Past Citizen Recommendations Highlights Community Integration Advisory Group Summary Report, January 2016 On-campus Demand Management Strategies Be an almost car-free campus, but plan for realistic parking needs Provide limited access for cars Design campus with a transit hub and features that encourage biking and walk Develop a compact design for the campus that leaves room for open space Provide bike storage areas / zip cars / parking garage Create shuttle service from remote parking; access on campus or electric shuttles on campus Provide car charging stations; have bikes available on campus to get around
University Best Practices
University Best Practices Providing Effective Transportation Demand Management (TDM) What is TDM? Strategies to reduce or redistribute motor vehicle travel demand Strategies to increase use &effectiveness of other (active) modes How will this help OSU? Creates a sustainable campus Minimizes impacts on the community Who are we managing? Students, employees, visitors, and vendors What is our goal? Efficient use of transportation resources
University Best Practices What TDM strategies can be implemented? Bicycle/Pedestrian Uniform design for on-campus infrastructure Ample bicycle parking and rider amenities Incentives for walking (skating) & biking Bike-share & Bike-buddy programs Transit & Shuttles Transit access with student/employee ID Transit routing & frequencies to support & encourage ridership Inter-campus connections between OSU & COCC Carshare / Rideshare / Carpool-Vanpool Zipcar, Car2Go, Lyft, Uber, etc. Emergency Ride Home Program For anyone that walks, bikes, shares/pools, or takes transit
University Best Practices The MAGNIFYING effect of Managing Parking Active parking management increases TDM effectiveness TDM TDM Active Parking Management
University Best Practices What parking strategies can be used? Right-sizing parking (think Goldilocks & the Three Bears) Controlled parking access (permits & gates) Time-limited parking access (short-stay, high turnover) Performance-based parking (parking pricing) Incentives for car/vanpool (favored locations & permit discounts) Off-peak parking permit rates Shuttle parking systems Education & Enforcement Counter/sensor systems to track
University Best Practices How may these strategies be implemented? TPAC (Transportation and Parking Advisory Committee) Staffing, budget, and revenue plans Policy elements Setting goals for how users access campus (mode split goals) Policies for students living on campus Policies for student & employee conduct
