Car sharing

Students can book a priority car park space if they car share with another student to the Mansfield Campus.

Car sharing with fellow students is a cost-effective way to share fuel costs or save on paying public transport fares. It also results in fewer single-occupancy cars on the road and less congestion in the car park.

You can find people to car share with by posting on the NTU Student Car Share Viva Engage Community.
