[sustran] Re: College Campuses: Sustainable Transportation Laboratories

[Carlos F. Pardo V.]

Though I have no bibliographical references or have written anything about
it, I found out that Bangkok's Thammasat University (a little bit in the
outskirts of the city) has a very high percentage of bicycle use. It's
really funny to find this near Bangkok, where you will find very few
bicycles and a very intense car use. just a thought. I have some nice
pictures if anyone is interested.

 

Best regards,

If you go to www.tcrponline.org and then go to "TCRP Publications" you will
find a list of

free publications. One of them is a synthesis of university/college
transportation programs. Also

Don Shoup, et.al wrote an article called either "Unlimited Access" or
"Universal Access" which

talks about how university towns get much better than average transit than
other US towns

thanks to the presence of a university. Sorry that I can't give the exact
citation since I am not at

home, but you can probably find it by looking up Shoup at UCLA's website.

We now have the beginning of a more structured (??) introductory and link
page on this intriguing topic, concerning which I rather think a number of
you have some useful leads that you might care to share with us all. 

 

You will see it in the bottom menu of our New Mobility Agenda site at
http://newmobility.org - "Campus Transport".  For now it's a bit of a mess,
but no less interesting for all that.  

 

And with your good participation . . . 

 

Pitch in.
