Abstract:University campuses have unique transportation requirements that may be characterized with a high concentration of trips during multiple peak periods (i.e., morning, lunch, and afternoon). These campuses are often the largest employers in small-to-medium size cities and it is therefore critical to coordinate campus mobility needs with the overall transportation system. Many colleges and universities recognize transit as an effective mode for meeting campus mobility and have developed transit systems to serve those needs. However, successful campus transit systems include several factors such as careful planning, understanding user preferences, efficient design of system services, and coordination with existing city transit service. Universities are not homogenous (i.e., enrollment levels, campus location, size of community) so they will have different needs. This paper focuses on the mobility needs of NDSU faculty and staff. It is part of a larger study that examines NDSU student mobility needs. In this paper we will present the results of an online survey administered in the fall of 2002 with the assistance of President Chapman. The results of this study are based on the responses of 319 faculty and staff.
