Students who leave their cars at home could be offered free bus passes as a reward.
In an effort to relieve congested Swansea streets popular with university students, Labour council candidates have promised free bus travel to car-free student houses in the city.
However, if any parking permits are issued to students in a particular house they will all lose out on the free passes.
Uplands candidate Sybil Crouch said there needed to be a mix of carrot and stick to change the way people use their cars.
"During university term time, street parking becomes chronic, with some student properties accounting for up to six cars," she said.
