Commitments
- Commit to conduct density studies to determine points of major congestion, with 25% of the campus being surveyed every semester beginning with 2018 and develop a proposal to promote and design bicycle pathways & corridors on campus; increasing roadway capacity and user mobility through proper separation of modes of travel.
- Develop initiatives that lead to the creation, design, approval, and installation of environmentally sustainable sheltered bike parking and storage adjacent to student housing within the next two years.
- Create a multi-modal plan/policy that sets standards and practices for vehicle, bicycle, and pedestrian use of campus streets, pathways, and connectors by 2020.
- Develop policy, use parameters, and identify site placement for Installation of four electric vehicle Type II charging stations on the main campus and two stations at the Gloucester Point VIMS campus by 2019.
- Develop a robust yet cost-effective paratransit system that connects the farthest points at W&M with the core of campus, and that is supportive of the university’s academic mission.
