Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
The Campus Transportation Survey can be found on pages 152-154 of the May 2018 IUPUI Transportation & Parking Plan completed by Nelson Nygaard Consulting Associates, Inc.
The survey results reveal the dominance of driving, both to campus and within campus during the day. Nearly 90% of respondents drive alone to campus each day, including 87% of off-campus students, 63% of on-campus students, and 93% of employees. Based on survey responses and feedback provided during stakeholder meetings, this pattern is attributable, in part, to poor pedestrian connections surrounding and within the campus. This is consistent with the findings of the 2012 Campus Master Plan, which highlighted a series of barriers to walkability throughout the campus area.
