In order to achieve the objectives set out in EPFL’s Climate and Sustainability Strategy, the School is progressively reducing the amount of space dedicated to traffic and car parking. It aims to improve universal mobility on its campuses, notably by collaborating with public transport operators and by developing adapted pedestrian and cycling infrastructures.
Accessibility
Getting to the EPFL campuses
A variety of itineraries by foot, bicycle, public transport, reduced mobility and individual motorised transport are indicated to access our campuses.
Pedestrians and reduced mobility
EPFL aims to create an accessible and inclusive campus for both pedestrians and people with reduced mobility.
Active Mobility
Point Vélo
The Point Vélo is the heart of the cycling movement at EPFL, selling new and second-hand bikes and cycling equipment, discounted repairs and free mechanics courses.
Bike-sharing
To promote and enhance the use of bicycles for commuting, EPFL provides a number of bike-sharing facilities on its campuses.
Events and other cycling services
Other cycling services support and encourage the growth of cycling on campus, such as the organisation of festive events and the deployment of secure infrastructure.
