A barrier system is in operation at all times to other parking at Headingley Campus, which is allocated to Permit holders and booked-in visitors and contractors.

Car-sharing is when two or more people share a car and travel together.

It allows individuals to benefit from the convenience of the car, whilst reducing travel costs, congestion and pollution.

We will soon be introducing a car share app called Faxi. This app will help you find fellow students who want to car share.

You’ll be able to use this to set up regular travel or travel occasionally.
