TRANSPORTATION AND SUSTAINABLE CAMPUS COMMUNITIES - Issues, Examples, Solutions
by Will Toor, Spenser W Havlick
Presents a comprehensive examination of techniques available to manage transportation in campus communities. Gives readers the understanding they need to develop alternatives to single-occupancy vehicles, and sets forth a series of case studies that show how transportation demand management programs have worked in a variety of campus communities, ranging from small towns to large cities.
Lack of land for new parking lots and the desire to preserve air quality are only two of the many factors leading institutions to seek a new plan based upon expanded transit access, better bicycle and pedestriuan facilities, and incentives that encourage less driving.
The case studies highlight what works and what does not, as well as the programmatic and financial aspects involved.
TRANSPORTATION AND SUSTAINABLE CAMPUS COMMUNITIES is a unique source of information and ideas for anyone concerned with transportation planning and related issues.
