4. 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]

5. Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP) Created by the EEU
SUMPs 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.

6. SUMPS Use A participatory approach; A clear vision;
Measurable objectives; and
Targets including benefits/costs.

7. Recommending Three Steps
Each Step is broken down by:
Near-Term and Long-Term Work Needs/Priorities
Sustainability, Safety and Transportation, Campus Traffic Management, Central Receiving and Distribution, Incentives, Health, etc.

8. Step 1: Safety and Enhancement of MSU’s Campus Environment
Near-Term Recommendations:
Safety and Transportation
Plan 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.

9. Step 2: Behavior Modification
Near-Term Recommendations:
Incentives
Conduct 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.

10. Step: 3 Technology and Modeling Changes
Near-Term Recommendations:
Safety and Traffic
Create 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.
Central Receiving and Distribution
Delivery Route Planning and Optimization – A GIS-based routing;
Service Area Planning and Optimization – GIS-based to optimize service areas.
