The unique situation of university campuses makes them excellent environments in which to examine the transportation-land use relationship: specifically, how to optimally occupy and manage space while maintaining maximum mobility and accessibility. The literature suggests that data and a thorough discussion of campus land use and transportation are lacking; moreover, as available land on campus disappears planners are urgently in need of effective approaches to managing transportation and land use. This report analyzes the results of a survey of 34 four-year residential and commuter universities with enrollments of more than 15,000 located in small cities of populations between 50,000 and 249,999. The report includes in-depth case studies of three of the campuses (the University of California-Santa Barbara, the University of Oklahoma-Norman, and Harvard University) in an effort to illustrate real-world situations encountered by campus transportation and land use planners, such as town-gown coordination, adherence to local zoning ordinances, and the implementation of effective alternative transportation programs. |
