Transportation and Sustainable Campus Communities: Issues, Examples, Solutions

Colleges and universities across North America are facing difficult questions about automobile use and transportation. Lack of land for new parking lots and the desire to preserve air quality are but some of the factors leading institutions toward a new vision based on expanded transit access, better bicycle and pedestrian facilities, and incentives that encourage less driving. This book provides case studies from several U.S. colleges and universities to show how transportation demand management programs have worked in a variety of campus settings, ranging from small towns to large cities. The case studies highlight what does and what does not work, and describe the programmatic and financial aspects involved.
