A brief description of other programs or initiatives to encourage more sustainable modes of transportation and/or reduce the impact of student and employee commuting:
California State University, Chico (CSU, Chico), under the
direction of the Department of Facilities Planning in the
Business & Finance Division, conducted a planning effort to
explore the applicability and possible implementation of
transportation demand management (TDM) strategies for the
campus. TDM deals directly with the basic demand for travel by
affecting mode, time of day, frequency, and path of travel. TDM
includes a broad range of synergistic actions to reduce
vehicular travel. These strategies are intended to improve the
efficiency of the existing transportation system by encouraging
use of alternate travel modes to the single-occupancy vehicle
(SOV).
