Mobility and transport

Anyone working at the University of Salzburg moves not only between lecture halls, offices and research facilities – but also consciously through a university that actively promotes sustainable mobility. The University itself sends a clear signal of environmental responsibility and supports its employees in travelling in an eco‑friendly way.

You might cycle to work, use Salzburg’s well‑developed bus and rail network or share an e‑car with colleagues. Distances in Salzburg are short, mobility options are diverse – and the guiding principle is clear: mobility should be not only practical but also responsible. The University of Salzburg lives sustainability – including in how we move. Discover how to get around Salzburg efficiently, comfortably and with climate awareness.
