Sustainable means of transport (green travel) is defined as the travel that uses low-emissions means of transport for the main part of the travel, such as bus, train or car-pooling. 

Environmentally sustainable and responsible practices

In line with the Erasmus quality standards, organisations that receive support from the Programme must promote environmentally sustainable and responsible behaviour among their participants, raising the awareness about the importance of acting to reduce or compensate for the environmental footprint of mobility activities. These principles should be reflected in the preparation and implementation of all Programme activities, especially by using specific funding support provided by the Programme to promote sustainable means of travel. Organisations providing education and training should integrate these principles in their everyday work, and should actively promote a change of mind-set and behaviour among their learners and staff

Students and recent graduates not receiving travel support - top-up amount to individual support for green travel

Students and recent graduates who do not receive travel support can opt for green travel. In this case, they will receive a single contribution of 50 EUR per day as a top-up amount to the individual support and up to 4 days of additional individual support to cover travel days for a return trip, if relevant.
