Carnegie Mellon University
OP-T2-28: Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan

Carnegie Mellon University is served by regional connections and local arterials, a dense network of public and institutional transit, a walkable campus and an emerging network of bicycle lanes and trails. To build upon these systems, to improve pedestrian safety and to better use existing parking resources, the university, with its partner the Oakland Transportation Management Association (OTMA), utlized a PennDOT Pennsylvania Communities Transportation Initiative (PCTI) grant to analyze and assess the campus transportation system for the IMP’s Transportation Management Plan. The 2012 Master Plan includes Transportation Mangement Plan, Section 3.7 Page #44.

The Carnegie Mellon University campus is primarily a walking campus, however we worked with Bike Pittsburgh to be designated as a Bike Friendly Employer and received a Bike Friendly University,(honorary mention), by the League of American Bicyclists. Promotional activities include holding an annual Bike to Work Breakfast and Bike Commuting 101 course on campus. We have Bike Pittsburgh's Bicycle Road Map & Bike Commuting 101 handouts available in our University Center. A Google map is available with all locations of the campus bike racks. A Bicycle/Wheeled Transportation Policy is available at http://www.cmu.edu/student-affairs/theword//comm_standards/bicycle.html The CMU Cycling Club manages a bike repair shop on campus.
