UG buildings are easy to reach by bicycle or public transport. In order to keep the city of Groningen and the University accessible now and in the future and to reduce CO2 emissions from commuting we encourage you to come to work by bicycle if possible. If you have an employment contract for at least 0.3 FTE, and more than 11 months, you can make use of the bicycle scheme.

If you live more than 15 km from your work location, you may use the UG’s parking facilities. However, bear in mind that parking is not always available. For example, there is a waiting list to qualify for parking space at  work locations in the city centre. If you live less than 15 km from your work location, you cannot make use of this facility. You can, however, use the P+R locations around Groningen and travel on from there by bicycle, e-bike, or public transport.
