abstract="This paper outlines the impacts of transport on the environment and stresses how, for higher education institutions (referred to as 'universities' here), these are dominated by commuting by private car. Car commuting needs to be drastically reduced, yet universities effectively subsidize continued car usage through free- or below-cost car park provision. Strategies for reducing environmental damage caused by commuting are outlined and the development of bicycle-friendly policies is used as a case study. The importance of simultaneous promotion of 'green' modes and the restraint of 'red' modes is emphasized, as is the growing political acceptability of such approaches. The arguments are relevant to other campus environments such as hospitals, science parks and, in a non-spatial sense, to companies and institutions in general.<p />",
