Commuting
Biking on the campus © Niels Ackermann, Lundi13
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.
Sustainable transportation
Point Vélo
Our bike center is spearheading the cycling movement at EPFL. There you’ll find new and used bikes at reduced prices, at-cost repairs and free bike mechanics classes.
Other cycling services
A number of other cycling initiatives, services and events have been rolled out for the EPFL community in order to support soft mobility and biking.
“Campus Pieton” Project
As part of our drive to create more accessible, inclusive campuses, we have introduced the Campus Piéton project to give pedestrians and cyclists priority in our public spaces.

Vehicles and parkings
Carpooling and Car-sharing
In order to promote carpooling, the EPFL Sustainability Unit has set up a website called Fairpark to connect car drivers with one another.
Parkings and charging stations
EPFL employees can use reserved parking places (in yellow) or shared places (in green). White parking places are for visitors and require a ticket.
