Chapman Parking Challenges Opt out of parking instead of opt in Two-week opt out window Low participation in alternative transportation incentives Low parking scores on student surveys Faculty and staff complaints Fighting against a culture that does not walk
5
What are we doing? Ride Share incentives Carpool permit $175/year and must carpool 3 days/yr) Metrolink Reimbursement : $50 subsidy First 60 people who reserve passes) OCTA Bus Pass : $69 Staff/Faculty Capped at 28 users a month Bike Vouchers Parking App Shuttles ZipCar ZimRide
6
What is the transportation reality? 200+ spaces available at our busiest parking time Average space turnover rate is 3 to 4 times a day Walking from our “farthest” parking lot is the same distance as walking from the last space in the parking lot on campus Shuttles are lightly used More than enough bike Parking on campus but it isn’t located in ideal locations Little to no marketing or education re: RideShare Incentives 320+ Faculty and Staff members live within 2 miles of campus and overwhelmingly they still drive to campus
7
What does our reality tell us? We aren’t committed to actually addressing the problem in an equitable, sustainable way We are failing at educating our campus population We are trying to solve the problem with an old model What do we do now? Change the conversation Include all the stakeholders: Parking, Public Safety, HR, Diversity, Facilities, Sustainability, Faculty Senate, SGA, Campus Planning, Orientation
