Communities of colleagues & neighbours

LET'S DEVELOP CARPOOLING & CO-CYCLING
VIA LOCAL COMMUNITIES OF COLLEAGUES AND NEIGHBOURS   

Launched in September 2023, the "colleagues & neighbours" pilot project aims to create communities of colleagues living within 25-kilometer from Louvain-la-Neuve to encourage co-cycling and carpooling. Twelve local community groups have been set up and are animated on WhatsApp. Each of these groups brings together colleagues living within a radius of about 3 kms.   

► Project objectives ? 
Participate in the collective effort to reduce CO₂ emissions in a flexible way.    

► Why get involved ? 

1. Request or offer a lift to work when your vehicle (car, motorcycle or bike) is unusable (breakdown, garage maintenance, torrential rain, snow, etc.). 

2. Organize systematic carpooling, one or more days a week.    

3. Be accompanied to work by bike, the first time, from time to time when the weather is fine, or more regularly.    

4. Organize a one-car trip to the nearest station and take the train or bus.   

5. Ask for help to drop (and pick up) children at school in Louvain-la-Neuve in case of illness, holyday or teleworking.   

6. Go out together to an evening activity organized by UCLouvain in Louvain-la-Neuve.   

7. Develop any mutual aid that will help reduce CO₂ emissions when getting to work.
