Introduction
PSPM works to identify the university’s transportation and mobility infrastructure priorities and conducts long-term planning efforts aimed at meeting transportation-related needs. Through its planning efforts, an implementation strategy for transportation-related projects and initiatives is recommended to align with other campus plans such as the Campus Master Plan and Landscape Master Plan as well as with any broader City of Chicago and state transportation and mobility goals. The sustainability goals set forth by the Climate Action Implementation Plan are also an important lens for UIC’s transportation planning. As a result, PSPM's transportation planning recommendations promote best practices to reduce UIC’s carbon footprint.
Title
The Transportation and Mobility Survey is facilitated by PSPM and gathers information about how the members of the UIC and UI Health campus community travel to, from and around campus. The results are then compiled and published into a report that helps shape UIC transportation planning.
The 2024 Transportation and Mobility Survey Report highlights the key findings from approximately 5,500 survey responses collected throughout February and March of 2024 and informs university leadership of the travel behavior of UIC students, faculty and staff. The data and key findings bring attention to concerns about transit efficiency, parking capacity and infrastructure conditions, and highlights opportunities as the university moves toward integrated multi-modal planning.
