5 Strategies for Increasing Mobility on University Campuses
1Smart strategies. Electric vehicles and charging stations are coming. Fleets are being upgraded to electric, and alternate transportation forms such as electric scooters are already making an impact on campuses.
2Pedestrian mobility. Campuses are rethinking the design of pedestrian paths and the networks connecting buildings and other facilities. Roads are being reconfigured to leave more walkable areas and keep vehicles to the outsides of campuses.
3Cycling mobility. Cycling lanes, bike racks, bike sharing programs, and incentives for biking are all designed to increase cycling mobility and decrease traditional car usage on campus.
4Public transportation. Re-design and/or relocation of bus stops is occurring to make bus transport more appealing on campuses. Better communication of stops, routes, and schedules will help increase ridership.
5Private transport. Parking lots and garages will still be the main focal point of campus parking and mobility efforts. Implementation of new technology will make parking easier for both the commuter and the facility. Integration of the other four strategies into current parking inventory will be a key to future success.
