The University of Arizona

 

Campus Invited to Share Traffic, Parking Concerns at Open House


PTS

The event will include displays of information being collected as part of a UA traffic study.


Tired of being stuck in University of Arizona traffic? Interested in an alternative to paying for parking?If you answered yes to either of these questions, Parking and Transportation Services wants your input.

The University community is invited to attend the UA Travel Demand Management Open House on Feb. 6 between noon and 4 p.m. in the Sabino Room of the Student Union Memorial Center. A formal presentation will take place several times during the open house, and visitors can read informational displays and leave their feedback on comment forms.

Parking and Transportation Services, with a grant from the Pima Association of Governments, is studying ways to manage travel demand as part of the UA Transportation Needs Assessment Study. Information and displays from the study will be available at the open house and will explain possibilities for reducing traffic congestion at the UA. The study, which is under way now, will be wrapped up soon and will use the feedback from the open house to evaluate ways to reduce roadway congestion on and around campus.

Along with state, county and city officials, the UA has compiled a list of traffic management measures that may help alleviate congestion on campus, including increasing alternative transportation options, allowing more employees to telecommute or allowing more employees to adopt "compressed" work weeks, where the same number of hours are worked over fewer days. A complete list of these possible measures will be available at the open house.
