Central Concept
“If you plan cities [campuses] for cars and traffic, you get cars and traffic. If you plan for people and places, you get people and places!” [Fred Kent]4Slide5
Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP)
Created by the EEUSUMPs seek to:
Ensure the accessibility to jobs and services for all;
2) Improve safety and security;
3) Reduce pollution, greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption;
4) Increase the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of the transportation of persons and goods; and
5) Enhance the attractiveness and quality of the urban environment
.
5Slide6
SUMPS Use
A participatory approach;
A clear vision;
Measurable objectives; and
Targets including benefits/costs.

Recommending Three Steps
Each Step is broken down by:Near-Term and Long-Term Work Needs/PrioritiesSustainability, Safety and Transportation, Campus Traffic Management, Central Receiving and Distribution, Incentives, Health, etc.
7Slide8
Step 1: Safety and Enhancement of MSU’s Campus Environment
Near-Term Recommendations:Safety and TransportationPlan to move away from surface parking to ramp parking on the outer boundaries of campus;Modernize
traffic signal
equipment to allow for better control of campus traffic;
Continue to improve bicycle and pedestrian mobility
on
campus.
Central Receiving and Distribution
Continue
efforts
to expand the one-stop external deliveries initiative; Research and deploy GPS fleet management system for institutional fleet. 8Slide9
Step 2: Behavior Modification
Near-Term Recommendations:IncentivesConduct at least two employee surveys & multiple focus group interviews to determine core Infrastructure
behavioral incentives;
Define
what incentives are statistically most significant for students (freshmen, sophomores, juniors, seniors, graduate students, on campus and off, etc.) behavioral change;
Define
what incentives are statistically most relevant to sustainability planning
goals.
9Slide10
Step: 3 Technology and Modeling Changes
Near-Term Recommendations:Safety and TrafficCreate a differential parking price scheme for limiting parking in high density student zones;
Assigning
parking lots or space sites for all employees within 10 minutes of their primary work location limiting traffic and search time;
Create
college teaching neighborhoods were students can take multiple classes without having to move from building to
building.
