Public transport
The public transportation network in the Stuttgart area is operated by the Verkehrsverbund Stuttgart (VVS), die Stuttgarter Straßenbahnen AG (SSB) und die Deutsche Bahn (DB). The public transportation system is very well developed, so you won’t need a car. It's better to use the buses and trains.
You can find information about timetables and tickets on the websites of the providers listed. The University of Stuttgart campus map helps you locate destinations on both the Vaihingen and City Center campuses.

Cycling
- Charging points
-
On Campus Vaihingen, in front of Pfaffenwaldring 10, there is a solar-powered charging station for e-bikes that can accommodate up to four bikes. Their owners can park them, lock them, and charge them using their own power adapter plugged into an outlet.
- Repairs
-
There are three bike repair stations on the Vaihingen campus. At these locations, students and university staff can repair and maintain their bicycles around the clock. All locations are listed on UniMap.
-
In addition, there are bicycle repair workshops on both Campus City Center Campus and Campus Vaihingen.
- Cargo bikes
-
A group of students has made the campus more sustainable by making their homemade cargo bike trailer available through Lastenrad Stuttgart e.V.
Parking
Parking on the University of Stuttgart campus is managed by the Baden-Württemberg Parking Authority (PBW) and is subject to a fee. Students at the University of Stuttgart can take advantage of discounted rates. On the Vaihingen campus, this requires registration on the PBW customer portal using your student email address. The parking lots at Campus Stadtmitte are also managed by PBW; parking fees vary depending on the parking space. You can find the latest information on parking spaces, rates, and frequently asked questions on the PBW website.
Carpooling
The “Stuttgart fährt mit” app makes it easy and flexible to form carpool groups. It is a cross-organizational carpooling platform provided by the University of Stuttgart for its employees and students. Another benefit: Carpoolers organized through the platform can park for free at Campus Vaihingen and at the Stadtmitte parking lots.
