What would the plan do to discourage single occupant vehicle commuting to campus?
The campus worked in partnership with the community and the City of Berkeley to develop the Transportation Demand Management study, completed in March 2001. The final report presented a range of transportation-promoting measures that inform both campus transportation programs and our partnerships with the city. Recent initiatives include: a revitalized carpool program that grew by 120% in 2002-2003, from 220 people to 498 people (124 people turned in single user permits to participate in the carpool program); the AC Transit class pass for students; expanded subsidies and pretax purchase of transit tickets; City Car Share pods for use by faculty, staff and students; planned installation this year of secure bike-parking cages, and bike parking monitored by security cameras; and joint promotion of bus rapid transit along a major corridor serving the campus and environs.
