We want to make it easier for people to access our facilities by providing information about the different mobility options available. Everyone can choose the means of transport that best suits their needs, preferences and circumstances.

Whenever possible and appropriate for each individual, active mobility and public transport alternatives may be considered as options that help reduce the environmental impact of travel. However, accessibility and individual needs must always take priority.

Accessible mobility

Travelling to the University should be safe, independent and accessible, taking into account each person’s specific needs.

People with disabilities may require different mobility solutions. We therefore recommend planning your journey by considering aspects such as:

  • Accessibility of routes and pathways.
  • Distance between the transport stop and the building.
  • Presence of obstacles or uneven surfaces.
  • Need to use a wheelchair, assistive products or other technical aids.
  • Availability of accessible parking spaces.
  • Need to complete part of the journey using an adapted vehicle.
  • Weather conditions and characteristics of the route.

If you need assistance or specific information to plan your journey to the Tabarca Building, you can contact the Disability Support Unit.

Public transport

Public transport can be a sustainable option for reaching the Elche Campus.

Before travelling, we recommend checking the accessibility of the route and stops, as well as the conditions of the journey to the Tabarca Building.

Where necessary, it is advisable to plan the entire journey, rather than just the bus or train journey. An accessible route must also take into account access to the stop, the journey from the stop to the Campus and entry into the building.

Train

Train travel can be combined with other means of transport to reach the Elche Campus.

People who require specific accessibility arrangements can check the available information in advance regarding station accessibility, assistance services and travel conditions.

Bicycle and other personal mobility devices

Bicycles, scooters and other personal mobility devices may be suitable alternatives for some people.

Their use will depend on each user’s circumstances and needs, as well as the accessibility and safety of the route.

The Campus has designated parking areas for bicycles and scooters.

Private vehicle

A private vehicle may be a necessary option for some people, particularly when they have specific mobility needs or when other alternatives are not accessible.

In these cases, we recommend checking in advance the location of parking spaces reserved for people with reduced mobility and the conditions for accessing the Campus.

Using a private vehicle should not be considered a less valid option when it meets an individual’s accessibility or personal independence needs.

Electric vehicles

When travelling by private vehicle is necessary, using an electric vehicle can help reduce transport-related emissions.

The Campus has charging points for electric vehicles.

Car sharing

Sharing a vehicle can be an alternative way to reduce the number of journeys and their environmental impact.

In any case, this option should be considered in light of the accessibility, independence and comfort needs of the people making the journey.
