Transportation Planning

The Office of Campus Planning is responsible for the comprehensive planning for and stewardship of the University transportation network and associated infrastructure, to ensure that the built environment fosters more sustainable transportation choices for the campus community.

Transportation Planning works in close partnership with colleagues within CPES (particularly Campus Planners, Landscape Architects, and Transportation Services), other units across campus, and the greater community to advance sustainable and equitable mobility systems, as we make the physical and cultural investments in sustainable mobility as outlined in the 2018 Long Range Development Plan (LRDP).

Central to this work is the realization of Transportation Tomorrow, the forward-looking Transportation Demand Management (TDM) plan that doubles down on our legacy of sustainable transportation to move toward an even more sustainable future. The campus of tomorrow invests further in infrastructure for pedestrians and cyclists, and anticipates the role changing mobility technology is having on how we use and move through our campus public realm.
