Friendly, from the initial registration to assessment.
