Sustainable transport for a large business: the case of Leeds
Metropolitan University

There were 2,287,540 students in UK higher education in


2004/2005. A high percentage live away from home, or come
from abroad (some 318,395) and they are heavy consumers of
transport. There were 109,625 full-time academic staff, and
51,030 part-time staff, plus many administrative and support
staff. Higher education is a large foreign currency earner. It is big
business. But some universities are massive, and equate with
very large corporations both in their financial turnover, and in
the environmental footprint generated by their transport
activities.
Leeds Metropolitan University is a good example. It is one of
the largest universities in the UK, with 52,000 students and 3,500
staff. Its turnover is about £135 million per annum. Of course, its
economic impact is far larger than this, as the student body is not
an insignificant proportion of the total population of the city, and
they are all consumers and spenders. The university has three
major campuses. One of the campuses is on the edge of the city,
on a restricted site. A second campus is five miles north from the
city centre, on an outstanding but inaccessible parkland site, while
a third campus is fifteen miles away in Harrogate.
