Transportation Plan Information
Process and Background
In early 2008, a Transportation Advisory Group was formed. Membership represented University of Idaho students and employees, and City of Moscow officials. Together with Parking and Transportation Services, the Group completed a comprehensive review of existing conditions of the campus transportation system.
The four primary modes of transportation evaluated were pedestrian, bicycle, vehicular and transit. These modes were analyzed with strong consideration of safety, and condition of amenities provided for each mode of travel.
Conflict areas for each mode were identified, areas for improvement were discussed, and Parking and Transportation Services began developing a draft Transportation Plan. Staff Affairs, Faculty Council and ASUI Senate, as well as the general campus community, were given an opportunity to provide input during the initial phases of creating the draft plan. Information was made available on the parking website and comments were encouraged.
In January 2009, the Transportation Advisory Group reconvened. Parking and Transportation Services staff began drafting sections of the plan for each mode type and presented these sections to the Group for review and feedback. The draft is expected to be completed and distributed on April 30. Work will continue over the summer on an implementation plan and further detail of mitigations and recommendations. A review period of the draft document is scheduled for early September, which will begin a comment period leading to a final document. The final campus Transportation Plan will include comments received and any necessary changes made to the draft. The final plan is anticipated to be completed by late November.
The campus Transportation Plan is intended to outline future development of the campus transportation system and will guide Parking and Transportation Services in providing a safe and effective transportation system. This Transportation Plan is intended to be a dynamic document, with review and revisions made annually.
Below is a list of potential transportation improvement projects that were identified by the Transportation Advisory Group and will be outlined in the draft Transportation Plan. Parking and Transportation Services will be taking a role with the funding responsibilities for these projects.
In addition to projects listed in the 2000 Long-Range Campus Development Plan, the following have been identified by the Transportation Advisory Group. Further inspection and detail is needed.
