Do you commute daily to the Universitat Politčcnica de Valčncia? Discover all the transport options available to you
[ 29/07/2025 ]
Nearly 40,000 people travel to the campuses of the Universitat Politčcnica de Valčncia (UPV) every day to study or work.
To help reduce traffic congestion, emissions, and noise pollution, the UPV encourages its university community to opt for sustainable transport and is working to expand the available options.
New this academic year: new Metrobús routes now provide direct connections to the Vera campus from Llíria, L’Eliana, and Paterna.
UPV Strategy
The Universitat Politčcnica de Valčncia has approved a Sustainable Mobility Strategic Plan 2023?2027 to ensure efficient and participatory transport management.
A dedicated website with information on all public transport options is also available.
Electric chargers and parking facilities
Each day, around 14,000 people drive to the Universitat Politčcnica de Valčncia. The UPV encourages carpooling.
Twelve electric car charging stations — exclusively for the UPV community — have been installed across the three campuses.
At the Vera campus, the PoliBici service provides parking facilities with electric chargers for bikes and scooters.
