CAMPUS TRAFFIC AND PARKING PROBLEMS AND SOME SOLUTIONS

Traffic congestion and parking needs continue to present pressing problems for many college and university campuses in the United States. Questions must often be resolved in a traffic and parking analysis even though the solutions studied involve issues embodied in an overall master plan, which may be out of date. There are also concerns about the changing role of higher education and the possible demise of some institutions over the next several years. Each campus has its unique policies, problems, and planning parameters. In the analysis of traffic and parking questions, attention must often be given to such matters as financing limitations, planning the campus as part of the larger community, recognizing that campus travel demand is different from that of other areas, and protecting the campus core from vehicle-pedestrian conflicts. Procedures for setting overall parking demand should respond to the needs of the different population categories (faculty and staff, commuters, resident students, and visitors) as well as policies on how to meet transportation service demand.
