CERN Hitchhiking Initiative

SCE department has launched a hitchhiking pilot initiative at CERN in 2025. This initiative encourages voluntary shared transport between the Meyrin and Prévessin sites, aiming to reduce single-occupancy vehicle use and enhance inter-site connections.

Three hitchhiking stations have been installed:

• Meyrin
  • Road Fermi (near Bldgs. 376–377–378)
  • Road Pauli (near Entrance B and Road Einstein)
• Prévessin
  • Road Adams (near the site entrance)

Both CERN and private vehicles can participate. However, CERN vehicles may only pick up passengers within the fenced area, and all riders must carry a valid CERN access badge. Drivers using the inter-site tunnel should confirm their passengers have the required permit.

To refine and potentially expand the programme, users are invited to provide feedback via QR-code surveys available at each station.
