The following are\u00a0some of the TDM strategies that provide a means of\u00a0reducing car dependency and shifting the modal split.\u00a0These are either inherent in the Campus Master Plan\u00a0design, or they are additional strategies to support TDM,\u00a0and include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Creating a compact and pedestrian-oriented\u00a0development to increase walking and cycling.<\/li>\n<li>Creating an expanded and enhanced transit network.<\/li>\n<li>Providing community-oriented services and\u00a0amenities within a 5 to 10-minute walking radius.<\/li>\n<li>Providing bicycle parking and a diversity of\u00a0amenities.<\/li>\n<li>Providing transit shuttle services between campus\u00a0locations such as the BU Downtown Campus and the\u00a0Winnipeg Campus site, as well as other institutions.<\/li>\n<li>Collaborate with the City to enhance the City of\u00a0Brandon transit service to the campuses. Consider an\u00a0integrated same day service between the Winnipeg\u00a0and Brandon Main Campus.<\/li>\n<li>Providing incentives such as fee transit passes to\u00a0encourage transit ridership.<\/li>\n<li>Locating transit in the heart of the campus.<\/li>\n<li>Hiring or appointing a TDM Coordinator to assist\u00a0students with information on alternative travel\u00a0options.<\/li>\n<li>Continuing to institute the current carpooling strategy\u00a0for the Campus and encouraging carpooling through\u00a0the provision of preferential parking policies.<\/li>\n<li>Managing parking supply and pricing.<\/li>\n<li>Increasing and diversifying the housing stock on\u00a0the Campus to reduce the need for vehicular travel.\u00a0Locate housing in close proximity to the Campus,\u00a0including the surrounding neighbourhood and\u00a0downtown.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Transportation Demand Management\u00a0(TDM) Coordinators<\/h3>\n<p>The purpose of a TDM Coordinator for the campus would\u00a0be to help provide information to students on the travel\u00a0options and to assist them in finding other alternatives\u00a0to the car. Example duties of a TDM coordinator include\u00a0providing or coordinating a ride-matching service for\u00a0student carpooling; acting as a point person for student\u00a0transit passes; providing strategic input to University\u00a0management on ways to improve and support use of\u00a0non-auto modes; and coordinating awareness events for\u00a0students and staff.<\/p>\n<h3>Parking Supply and Pricing<\/h3>\n<p>An important way of managing transportation demand\u00a0will be through managing the cost of the parking at the\u00a0campus. There is typically a direct relationship between\u00a0parking charges and personal auto usage, such that a\u00a0rise in parking fees will typically result in a decrease\u00a0in parking demand and an increase in transit usage.\u00a0This approach works well if supported by alternative\u00a0transportation options.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Transportation demand management (TDM) is defined\u00a0as a series of measures and strategies to decrease\u00a0vehicular use and increase the proportion of trips made\u00a0by transit, walking, and cycling.
