CBC Transport Strategy launched

The Cambridge Biomedical Campus (CBC) combines world-class biomedical research, patient care and education on a single site. It is one of the fastest growing business locations in Greater Cambridge. In 2016 over 26,000 people visited the Campus each day and this will increase with the current and further planned expansion.

Ensuring staff, patients, business representatives (authorised personnel, contractors etc.) and visitors can travel sustainably to and from the site is an essential part of reducing congestion on Campus, in Cambridge and in the surrounding area.

The realities of transitioning the Campus Travel Plan from one that was predominantly focused on the access issues of a highly respected acute teaching hospital, and embedded long-term partners, to a Transport Strategy and Implementation Plan now framed in the context of an internationally renowned and expanding Campus is a challenging one. It requires all partners to take active, shared and collaborative responsibility to develop more sustainable travel options for the wider CBC as a whole.

This will ensure that the growing Campus can continue to thrive in a manner that brings credit and prosperity to all its partners and Greater Cambridge as a whole.

The current major phase in the development and expansion of the CBC puts it at a very important juncture in terms of managing its strategic transport arrangements. This document therefore encompasses more than the conventional aspects of advancing a more sustainable modal split for those accessing the site. It also includes the physical infrastructural aspects of a Transport Strategy.
