Sustainable commute and travel | Gdańsk University of Technology

Several thousand employees and students travel to Gdańsk Tech campus every day. Transport accounts for a large proportion of carbon dioxide emissions, which is why we want to improve the comfort of the entire academic community during daily commute and travel to classes. We want to use sustainable transport solutions on a daily basis.

Gdansk University of Technology is a great place to use a bike or scooter as a means of transport, as there are numerous cycle paths. There are cycle parking facilities on campus, some of which were created as part of the civic budget. In case of minor faults, there are public bike repair stations located on campus. In addition, you can take advantage of a free bike service in the spring. Cycling on campus is safe thanks to well-lit routes, lowered kerbs and a 30 km/h speed limit for vehicles. You will enter the campus unhindered as the barriers at the entrance gates have been shortened.

In order to promote bicycles and scooters as a means of transport for daily commuting to the campus, ‘By bike to the University’ competition programme has been created in 2022. This initiative takes place in cooperation with University of Gdańsk – a research university which is a member of Fahrenheit Universities. 

Public transport

Gdańsk University of Technology campus is located in the centre of Wrzeszcz in Gdansk, a district that is very well connected to other parts of the Tricity. The shortest route separates the PG Main Building from the tram stop called Politechnika. There is also a bus stop nearby and a Rapid Urban Rail station, also called Politechnika. Well-organised public transport means that many employees and students choose to commute by public transport and thus consciously contribute to less air pollution. The Large Gdansk Family Card entitles you to free travel on trams and buses, which is not insignificant for Gdansk students from families with many children.

In the promotional campaigns, we will appreciate anyone who chooses an environmentally friendly option of travelling to Gdańsk Tech.
