Mobility at BUT: What we do

BUT experts participate in the South Moravian Region Climate Council, contributing to mobility-related measures. The Faculty of Architecture is involved in the Brno Living Lab platform, connecting research and the city in developing new approaches to public space.

Long-term cooperation with Brněnské komunikace is also supported through the Transport Engineering Days — a professional seminar with a tradition dating back to 1987.

We participate in campaigns promoting active mobility. CEITEC and the Faculty of Chemistry take part in the nationwide Bike to Work initiative, while the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering runs its own challenge Commute by Your Own Power. In 2025, the BUT Rectorate joined the 10,000 Steps Challenge for the first time.

We also systematically map the accessibility of buildings — recognizing that not everyone moves in the same way. The results are available in a map application at gis.vut.cz (login required). The Faculty of Business was processed as a pilot project, followed by the Faculty of Architecture in 2026 and gradually other BUT units.

Shared mobility in Brno

In Brno, shared bike systems operate (Nextbike, Rekola) — from March 2026 offering two free rides per day (up to 30 minutes). A team from FSI BUT also collaborates with Nextbike on optimizing shared bike servicing using AI.

For occasional car use, carsharing services are available (Autonapůl, Autosarka).
