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 a few of the factors leading institutions toward a new
vision based upon expanded transit access, better bicycle and
pedestrian facilities, and incentives that encourage less
driving.
"Transportation and Sustainable Campus Communities" presents a
comprehensive examination of techniques available to manage
transportation in campus communities. Authors Will Toor and Spenser
W. Havlick give 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. The case studies in
"Transportation and Sustainable Campus Communities" highlight what
works and what doesn't, as well as describing the programmatic and
financial aspects involved.
No other book has surveyed the topic and produced viable options
for reducing the parking, pollution, land use, and traffic problems
that are created by an over-reliance on automobiles by students,
faculty, and staff. "Transportation and Sustainable Campus
Communities" is a unique source of information and ideas for anyone
concerned with transportation planning and related issues.
