Improving mobility on university campuses and minimizing on-campus parking is crucial for enhancing campus beauty, better connecting campus neighborhoods, and even achieving the global goal of carbon neutrality by 2050. Here are a few ways to increase mobility on university campuses.

Strategies for Increasing Mobility in Campuses

• New Drop-Off and Pickup Locations for Ride-Hail

Creating dedicated pickup and drop-off can help increase the safety of students who utilize university ride-hail services. The chosen locations must be well-lit, secure areas that can easily be monitored by university patrols and cameras.

 The locations must be marked using clear signage, as well as labeled on the mobile apps for the ride-hailing services employed by the university.

Universities can make adaptations or add new locations as per need.

• Mobility Rides

Mobility rides like electric golf carts can be provided to staff or faculty with accessibility or medical needs.

Universities can initiate a pre-approval process, and the people who get themselves registered shall be eligible for these mobility rides.

• Improved Bike and Scooter Parking

Campuses can improve the parking areas for scooters and bikes. The parking areas can include a few extra locations along with clear signage.

These enhancements can improve the visibility of bicycle parking areas in high-demand locations. This, in turn, will help keep building entrances and campus walkways clear of bikes and make them more accessible for everyone.

Wrapping Up

To sum up, enhancing campus mobility can help make intra-campus transportation safer for students and staff, address campus parking issues, and even offer real-time data for campus transits. The pointers covered in this blog are just a few ways to try and optimize mobility on university campuses.
