Initiative
Shift to sustainable mobility patterns that support emissions reduction goals
LEAD: Parking & Transportation Services
with support from the Office of Sustainability
Definition
Promoting safe, shaded, and accessible mobility infrastructure options like walking, cycling, public transit, and electric shuttles across the campus will reduce emissions while improving campus health and happiness. This section identifies how efficient land use, shading, and access to sustainable mobility options will support the University’s commitment to reducing its environmental impact.
Strategies
- As MavMover buses need to be replaced, consider purchasing electric shuttle buses for campus transportation
- Seek funding through federally available grants to upgrade to an electric fleet
- Continue to pedestrianize major interior arteries of campus
- Monitor for City of Arlington major roadway improvements; advocate for the installation of protected bike lanes on major campus commuting routes when timing is appropriate
- Seek guidance from Vision Zero traffic safety guidelines with major transportation projects to protect pedestrian safety
- Decrease reliance on singleoccupant car transportation options and on-demand travel in favor of expanding on-campus transportation network
