Introducing our new official carpooling scheme

05 Feb 2026

Boost your active commute with our new carpooling scheme.

Whether it’s too far to actively travel each way, or you’re looking to buddy up, carpooling can help you travel light, share the load, and get home easily when distance, weather, tired legs, or heavy kit make a full active commute tricky. You could even choose to carpool part of the way and active travel the rest together.

Download the University's official travel app, CommuteUoM, to share your drive to campus or join someone already heading your way. Carpool with confidence alongside only verified users, with live journey tracking for added peace of mind. The app helps you travel smarter, save money, and make greener choices. You can access the full range of staff and student travel benefits, plan smart routes, join cycling, walking or wheeling groups, meet fellow active travellers, and even earn rewards or compete on leaderboards when you choose sustainable travel options.
